Nutrition Testing

Why it Matters

Nutrient imbalances can have a profound impact on energy, immunity, hormone balance, and overall health. Many people experience fatigue, stress, gut issues, or chronic symptoms without realising that underlying micronutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress, and poor detoxification may be contributing factors.

The NutrEval and Metabolomix+ tests provide a comprehensive assessment of key nutritional biomarkers, identifying functional deficiencies that standard blood tests may miss. These tests evaluate how well the body is absorbing, utilising, and metabolising essential nutrients, offering deeper insight into energy production, mitochondrial function, gut health, detoxification, and inflammation.

✔ NutrEval – Our most comprehensive functional nutrition assessment, including blood, urine, and plasma markers, ideal for those wanting the most in-depth analysis.

✔ Metabolomix+ – A cost-effective alternative that still provides key urine-based nutritional insights, making it more accessible while still offering valuable data.
