Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total (Blood)
Detects deficiencies in Vitamin D (independently monitoring both Vitamin D2 and D3 status by LC-MS/MS) as a potential cause of health problems ranging from osteoporosis to cardiovascular disease. Recommended Vitamin D levels are between 40/60 ng/ml.

GREETINGS!  We have been searching for comprehensive testing for our patients and clients so we can continue to assist you in creating a STRATEGY for OPTIMAL HEALTH. We have taken the guessing out of what you should be doing to optimize your health. The following three tests will help us assist you in creating an objective protocol to improve your health.

Bloodspot^SM IgG Food Antibodies - IgG antibodies are associated with "delayed" food reactions that can worsen or contribute to many different health problems.  Food sensitivies can occur at any age, triggering many different symptoms and contribute to a variety of disorders.  From a simple finger stick, the Bloodspot^SM IgG4 Food Antibody Profile measures levels of IgG4 antibodies specific to 30 commonly offending foods.  It clearly identifies those foods that may be causing health problems, helping to achieve positive outcomes sooner.

Bloodspot^SM Fatty Acids - Fatty acid profiles are an ideal way to track patient progress or response to treatment and can help clinicians determine if he/she is giving too much or too little fatty acid supplementation.  The Bloodspot^SM Fatty Acid Profile measures key omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and calculates key indicators to establish your optimal balance.  It provides a convenient way to monitor fatty acid supplementation, dietary intakes of trans fats (the "bad" oils in processed foods), identify levels of the inflammatory marker archadonic acid, as well as ratios to assess eicosanoid balance, and zinc needs.

Estronex^SM - Every woman should know her risk for breast cancer...Now you can with a simple urine test!  A test to determine if you might be at risk...and a plan to reduce that risk.

What is the Extronex^SM 2/16 Profile?  The Estronex 2/16 Profile is a measurement of two important forms of estrogen:  2-OHE1 (the "good" estrogen) and 16-a-OHE1 (the "bad" estrogen).  The ratio of "good to bad estrogen" is determined from a single urine specimen.  Studies have shown that women with low Estronex 2/16 ratios have much higher rates of breast cancer.  Low Estronix 2/16 ratios also indicate increased long-term risk for other estrogen-sensitive cancers, including uterine, ovarian, cervical, and even head and neck cancers.

Why are some women susceptible, but not others?  Researchers at Rockefeller University found that the body metabolizes estrogen into several different forms that can impact cancer development.  One form, 2-hydroxyestrone (20OHE1), tends to inhibit cancer growth.  Another, 16-a-hydroxyestrone (16-a-OHE1) actually encourages tumor development.  A woman's "biochemical individuality" determines how much of each form is produced.  Studies have shown that measuring the ratio of these two forms of estrogen provides an important indication of future risk for development of breast cancer. 

The studies also show that this risk can be modified!
