FAQs

Who is the Amino Acid panel for?
Anyone who:

  • wants to identify any nutritional deficiencies and metabolic challenges
  • has previously taken functional lab testing without actionable, clear and wants both the data AND tailored insights

Why do you ask for Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements?
Because HRV directly and reliably tells us whether your system is mobilized or demobilized (or somewhere inbetween). In other words, it tells us how it is using its resources (crucially, how much investment is being permitted into the various organ systems that influence amino acid metabolism). This allows us to determine not just where any metabolic blockages may be occurring, but also in what context they are occurring (ie. which markers are downstream consequences of the way resources are being invested and which are due to dysfunction) and means you finally get insights that have a fair chance of actually working for you.

Taking these measurements is simple and requires only a few minutes. Even if you do not have a wearable device (like an Oura ring), this can be easily measured using any smartphone. 

What is the advantage of the urinary panel versus the blood panel?

The blood panel considered the ‘standard’ way to measure amino acid metabolism and is the most direct measurement available. Urinary testing can be distorted by kidney issues, but can be preferred to detect amino acid wasting and aberrant metabolism.
