What Is Functional Nutritional Testing?

Functional nutritional testing from Genova Diagnostics offers a detailed look into your body’s biochemical pathways, helping to uncover and address nutrient imbalances.

By analyzing organic acid markers in urine, this assessment detects:

• Metabolic blocks caused by nutrient deficiencies, enzyme deficits, or toxic build-up.
• Functional nutrient needs that may not appear in standard blood serum tests.

How Does It Work?
Organic acids are processed by enzymes that rely on vitamins and minerals to function effectively. When organic acid levels are elevated, it can indicate:

• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies at a cellular level.
• The need for targeted supplementation to restore metabolic balance.

Why Is This Important?
While originally developed for neonatal and pediatric medicine to detect genetic inborn errors of metabolism, organic acid testing now plays a vital role in personalized nutrition. Even in cases where decreased enzyme activity is caused by non-genetic factors, targeted nutrient cofactors can effectively restore balance.

Note:
Although Genova’s organic acid testing is not intended for diagnosing neonatal inborn errors of metabolism, it provides actionable insights to address functional nutrient needs through tailored interventions.

Conditions Linked to Nutritional Imbalances

Additionally, functional nutritional testing can reveal abnormal levels of organic acids, amino acids, and fatty acids, which are often associated with conditions such as:

• Depression and anxiety
• Cardiovascular disease
• Neurocognitive decline
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Anorexia
• And many others

Important Considerations

• Age Restrictions: Testing is not recommended for children under 2 years old.
• Pediatric Insights: The Metabolomix+ test includes reference ranges and nutrient recommendations for children aged 2 and older, making it a valuable resource for addressing pediatric nutritional needs.

Take a proactive approach to your health by uncovering the nutritional imbalances that could be impacting your well-being. Functional nutritional testing empowers clinicians to design targeted, personalized interventions tailored to your unique needs, helping you feel your best.

Enhance Your Functional Nutritional Assessment with Add-Ons Dr. Jo Recommends

Take your nutritional insights to the next level with these essential add-ons, designed to provide a more comprehensive view of your health:

Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acid Markers (Bloodspot – Whole Blood)

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are essential for brain function, cardiovascular health, and reducing inflammation.
• Omega-6 Fatty Acids: These play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of inflammation in the body.
• Omega-9 Fatty Acids: Critical for brain development, nerve myelin formation, and reducing inflammation.
• Saturated Fatty Acids: These contribute to lipoprotein metabolism and help manage adipose tissue inflammation.
• Monounsaturated Fats: Includes both healthy omega-7 fats and potentially harmful trans fats.
• Delta-6 Desaturase Activity: Assesses the efficiency of enzymes responsible for metabolizing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
• Cardiovascular Risk Assessment: Provides specific ratios and the Omega-3 Index, offering a detailed evaluation of heart health.

Comprehensive Urine Element Profile (Urine)

This add-on assesses 18 toxic elements and 14 mineral elements, offering valuable insights into your body’s toxic exposures and nutrient levels.

SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) Add-Ons (Buccal Swab)

• Includes MTHFR, COMT, TNF-α, and APOE, which reveal genetic variations that influence nutrient metabolism, inflammation, and overall health.
