Description

The NutrEval® Plasma test is one of the most comprehensive tools available to assess cellular nutrition, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, amino acid balance, toxin exposure, and neurotransmitter metabolism.

It measures over 125 biomarkers across 7 key functional areas. This test helps identify root causes of chronic symptoms and guides targeted supplement and lifestyle interventions.
