The NutriTest™ is an evaluation of nutritional needs and metabolic functioning. This well-established, urinary assessment measures 39 key organic acids, grouped according to their primary roles in four central areas of metabolism: * Gastrointestinal Function * Production of Cellular Energy * Neurotransmitter Metabolites * Nutrient Sufficiency
Within weeks, both the patient and the clinician receive the patient's NutriTest™ results via email. Each patient's test report includes a full set of results for all elements of the test, as well as an in-depth interpretation of any abnormal results with a list of suggested remedial nutrients. Based on the overall NutriTest™ score, each patient is assigned the customized multi-vitamin formula that best suits their individual nutritional needs.
In addition, depending on their results on the GI Functioning component of their NutriTest™, a probiotic and/or a digestive enzyme supplement may be recommended.
