Description
NutrEval Plasma – Genova Diagnostics
The NutrEval® is both a blood and urine profile that evaluates over 125 biomarkers and assesses the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other biomarkers to determine nutritional deficiencies and imbalances.
Functional pillars with a built-in scoring system guide the need for therapeutic support in areas of methylation, toxic exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress. The NutrEval Plasma and NutrEval FMV (first morning void) differ based on which sample type is used to measure amino acids, plasma or urine.
Comprehensive Nutritional Evaluation
Genova’s comprehensive nutritional evaluation and is designed to assist with management of symptoms related to nutritional deficiencies. This profile assesses numerous metabolic pathways and synthesizes this complex biochemistry into actionable treatment options. Critical nutrients that are functionally assessed on Genova’s nutritional profiles include:
- Antioxidants
- B Vitamins
- Minerals
- Essential Fatty Acids
- Digestive Support
The personalized supplement recommendations, adjusted for the age and sex of the patient, guide therapeutic protocols in identifying clinical imbalances that may inhibit optimal health.
Studies suggest that even a balanced diet may not provide all essential nutrients. NutrEval supports assessment of a patient’s nutritional needs by identifying nutritional deficiencies that may be.
About Genova's Testing
Test from Genova Measure:
It uses stool, breath, and urine specimens to uncover information about gut inflammation, immune function, digestion, absorption, the microbiome, infections, and gut mucosal integrity.
- Organic acids assess digestive function, intestinal dysbiosis, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter status, oxalate production, detoxification, and vitamin levels.
- Oxidative stress markers quantify cellular inflammation and damage to identify the need for antioxidant support.
- Urinary amino acids reflect recent protein intake, assess for protein malabsorption, and identify nutritional insufficiencies that can impair protein metabolism.
Who Benefits from Functional Nutrition Testing?
Common clinical indications for testing include:
- Mood disorders [2,3,4,5,6,7]
- Cardiovascular disease [8,9]
- Obesity/ Insulin resistance/ Type 2 Diabetes [10,11,12,13]
- Fatigue [14,15,16,17]
- Weight Issues/ Dietary Guidance [13,18]
- Malnutrition (often observed in the elderly) [19,20]
- Maldigestion/Malabsorption
- Athletic performance [21,22]
- Physical trauma/healing [16,23,24]
*Testing is not performed in patients under 2 years old. However, NutrEval does include reference ranges and nutrient needs that apply to pediatric patients aged 2 and older.
