• Customizing diet and lifestyle recommendations
• Enhancing athletic performance and recovery

What the Metabolic Analysis Profile Evaluates

The Metabolic Analysis Profile (MAP) is a urine-based nutritional test that measures 46 key organic acids to assess four essential areas of metabolism:

Gastrointestinal Function

This section evaluates eight markers that can reveal:

• Malabsorption
• Dysbiosis
• Yeast overgrowth
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Cognitive impairment
• Gastrointestinal distress
• Degenerative conditions

Addressing these imbalances can significantly improve gut health and overall wellness.

Energy Production

This panel assesses metabolites involved in the citric acid (Krebs) cycle, which is responsible for converting 90 percent of food energy into usable cellular energy. It includes:

• Carbohydrate metabolites indicating glucose metabolism issues
• Fat breakdown and cholesterol production markers
• Coenzyme Q10 production marker

Imbalances in these areas are linked to chronic fatigue, accelerated cellular aging, and poor energy levels.

Neurotransmitter Metabolites

This section evaluates urinary metabolites of key neurotransmitters such as:

• Epinephrine
• Dopamine
• Serotonin

These markers provide insight into stress response, emotional balance, cognitive function, and sleep quality.

Nutrient Sufficiency

This part of the test assesses the functional use and sufficiency of:

• Vitamins B6, B12, and C
• Magnesium
• Copper
• Iron
• Amino acids and enzyme cofactors

This helps identify subtle deficiencies that may not appear on standard blood tests but can significantly impact health.

Test Type: Urine  Applicable For: Children (ages 2–12) and adults
