Metabolomix+
Genova Diagnostics
Sample type: Urine
Requires fasting: Yes
At home test
Details
This unique nutritional test combines several methodologies and biomarkers – synthesizing the results into a dynamic report for easy interpretation. While similar to the Genova NutraEval, Metabolomix+ has the advantage of samples being collected entirely at home. It’s a patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. The insights gained allow practitioners to target nutritional therapies to meet the precise needs of their patients.

The only nutritional testing of its kind – combines several methodologies and biomarkers and synthesizes the results. Metabolomix+ is similar to Genova Diagnostics' comprehensive NutrEval with the advantage of being collected entirely at home.
Dynamic reporting allows for easy interpretation and clinically actionable results.
The Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. A first morning void (FMV) urine collection, with optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab, the Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids.
Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allows clinicians to target nutritional therapies to meet the precise needs of their patients.
Which patients might benefit from functional nutritional testing?
Common clinical indications for testing include:
