Comprehensive nutritional analysis to identify deficiencies and support optimal health.
NutrEval®
About NutrEval
The NutrEval Plasma® is both a blood and urine test that evaluates over 125 biomarkers and assesses the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other select nutrients. Personalized recommendations for nutrients are determined by using an algorithm based on the patient’s test findings. The NutrEval Plasma and NutrEval FMV (first morning void) differ based on which sample type is used to measure amino acids, plasma or urine.
Who is a NutrEval for?
This test is one of the most comprehensive nutrient assessment tests available. Those who have symptoms of nutrient imbalances may benefit from this test. Symptoms such as:
– Mood disorders
– Cardiovascular disease
– Obesity/ Insulin resistance/ Type 2 Diabetes
– Fatigue
– Weight Issues / Dietary Guidance
– Malnutrition often observed in the elderly
– Maldigestion/Malabsorption
– Increased nutrient demand in athletes
– Increased nutrient demand in physical trauma/healing
Interpretation-At-A-Glance pages provide educational information on nutrient function, causes and complications of deficiencies, and dietary sources.

What are the advantages of a NutrEval
The NutrEval Plasma is one of the most comprehensive nutritional profiles available assessing a broad array of macronutrients and micronutrients, as well as markers that give insight into digestive function, toxic exposure, mitochondrial function, and oxidative stress.
A user-friendly report with clinically actionable results including:
Suggested digestive support and vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fatty acid recommendations based on an algorithmic calculation of functional need for cofactors in the body’s metabolism. Functional pillars with a built-in scoring system to guide therapy for methylation support, toxic exposures, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress.

IMPORTANT TEST PREPARATION
READ CAREFULLY:
First you do NOT need to do the swab if it is included in your kit.
Eat usual diet, avoid over-eating any single food or extreme diet
Use your normal nightly routine of brushing and flossing of teeth, but do not use mouthwash
Limit to (6) 8-ounce glasses (total of 48 ounces) of fluid over 24 hours before collection
Just prior to collection, wash hands thoroughly with soap
Fast overnight prior to urine collection and blood draw – water is okay
Have a clean container available to urinate into (a large plastic cup will work)
1. If you wake up during the night, within 6 hours of your morning urination, collect that urine into a clean container – and refrigerate it. Upon waking in the morning, collect your urine into the same container.
2. Use the pipette to transfer urine from the collection container into the blue-top amber tube and green-top urine tube until all are nearly full. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. For eye contact, flush with water thoroughly for 15 minutes. For skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If ingested, contact poison control center immediately.
3. Recap the tubes tightly and shake.
4. Place a peel and stick label on all the tubes and the test requisition. Make sure your date of birth (mm/dd/yyyy) is filled out.
5. Place the tubes into the biohazard bag labeled BAG ONE and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.
