Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the second leading cause of death in North America. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a risk factor for CVD and renal damage. Therefor this comprehensive test evaluates risk for CVD plus too often associated MetS. Many of the risk factors and metabolic abnormalities associated with both CVD and MetS are lifestyle related.…

Sample…
read moreA comprehensive profile of toxic elements measure in urine. Suitable for screening for acute exposures and to assess chronic environmental exposures. Results are reported corrected for creatinine allowing for urine concentration (a 6-hour urine collection is recommended as a representative sample). Elements measured include: Aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, caesium, gadolinium, lead, mercury,…
read moreIndications: Blood toxic element screening is the standard method for assessing levels of toxic metals from either acute or environmental background exposures. Whole blood screening assesses combined levels of intracellular and extracellular (plasma) levels of these metals. A range of mineral levels are also reported, but we recommend our Plasma Mineral and Red Cell Magnesium…

Sample Requirements: 24 hour urine collection recommended (6 hour collection also acceptable): Sample Report: Instructions Postal Samples: Accepted
read moreOver the past two decades there has been sustained interest in essential fatty acid supplementation. The focus has now switched from supplementation with fish oil to the use of oils containing specific, enhanced concentrations of named essential fatty acids. In the late 1990s large clinical trials were published supporting the cardiovascular benefits of consumption of…
read moreIndications: Homocysteine is a non-essential, thiol-containing amino acid which is produced from the intracellular de-methylation of dietary methionine. It is exported from the cells into the extracellular fluid at a slow but consistent rate and circulates in the blood mainly in an oxidised form, bound to plasma proteins. There are two major pathways for its…
