The Amino Acid Analysis test measures the levels of different amino acids in the blood, which are molecules used for numerous processes in the body. This approach is typically used clinically to diagnose inborn (genetic) errors of metabolism, issues with various metabolic pathways due to the inherited malfunctioning of certain enzymes. However, it can be broadly used to characterized a number of bottlenecks in metabolism, caused by genes or the environment, that can result in any number of symptoms including fatigue and brain fog, poor gut health and a low metabolism.
 
Amino acids do way more than just build muscle. They’re:
 
◇ Intermediates in energy metabolism
◇ Neurotransmitters
◇ Intermediates in urea metabolism
◇ Products of the methylation process
◇ Energy substrates
 
And more.
 
Amino acids are often intermediates in the metabolism of energy and various biomolecules, and undergo their own metabolism. This approach is typically used clinically to diagnose inborn (genetic) errors of metabolism, issues with various metabolic pathways due to the inherited malfunctioning of certain enzymes. However, it can be broadly used to characterized a number of bottlenecks in metabolism, caused by genes or the environment, that can result in any number of symptoms including fatigue and brain fog, poor gut health and a low metabolism.
