In many states, nutritionists are allowed to order labs that are from urine, saliva, or blood spot (check your state). MetaMetrix Laboratories makes it easy with 3 Designs for Health comprehensive panels.

The 3 panels are:
1. BMP- includes organix and lipid peroxides
2. BMP plus- includes organix, lipid peroxides, and fatty acid blood spot
3. CMP- includes organix, lipid peroxides, fatty acid blood spot, and IgG food allergy testing

Also D-arabinitol may be ordered to test for the presence of fungal elements or yeast.

The Organix profile tests for metabolic intermediates that are produced in energy production (Kreb's cycle), detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, and intestinal bacterial activity. Over time, the build up of organic acids in the urine can represent nutrient deficiencies, an inherited enzyme defect, toxin accumulation or drug effect.

The Fatty Acid Bloodspot meaures omega 3, omega 6, and trans fat levels in the blood and specific indicators are calculated.

Lipid Peroxides test measures oxidative stress in the urine.

The testing is easy and cost-effective but allows the nutritionist to access their client and recommend supplements based on the testing results.
