Clinical value
When properly sustained, nutrition and metabolic functions assist in developing an efficient body and subsequent mind. Therefore data from amino acid testing is important as will reveal general and specific patterns of elevated and decreased amino acid concentrations, allowing you to prescribe the right plan for your patient.
Whereas, fatty acid imbalances can be a causative factor in a variety of chronic health conditions. It is critical to assess the balance between essential Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids, so you can provide the right indications for fatty acid supplementation and/or dietary modification to your patients.
