Comprehensive blood test analyzing 40 amino acids, covering nutritional, essential, and non-essential aspects.
An amino acid panel measures the levels of individual amino acids — the building blocks of proteins — in your blood or urine. The 20+ amino acids your body uses serve critical roles in neurotransmitter production, muscle synthesis, immune function, detoxification, and energy metabolism. Testing can reveal deficiencies or imbalances that affect mood (tryptophan for serotonin), energy (carnitine, CoQ10 precursors), muscle recovery (branched-chain amino acids), detoxification (glutathione precursors like glycine and cysteine), and overall metabolic health. Amino acid profiling is commonly used in functional and integrative medicine to guide targeted supplementation.

Who Is This For?
Athletes and bodybuilders wanting to optimize protein intake and recovery. People with chronic fatigue, mood disorders, or poor wound healing. Vegetarians and vegans who may have specific amino acid gaps. Anyone working with a functional medicine practitioner on targeted supplementation.
