2. Essential Fatty Acids
- Evaluates omega-3 and omega-6 balance, crucial for inflammation control, brain health, and cardiovascular function.
3. Amino Acids
- Measures essential and nonessential amino acids, identifying imbalances affecting muscle health, immune function, and neurotransmitter production.
4. Organic Acids
- Provides insights into energy production, detoxification, and gut microbial balance.
5. Thyroid Health
- Examines markers related to thyroid function, which play a critical role in metabolism, energy levels, and hormonal health.
6. Cardiovascular Health
- Evaluates biomarkers such as lipid profiles, oxidative stress indicators, and fatty acid balance to support heart health.
7. Hormonal Health
- Analyzes markers associated with reproductive health, hormone balance, and fertility.
