Whats measured: Organic acids : Reveal issues in energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter balance, B vitamin status, antioxidant needs, and digestive health Vitamins and minerals: Vitamin D, activated B12, serum folate, zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, chromium, and iodine as well as other micronutrient markers Toxic heavy metals: Lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, arsenic Oxidative stress markers: Indicators linked to DNA damage Cardiovascular health markers: Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL sub-fractions, CRP, homocysteine, lipoprotein (a), iron studies, and fibrinogen Blood sugar regulation markers: Fasting glucose and insulin Hormone health markers: Insulin, DHEA, oestrogen, testosterone, SHBG, prolactin, FSH, and luteinising hormone Thyroid panel: TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, thyroid auto-antibodies Essential fats ratios : Omega 3, 6, and 9 in relation to saturated and trans fats Amino acids profile: Evaluates how effectively your body processes protein for immune health, muscle repair, and neurotransmitter production With this level of insight, your functional medicine practitioner can create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to optimise your health and address potential problems before they progress
Vmax values help understand the maximum rate that enzymes are able to saturate their substrates (Berg et al., 2002)
Collectively, regardless of disease status, this cohort of children from a konzo-affected region show signs of protein malnourishment, harbor measures of mitochondrial distress, and deficiencies in a key sulfur-containing amino acid (Cystine)
