NutriSTAT
Urine Blood
Performed by: NutriPATH
The Nutri-STAT profile is a comprehensive test designed to assist in improving nutritional and metabolic health through a simple blood and urine sample. This report covers an extensive range of biomarkers involved in metabolic health, thyroid health, cardiovascular health, and hormone health. This panel also includes an in-depth analysis of mineral and metal status, essential fatty acids, amino acids, organic acids and many more. Due to the diverse range of analytes measured in this profile it can be suitably requested for individuals with many different conditions and for those who wish to identify functional nutritional needs.
Common Conditions:
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Malnutrition/ malabsorption/ maldigestion
- Obesity
- Insulin Resistance/ Type 2 Diabetes
- Athletic Performance
- Fertility/ Hormone health
- Heavy metal toxicity and mineral deficiency

Biomarkers included in this panel:
The marker % Free Copper on a Nutristat test signifies the proportion of unbound or available copper in the bloodstream. This measurement helps assess the balance between free copper and the copper bound to proteins like ceruloplasmin. Abnormaliti
Learn moreActivated Vitamin B12, also known as holotranscobalamin (holo-TC), is a significant biomarker for Vitamin B12 status in the body. Unlike total B12, which measures both active and inactive forms, holo-TC specifically indicates the amount of Vitamin B1
Learn moreDietary fatty acids are metabolized into fuel sources using beta-oxidation. Fatty acid conversion into Acetyl-CoA requires transport across the mitochondrial membrane via the carnitine shuttle. When beta-oxidation is impaired, fats are metabolized us
Learn moreApolipoprotein A is a protein carried in HDL ("good") cholesterol. It helps start the process for HDL to remove bad types of cholesterol from your body. In this way, apolipoprotein A can help to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease. A

Learn moreBeta-aminoisobutyric acid (also known as 3-aminoisobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid formed by the catabolism of valine and the nucleotide thymine. It is further catabolized to methylmalonic acid semialdehyde and propionyl-CoA. Levels are con
Learn moreYour total cholesterol score is calculated using the following equation: HDL + LDL + 20 percent of your triglyceride level. With HDL cholesterol, higher levels are better. Low HDL cholesterol puts you at a higher risk for heart disease. With LDL c

Learn moreT4 (thyroxine) is the predominant hormone produced by the thyroid gland. It is an inactive hormone and is converted into its active form, T3 within cells. Free T4 is the non-bound fraction of the total T4 circulating in the blood.
Learn moreThe FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine) to Reverse T3 (rT3) ratio is a crucial biomarker for assessing thyroid function, particularly in the context of thyroid hormone metabolism and the body’s overall metabolic state. Triiodothyronine (T3) is the acti

Learn moreIodine is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in thyroid function. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce thyroid hormones, which are responsible for controlling growth, repairing damaged cells, and supporting a healthy metabolism.
Learn moreLow-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), or “bad” cholesterol, is known to increase risk of heart attack and stroke when levels become elevated in the blood. LDL-C is measured as a part of a lipid profile, which is used to determine y
