30 nutritional biomarkers
Our Nutritional Profile combines a full panel of essential micronutrients and actionable personalized
recommendations to help you maintain optimal levels for each micronutrient. This test includes panels
from all four classes of essential micronutrients, namely vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids.
Results for over 30 micronutrients including vitamins D, A, B1, B5, magnesium, selenium, zinc, copper,
omega-3, and a panel of amino acids including lysine and tryptophan are provided with recommendations
for determining and correcting any potential deficiencies.
Selenium
Hair, skin and nails Immunity Thyroid
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, meaning it protects cells from oxidative damage. It participates in the function of thyroid gland and in the normal functioning of the immune system.
Signs of deficiency
Thin and brittle hair, muscle weakness
Recommended food
Brazil nuts, fish and seafood, organ meat
Zinc
Immunity Hair, skin and nails Libido and fertility
Your body needs zinc for the formation of proteins and DNA production (the substance that makes up your genes), the immune system function (e.g. wound healing, fighting off bacteria and viruses) and skin health
Signs of deficiency
Hair loss, poor wound healing
Recommended food
Shellfish and seafood, red meat, poultry
Magnesium
Muscle contractions Stress Bone health
Magnesium is implicated in several functions and in hundreds of metabolic processes, including muscle contractions, regulation of blood pressure, and transmission of nerve signals. It is also needed for the secretion of parathyroid hormone, which helps control the levels of calcium in the blood.
Signs of deficiency
Muscular cramps, muscular weakness
Recommended food
Fish and seafood, soy products, nuts, banana, dried fruits
Copper Cu
Immunity Hair, skin and nails Antioxidant
Copper is a trace mineral implicated in the activation of the immune system and in the formation of red blood cells, healthy bones and teeth. It also participates in the production of pigment in skin, hair and eyes.
Signs of deficiency
Lightened patches of skin, loss of balance and coordination, increased risk of infection
Recommended food
Organ meat and meat, seafood, nuts and seeds, whole-grains, legumes
Vitamin D
Immunity Tooth & bone health Stress
Vitamin D helps maintaining bone growth and the health of bones, teeth, and cartilage. It also plays a crucial role in helping the immune system to function appropriately.
Signs of deficiency
Muscle weakness, bone and back pain
Recommended food
Fatty fishes, organ meat, egg yolks, dairy products
Vitamin B1
Muscles Heart Blood pressure
Vitamin B1 enables the body to turn food into usable energy and helps to maintain proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and the nervous and digestive systems. Since it is not stored in the body, it is important to get enough of it from food.
Signs of deficiency
Fatigue, irritability, muscle weakness
Recommended food
Meat, seeds, nuts, fish, whole grains
Vitamin E
Hair skin and nails Cognition Antioxidant
Vitamin E participates in making red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body and is needed to keep blood from clotting within blood vessels. It also has antioxidant properties and plays a role in maintaining optimal immune function and in the interaction between cells.
Signs of deficiency
Loss of body movement control, muscle weakness, and vision problems
Recommended food
Vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, whole-grains, green vegetables
Tryptophan/ Trp
Sleep Mood
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid involved in the formation of protein and neurotransmitters, such as serotonin - a neurotransmitter that regulates appetite, sleep, and mood. Tryptophan is also needed for the formation of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and that has antioxidant properties.
Signs of deficiency
Problems falling asleep, insomnia, anxiety disorders, depression
Recommended food
Soybeans and soy products (e.g. tofu, tempeh), seafood, fish, poultry
Amino acids
Amino acids are the components of proteins. There are 20 of them and 9 of them are said to be essential, i.e. the body is not able to manufacture them. It is therefore important to ensure sufficient intake through the diet. Amino acids are involved in muscle development, skin, hair and nail renewal, hormone and antibody production, and the transmission of nerve messages.
Fatty acids
Fatty acids are the components of fats. There are several families of fatty acids, all playing important roles: source of energy, brain development, proper functioning of the heart and immune system, composition of cell membranes, participation in the formation of hormones, etc.
Vitamins
Vitamins are essential because the body cannot produce them (with a few exceptions). They do not provide energy but are involved in many processes in the body, such as the formation of red blood cells (blood), the proper functioning of the heart, muscles, nervous and digestive systems. They also play a role in making DNA (the molecule that makes up our genes) and protecting our cells. Our body has limited reserves for some vitamins and in certain situations (stress, overwork, intensive sports, illness, etc.), our needs are increased.
Minerals
Minerals do not provide energy to the body but fulfill essential functions, such as development and renewal of our skeleton, muscle and heart contraction, exchanges between cells, formation of proteins (e.g. for healing, immunity, oxygen transport in the body), transmission of nerve impulses, maintenance of acid-base balance, etc. Some minerals, known as trace elements, are only needed in very small quantities but are no less essential.
Hormones
Hormones are chemical messengers manufactured by the body that are important for health but also for supporting athletic performance. They play an important role in the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat) and influence the production of certain proteins, such as proteins for building muscle.
Simple at-home collection
Once you receive the kit, follow the instructions contained within to collect the 4 drops of blood from the comfort of your home.
A quick and simple test . . .
We imagine a world where everyone has access to affordable blood
testing, allowing them to take control of their health through actions
destined to improve or maintain it based off of understandable and
personalized information.
Actionable and personalized results
Simple Graphs
Your Levels
Your level for each included biomarker is presented in an easy-to-read graph, with your individual level marked in blue, and the recommended high and low limits (reference ranges) marked in green. An optimal level, within the reference ranges, lies between the two limits.
Key Information
The biomarker
The main roles of each biomarker measured are presented, underlining the importance of the biomarker in the proper functioning of your body. The information is practical and scientific, so as to give you a complete understanding.
Clear Recommendations
What to do
Once you have taken stock of your levels, how can you rectify them if necessary? Each biomarker is accompanied by personalized nutritional recommendations explaining how to reach a level within the reference values and how to maintain it.
