ION test

The ION® (Individual Optimal Nutrition) is a combination of nutritional tests that measure levels vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and organic, fatty and amino acids. Using the combination of nutritional testing profiles, the ION® offers a complete evaluation of nutritional functions that impact patients' mental and physical well-being. Over time, functional nutritional deficiencies can result in a variety of chronic health conditions. The ION® nutritional testing profile can help determine the basis for these conditions.

Organic Acid Test

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers.  It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors. Other markers: Fatty acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, B-complex vitamin markers, methylation co-factor markers, neurotransmitter metabolism markers, oxidative damage and antioxidant markers, toxicants and detoxification.

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) test

SIBO is a serious condition affecting the small intestine. It occurs when bacteria that normally grow in other parts of the gut start growing in the small intestine. Symptoms may include: bloating, constipation or diarrhea, feeling of fullness, gas, and digestive discomfort, distended abdomen, and weight loss. SIBO leads to poor nutrient absorption and can cause other issues.
