It measures essential and nonessential amino acids, intermediate metabolites involved in protein metabolism, and dietary markers related to food peptides. It directly and indirectly highlights food deficiencies, gastrointestinal imbalances or defects in the detox process.
Amino acids are building blocks of all essential structural proteins for the human body and require specific nutrients for their metabolism and use. Amino acid analysis measures essential and non-essential amino acids, intermediate metabolites involved in protein metabolism, and dietary markers related to food peptides. The amino acid metabolism requires specific nutrients and their detection is able to directly and indirectly highlight situations of food deficiencies, gastrointestinal imbalances or defects in the detox process.
This test offers important metabolic, nutritional and neurological clinical data. Amino acid imbalances are often related to attention deficit disorder, depression, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. They could also highlight food deficits or excesses, liver diseases or serve as an insight into the patient's gastrointestinal condition
