Process and Method for Broad Spectrum Amino Acid Challenged Urinary Organic Acids

摘要

Discloses is a process for detecting and evaluating metabolic disturbances and specific nutrient insufficiencies within an individual. The bio-chemical pathways of the individual are challenged by consuming an oral amino acid supplement prior to urine sample collection. The oral amino acid supplement includes at least two of the amino acids selected from the group: L-Valine, L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Tryptophan, L-Histidine, and L-Alanine. After processing the amino acid supplement, a urine sample is collected and a urinary organic acid profile is evaluated. The levels of metabolic markers within the organic acid profile are evaluated to determine the presence of metabolic disturbances, nutrient insufficiencies, genetic impairments, toxicant impairments, mitochondrial function impairment, or small intestinal dysbiosis, within the individual.
