NutrEval

NutrEval® – Comprehensive Nutritional Assessment

**Overview**

NutrEval® is an advanced and comprehensive blood and urine profile designed to identify nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies in patients.

This assessment combines blood and urine analysis to evaluate over 125 biomarkers, providing insights into the body’s functional needs for antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other essential nutrients.

Key Features

1. **Comprehensive Analysis:** NutrEval® assesses a wide range of nutritional biomarkers, offering insights into the body’s functional needs across various essential nutrients.
2. **Personalized Recommendations:** Based on the patient’s test results, an algorithm generates personalized recommendations for nutrient supplementation. This algorithm considers the patient’s unique nutritional requirements.
3. **Functional Pillars:** NutrEval® includes a scoring system for functional pillars such as methylation, toxic exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, fatty acid imbalances, and oxidative stress. This helps clinicians understand specific areas requiring therapeutic support.

Benefits of NutrEval

1. **Wide Applicability:** NutrEval® addresses a variety of patient concerns, from chronic health conditions to health optimization and peak performance.
2. **Comprehensive Assessment:** It’s one of the most comprehensive nutritional assessments available, combining multiple methodologies and biomarkers to offer a holistic understanding of nutritional status.
3. **Dynamic Reporting:** The results are presented in a way that’s easy to interpret, allowing for clinically actionable insights.

Patients Who Benefit

Nutritional imbalances are often at the root of various diseases and conditions. NutrEval® is recommended for patients with:

• Mood disorders
• Cardiovascular disease
• Obesity/Insulin resistance/Type 2 Diabetes
• Fatigue
• Weight management needs
• Malnutrition (common in the elderly)
• Digestive issues (maldigestion/malabsorption)
• Athletes seeking improved performance
• Individuals recovering from physical trauma
• Anyone seeking to optimize their nutritional health

Genova’s Approach to Nutritional Testing

Genova Diagnostics takes a unique approach to nutritional testing by assessing the body’s biochemical pathways. Elevated levels of organic and amino acids in urine can indicate metabolic inhibition or blockage due to nutrient deficiencies, genetic enzyme deficits, toxin accumulation, or the effects of medications.

The enzymes responsible for metabolizing these organic and amino acids depend on vitamins and minerals. Even with normal serum levels, elevated organic and amino acids may indicate a functional need for these nutrients at the cellular and biochemical levels.

Recommendations for nutrient supplementation are generated using a proprietary algorithm based on literature and research. The NutrEval® uses various methods to assess nutrient status, including intracellular and extracellular direct measurement, as well as measuring markers within biochemical pathways. This makes it a unique and valuable tool for clinicians to identify and address nutritional imbalances in their patients.
