Amino Acid Testing

Amino acids play central roles as building blocks of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. Amino acid metabolism may be compromised by common lifestyle and dietary factors, which may result in inadequate levels of essential amino acids and/or missing nutrient cofactors required for effective amino acid metabolism.

Intervention with amino-acid supplementation and nutrient cofactors may also be effective in conditions associated with inefficient amino acid metabolism.

Genova’s Amino Acid Analysis measures levels of key amino acids. Measuring amino acids provides a measurement of the overall “steady-state” amino acid pool. The test identifies amino-acid insufficiency and imbalances, which can occur due to inadequate dietary intake and/or maldigestion/malabsorption of dietary proteins.

The Amino Acid Analysis, FMV is a nutritional test that evaluates amino acids for advanced insight and targeted treatment. Amino acid metabolism may be compromised by common lifestyle and dietary
