NutrEval urine micronutrient test

Sample report

NutrEval is the most comprehensive functional and nutritional assessment available. It is designed to help practitioners identify root causes of dysfunction and provide a systems-based approach to help patients overcome chronic conditions and live a healthier life.

The NutrEval report offers:

• Nutrient recommendations for key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and digestive support

• Functional pillars with a built-in scoring system to guide therapy around needs for methylation support, toxic exposures, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress

• Interpretation-At-A-Glance pages for patient education

• Dynamic biochemical pathway charts for clearer understanding

The biomarkers on the NutrEval are arranged as follows:

• Organic Acids (urine)

  • Malabsorption Dysbiosis Markers are metabolites produced by the gastrointestinal microbiome

• Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Markers are biomarkers of carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and the citric acid (Kreb's) cycle

• Vitamin Markers are specific analytes used to assess functional levels of vitamin cofactors

• Neurotransmitter Metabolites are downstream byproducts of epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine

• Toxin & Detoxification Markers relate to certain toxic metabolites and the body's detoxification capacity

• NEW Oxalate Markers relate to kidney stone formation, oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction

• Oxidative Stress Markers include antioxidants glutathione (whole blood) and Coenzyme Q10 (serum), as well as the oxidative damage markers lipid peroxides and 8-OHdG (urine)

• Amino Acids (urine)

  • Essential Amino Acids must be derived from dietary sources

  • Nonessential Amino Acids are synthesized by the body

  • Intermediary Metabolites are byproducts of amino acid metabolism

    • B Vitamin Markers are involved in biochemical reactions that specifically require B vitamins

    • Urea Cycle Markers are byproducts associated with nitrogen detoxification

    • Glycine/Serine Metabolites are involved in the choline to acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) pathway and the methylation pathways

  • Dietary Peptide Related Markers can indicate incomplete protein breakdown

  
  

   

• Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Markers (RBCs)

  • Omega 3 Fatty Acids are essential for brain function and cardiovascular health and are anti-inflammatory

  • Omega 6 Fatty Acids are involved in the balance of inflammation

  • Omega 9 Fatty Acids are important for brain growth, nerve cell myelin, and reducing inflammation

  • Saturated Fatty Acids are involved in liproprotein metabolism and adipose tissue inflammation

  • Monounsaturated Fats include omega 7 fats and unhealthy trans fats

  • Delta-6 Desaturase Activity assesses efficiency of this enzyme to metabolize omega 6's and omega 3's

  • Cardiovascular Risk includes specific ratios and the Omega 3 Index

• Elemental Markers

  • Nutrient Elements are direct measurements of copper and zinc (plasma), magnesium and potassium (RBC), and manganese and selenium (whole blood)

  • Toxic Elements (whole blood) indicate exposure to lead, mercury, arsenic, or cadmium within approximately a 90-120 day timeframe

• Optional Add-on Vitamin D (serum) measures a total of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (ergocalciferol)

• Optional Add-on Genomic SNPs (buccal swab) include MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE

• Optional Add-on COVID-19 IgG Antibodies Assay

What advantage does the NutrEval FMV offer compared to other diagnostics?

The NutrEval FMV is one of the most comprehensive nutritional profiles available assessing a broad array of macronutrients and micronutrients, as well as markers that give insight into digestive function, toxic exposure, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress.

Genova provides a user-friendly report with clinically actionable results including:

• Suggested digestive support and vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fatty acid recommendations based on an algorithmic calculation of functional need for cofactors in the body's metabolism

• Functional pillars with a built-in scoring system to guide therapy for methylation support, toxic exposures, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress

• Interpretation-At-A-Glance pages provide educational information on nutrient function, causes and complications of deficiencies, and dietary sources
