A 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 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: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) food sensitivity, also known as delayed food intolerance, describes an adverse reaction to food that is mediated by IgG antibodies. Unlike IgE mediated food allergies, which can cause immediate and severe reactions, IgG food sensitivities typically manifest with delayed symptoms that can take hours or days to appear. These symptoms can…
read moreIndications: Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is the key building block for its co-enzymatic forms flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), of which FAD is the main form in body tissues. FAD levels are a reliable way of assessing vitamin B2 status and are reported in our results. Vitamin B2 is required for carbohydrate, lipid…
read moreIndication: Vitamin B6 describes a group of six water-soluble vitamins with vitamin B6 activity. We report vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-phosphate) as the most biologically active form of the vitamin and is recommended for assessing nutritional B6 status. Vitamin B6 is required for energy production, nervous system, haemoglobin synthesis and function, the folate and methylation cycles, hormone…
read moreIndications: Biotin (coenzyme R, vitamin H) is an essential micronutrient for all mammals and is a water-soluble member of the B complex group of vitamins. It has an essential role in the metabolic pathways of gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and the metabolism of amino acids . Biotinylation of histones appears to be important in embryological…
read moreZinc is an essential trace mineral that plays a crucial role in many biochemical functions, from DNA synthesis and protein building to immune system support and wound healing. It is found in every cell of the body and is required by over 300 enzymes. A deficiency in zinc can lead to a wide range of…
