Complete Metabolic & Genetic Profile

Description

The Complete Metabolic & Genetic profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of nutritional deficiencies. It is ideal for establishing an assessment for nutritional supplementation as well as subsequent testing, if needed.

What Advantage Does the Complete Metabolic & Genetic Profile Offer Compared to Other Diagnostics?

The traditional medical model does not currently place emphasis on biochemical individuality. The conventional clinical approach to nutrition-related symptoms does not routinely include utilization of comprehensive nutritional testing. When testing is performed, select vitamins are assessed to determine if the level is sufficient to meet nutrient requirements based on healthy individuals. However, a comprehensive assay – such as the Complete Metabolic & Genetic Profile  – provides several advantages for patients.

• Identification of imbalances that may precede abnormal findings on standard laboratory panels
• Comprehensive nutritional assessment indicating the functional need for specific nutrients, diet modification, antioxidant protection, detoxification and other therapies
• Personalized nutrient recommendations based on biochemical individuality

Studies suggest that even a balanced diet may not provide all essential nutrients. This Complete Metabolic panel supports assessment of a patient’s nutritional needs by identifying nutritional deficiencies that may be associated with complex chronic conditions.
