Androgens and metabolites including DHEA-S, Androsterone, which can be associated with aging, weight loss, medications.
Etiocholanolone, Testosterone, 5a-DHT, and many more, can be associated with obesity, libido, aging, PCOS.
Daily free cortisol and cortisone and cortisol metabolites, which can be implicated in fatigue, depression, insomnia, fibromyalgia, anxiety, inflammation, and more.
Nutritional Organic Acids Tested:
Methylmalonate (MMA) to see if there is B12 deficiency, and can be associated with fatigue, brain fog, memory problems, muscle weakness, unsteady gait, numbness, tingling, depression, migraines/headaches, and low blood pressure.
Xanthurenate is a marker for vitamin B6 that can be implicated in mood changes, irritability, anxiety, depression, confusion, muscle pains, low energy, or fatigue.
Pyroglutamate is the marker tested for glutathione, and its levels can be associated with detoxification, protecting against cancer, anti-aging, heart problems, and brain diseases.
Vanillmandelate is a metabolite to show if there are issues with the adrenal gland because if this marker is low, then norepinephrine and epinephrine are also low, and they are released by the adrenal gland.
Homovanillate is a metabolite of dopamine, and if low, then patients report fatigue, low motivation, depression, and addiction.
5HIAAA is a metabolite of serotonin and can be associated with fatigue and depression.
