Amino Acid
Amino acids have
more diverse functions than any other
nutrient group. They affect
physical, mental, and emotional function.
When amino acid supply cannot meet
tissue demand, important bodily functions
suffer.
A large number of
metabolic disorders involve amino acids due
to their complex biochemistry, involving dozens of enzyme systems.
This test can assess the adequacy and
balance of dietary protein,
gastrointestinal dysfunctions, forms of
protein intolerance, functional vitamin and
mineral deficiencies (particularly folic
acid, vitamin B12, B6, zinc and magnesium),
renal and hepatic dysfunction, psychiatric
abnormalities, susceptibility to
inflammatory response and oxidative stress,
reduced detoxification capacity,
susceptibility to occlusive arterial disease
and many inherent disorders in amino acid
metabolism.

The first morning Urine Amino
Acids analysis measures both essential and
non-essential amino acids, as well as
various intermediary metabolites, which
provide a useful insight into an array of
biochemical processes.
What is
amino acid therapy ?
Customised amino acid powders are
individually formulated, based on your
specific test results. These formulations provide appropriate amounts of amino
acids delivered in a balanced ratio to
offset any chance of imbalance sometimes
seen with use of single amino acids.
