The DFH Comprehensive Metabolic Profile test series is an excellent foundational test to gauge ones metabolic and nutritional health….
The Designs for Health™ Metabolic Profiles provide a roadmap that recognizes the interactions of the different complex systems within the body and can point to metabolic blockages that lead to disease.
-Shows essential nutrient and digestive system abnormalities that reveal root causes of symptoms.
-Allows the targeted use of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, putting you more quickly on your journey to wellness by providing specific correction of nutritional imbalances.
-Avoids costly, time-consuming, trial and error processes allow for nutritional support that is tuned to your individual needs.
The Comprehensive Metabolic Profile Test covers “overnight” urine and fasting bloodspot samples for
Organic Acids Test, Fatty Acids Test, Food Antibodies IgG4 Test.
Why use an organic acid test?
-Organic acids are metabolic intermediates produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, and intestinal microbial activity.
-Accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block.
-This abnormality may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, or drug effect.
-Testing for organic acids helps reveal activity and changes at the metabolic level, helping practitioners discover hidden issues and pinpoint where therapeutic focus is needed
Why use Bloodspot Fatty Acid Profile?
Fatty Acids Research
-People indiscriminately Consuming more Fatty Acid Supplements
-Anti-inflammatory and Pro-inflammatory Eicosanoids
-Statins Negatively Impact Fatty Acids Status
-Excessive Intake of PUFAs Induces Free Radical Production
-Immunosuppressive Effects of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Why choose the Bloodspot IgG Food Antibodies Profile?
-offers a non-invasive alternative to a blood draw in determining IgG food reactions.
-IgG4 antibodies are associated with non-atopic or “delayed” food reactions that can worsen or contribute to many health conditions. Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering a wide range of symptoms.
-A report with many foods showing moderate or severe total IgG4 elevations may reflect a chronic intestinal permeability problem.
-Progressive loosening of the junctions between intestinal cells can produce a “leaky gut” situation where undigested particles of food enter the blood in higher amounts.
-The “leaky gut” phenomenon causes food antigens to permeate into the bloodstream where the immune system generates IgG4 antibodies to protect against more dangerous types of reactions. The process of antibody production and removal causes a metabolic stress.
Leave the biochemistry to the experts ……. metabolic blockages, inflammation, leaky gut, nutrient deficiency, inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, insufficient antioxidants , allergies etc
The CMP Plus includes an Amio Acid Test
Why Test Amino Acids? – The Body’s Fundamental Building Blocks
Amino acids make up proteins found in every tissue of the body. They play a major role in nearly every chemical process that affects both physical and mental function. As a result, amino acids have more diverse functions than any other nutrient group, including:
a.Cellular energy production
b.Formation of ligaments, tendons, and bones
c.Formation of antibodies
d.Formation and regulation of enzymes and blood transport proteins
