Amino Acids FMV - Doctor's Data Test Kit
The Amino Acids FMV - Doctor's Data Test Kit helps determine whether you have enough protein in your diet and whether your amino acids are balanced by using a single urine sample collected upon waking. It also checks for problems with your stomach, vitamin and mineral shortages, and issues with your kidneys and liver. This test gives more details about amino acid problems than a blood test.
Preparation:
Ship to lab Monday-Thursday only. 48 hours prior to the specimen collection discontinue taking non-essential medications and dietary supplements. Check with physician before stopping medications. Please read patient instructions very carefully prior to beginning the test.
Test Results:
5-7 business days once the lab receives the specimen. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
What is the purpose of this test?
The Amino Acids FMV Urine Test Kit from Doctor's Data helps healthcare providers understand how effectively a person's body is breaking down and utilizing amino acids. This test uses urine collected from the first morning void to analyze the levels of various amino acids, providing insights into potential nutritional deficiencies or issues related to amino acid metabolism.
Amino acids play a crucial role in the body's growth, tissue repair, and energy production. By examining the amino acid levels in the urine, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into a person's overall health and identify any imbalances that may be contributing to health problems. The test results enable healthcare providers to develop personalized nutritional plans tailored to support the individual's natural bodily processes and improve their overall health.
