Think of organic and amino acids tests as a look under the hood. They measure the metabolic compounds in your urine, providing many important clues. These tests can be used to evaluate cellular and mitochondrial energy production, gastrointestinal function, nutrient utilization, and neurotransmitter processing. They also give clues to possible nutrient deficiencies. We use an organic acids test that is combined with blood assessment of heavy metals, environmental chemicals and lipids as our ‘optimal’ initial work-up: the Genova NutrEval and Metabolomix+.
