Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers. A first morning void (FMV) urine collection, with an optional add-on bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab, the Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. Insights gained from the Metabolomix+ nutritional test allow clinicians to target nutritional therapies to meet the precise needs of their patients.

How Our Metabolomix Assessment Plan Works
Core Chiropractic
Central to chiropractic care is the knowledge that spinal correction optimizes the nervous system for proper function.
Nutrition
If you want to have the best health for your entire lifetime, you have to choose a healthy diet focused on whole foods that will supply your body with all the nutrients it needs to keep you in peak performance on a daily basis.
Mindset
A healthy body starts with the right mindset. We believe a healthy lifestyle provides nutrients for optimal brain function, stress management, and good sleep patterns.
Oxygen & Exercise
Exercise helps your body increase oxygen levels and lean muscle, helping reduce fat and improve performance while increasing your ability to fight stress, anxiety, and other illnesses.
Minimize Toxins
Harmful chemicals surround us every day in our lives – our program supports the body’s natural ability to cleanse itself, resulting in long-lasting positive effects.
What is a functional nutritional assessment?
Marked accumulation of organic acids in urine can signal a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, a toxic build-up, or a drug effect.
Enzymes that are responsible for metabolizing organic acids are vitamin and mineral-dependent. With this, elevations in organic acids can reflect a functional need for these nutrients on a cellular and biochemical level, even despite normal serum levels. Recommendations for nutrient supplementation based on elevated organic acid results are generated using a literature-based proprietary algorithm.
Traditionally, urinary organic acid assessment has been used in neonatal/pediatric medicine to identify genetic inborn errors of metabolism, with severity depending on the degree and type of error. In many cases of genetic inborn errors, the enzymatic defect may be compensated for by high doses of specific vitamin and mineral cofactors and/or dietary interventions. Intervention with higher-dose nutrient cofactors may also be effective in cases of decreased enzyme activity due to causes other than frank inborn errors.
Which patients might benefit from functional nutritional testing?
Several diseases are associated with an abnormal organic acid, amino acid, and fatty acid levels such as depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, neurocognitive decline, diabetes, cancer, anorexia, and many others.
