Amino acids:

are the building blocks of proteins and cancer tissues.

Comprehensive tests are available where Amino Acids as well as Organic Acids can be tested along with Food Antibody profile of patient. The test helps to individualize the nutritional plan for patients.

Organic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity.

Marked accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. Several of these analytes are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth.

The Organic Acids Comprehensive Profile provides a view into the body's cellular metabolic processes and the efficiency of metabolic function. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows individual tailoring of interventions that maximize patient responses and lead to improved patient outcomes.
