What can the OMx Urine Test tell you?
Depending on the test panel, results may provide information about metabolic processes such as:
nutrient utilisation
energy metabolism
amino acid metabolism
other metabolic pathways covered by the test
Why do it?
Metabolites provide information about what is happening in the body at a biochemical level. Looking at these patterns can add context to your nutrition and lifestyle profile and highlight areas that may warrant further attention.
Who may benefit?
This may be relevant if you:
want to explore your metabolic profile beyond conventional measurements
are interested in how nutrition and lifestyle relate to metabolic processes
want additional information to support conversations about nutrition and well-being
What to expect
A urine sample is collected for laboratory analysis. You will receive preparation instructions before your test.
