Metabolomix+ Test - A non-Invasive Personalized Nutritional Assessment (formerly Optimal Nutritional Evaluation)
Self-collect urine test with optional fingerprick & cheek swab add-ons
Tests multiple nutrition markers, organic acids and intestinal microbial dysbiosis
The Metabolomix+ profile, which supercedes the ONE test, is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers and organic acids. A first morning void (FMV) urine collection, with optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab, the Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allows clinicians to target nutritional therapies to meet the precise needs of their patients.
Nutritional deficiencies can be a factor of many complex chronic conditions, and Metabolomix+ utilizes an easy first-morning urine collection (called a first morning void or FMV) to provide nutritional recommendations based on a patient’s individual nutritional test results. Clinicians commonly use such nutritional testing to determine the nutritional deficiencies that are at the root of chronic conditions.
Symptoms and chronic conditions commonly related to nutrition and microbial imbalances:
- Fatigue
- Migraine
- Long Covid
- Sleep issues
- Muscle pain and fibromyalgia
- Chemical sensitivities
- Exercise intolerance
- Sub-optimal sports fitness
- Other unexplained health and pain issues
- Mood disorders including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Brain fog
- Neurotransmitter imbalances
- Gastrointestinal dysfunction
- Bloating
- Stomach pain
- Malabsorption
- Candida & thrush
- Dysbiosis
- IBS
- Leaky gut
- Food allergies and intolerances
- Environmental allergies
Using an easy-to-collect, first-morning urine sample, the Metabolomix+ FMV™ nutritional test gives physicians a better understanding of patients’ diet and nutritional deficiencies. By combining testing in 4 key areas of core nutrients, physicians are offered a depth of insight into a patient’s overall nutritional status un-rivalled in the laboratory industry. Genova Diagnostics has created an enhanced nutritional test report that synthesizes the results of nearly 80 individual biomarkers into one, easy-to-interpret overview, as well as a personalized patient supplementation schedule.
The Metabolomix+ FMV™ Nutritional Test Includes:
- Organic Acids and Metabolic Analysis Profile: Assessment provides information on multiple key organic acids. These biomarkers are grouped into easy-to-understand categories, and provide insight for functional support in the areas of: malabsorption & dysbiosis; cellular-energy & mitochondrial metabolism; neurotransmitter metabolism; vitamin deficiencies; and toxin exposure & detoxification need.
- Amino Acids Analysis: Features multiple urine amino acids. This assesses nutritionally essential and non-essential amino acids, as well as intermediary metabolites that augment an understanding of B vitamin need, and need for support of protein digestion & absorption.
- Oxidative Stress: Biomarkers highlight the body’s current state of oxidative stress and reserve capacity. Markers of oxidative injury assess cell membrane (lipid peroxides) and DNA(8-hydroxydeguanosine/8-OHdG) damage, while direct measurement of glutathione and CoQ10 provide insight into antioxidant reserve available to counter free-radical impact.
