Amino Acids Test

20 tests included
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.

Unlock the building blocks of your health.

Amino acids are the raw materials your body uses to build muscle, neurotransmitters, hormones and enzymes. When they’re out of balance, you can feel it as fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, mood changes or stubborn health issues that don’t quite add up. An Amino Acids Test gives you a detailed snapshot of these essential nutrients so you can target what your body is really missing.

This test can help you understand:

  • Whether you’re getting and absorbing enough protein
  • Imbalances linked with low energy, poor focus or low mood
  • Factors affecting muscle repair, training recovery and performance
  • Nutritional gaps that may be impacting sleep, immunity and detoxification

Your results highlight key amino acid levels, patterns of deficiency or excess, and where targeted nutrition or supplementation may help. It’s a powerful tool for anyone dealing with chronic fatigue, stress, mood issues, digestive problems, or wanting to optimise training, performance and overall resilience.

What's included

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.

IsoleucineLeucineLysineMethioninePhenylalanineThreonineTryptophanValineHistidine

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.

ArginineAsparagineGlutamineGlycineProlineTyrosineCitrullineOrnithineSerineTaurineBeta-AlanineHomoarginineGamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA)Sarcosine

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.
