What are metabolism tests?
Testing
Through metabolism tests, we can detect the levels of fatty acids and organic acids in the blood and urine. These are important metabolites produced by key metabolic reactions and play a significant role in the proper functioning of the body.
With metabolism tests, we can identify possible deficiencies and imbalances in nutrients within our body—such as vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and trace elements—which act as essential co-enzymes in these key metabolic reactions.
Metabolism tests also show whether the diet we follow is appropriate for the needs of our body, allowing us to adjust it accordingly so that what we eat is metabolized to the maximum possible extent.
It is important to note that while certain individuals may have a genetic predisposition (intolerance) that leads to improper assimilation of some foods, in the majority of cases (over 70%), digestion and metabolism problems are not due to intolerance to components of these foods but rather to nutrient deficiencies, dietary imbalances, and bodily dysfunctions that can largely be corrected.
Treatment through personalized nutrition
Our primary goal is to optimize metabolic activity and, consequently, the overall health of the body by proposing a personalized nutrition plan and a supplement regimen that directly addresses the needs of each individual.
This is the most direct and reliable way to identify nutrient deficiencies and dietary imbalances so that we can form the ideal nutrition and supplement plan, and also verify the proper absorption of nutrients by the body.
Purpose of metabolism tests
Our diet is the main fuel source for the body to function properly and perform at its best.
Metabolism tests are a very important tool for determining whether what we eat is suitable for the optimal functioning of our body, in order to improve health and well-being, increase energy levels, achieve weight loss and regulation, enhance the quality of our skin and hair, and help regulate and combat chronic diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune conditions, cancer, and others.
