Amino Acids Check
$150 AUD
This dried blood spot test includes 26 essential and non essential amino acids. Testing amino acids helps assess nutritional status, metabolic function, and potential deficiencies or imbalances that may impact energy, mood, detoxification, and overall health. It can also reveal issues with protein digestion, absorption, or genetic metabolic pathways.
What we test
Essential Amino Acids
This panel measures the nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through diet. These amino acids are vital for building proteins, supporting muscle growth, maintaining immune function, and regulating hormones and neurotransmitters. Tracking these levels can help identify nutritional gaps, support metabolic health, and guide dietary or supplement interventions for optimal wellness.
This finger prick blood spot test measures:
Conditionally Essential Amino Acids
This panel assesses amino acids that are typically synthesised by the body but become essential during times of stress, illness, rapid growth, or intense physical activity. These nutrients play critical roles in immune defense, detoxification, energy production, brain function, and tissue repair. Monitoring these amino acids offers insight into your body’s metabolic demands and helps guide personalised nutritional or therapeutic strategies for optimal health and recovery.
This finger prick blood spot test measures:
Non-Essential Amino Acids
This panel evaluates amino acids that the body can typically produce on its own under normal conditions. While termed “non-essential,” these amino acids are fundamental to numerous physiological processes including energy metabolism, neurotransmission, and cellular repair. Assessing these levels can provide valuable insight into overall metabolic health, especially when investigating fatigue, cognitive changes, or nutrient imbalances.
