Ordering the NutrEval | Europe
The NutrEval | Europe is a comprehensive lab test from Genova Diagnostics that checks for nutrient imbalances, metabolic function, and markers related to digestion, detoxification, and oxidative stress. This test can help identify specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies, fatty acid imbalances, and amino acid levels that may be linked to symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, digestive discomfort, and skin or hair issues. Interestingly, this test also measures oxalate markers, which can be connected to both kidney stone risk and unexplained muscle pain.
Ordering the NutrEval | Europe provides a detailed look at your body’s nutritional and metabolic status. When you order this test, you can expect these specific benefits:
- Pinpoints vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may be causing symptoms like tiredness, headaches, or brittle nails
- Assesses antioxidant levels, including glutathione and coenzyme Q10, to support immune function and reduce inflammation
- Evaluates digestive markers to help address bloating, food sensitivities, and nutrient absorption problems
- Identifies imbalances in fatty acids that can affect skin, hair, and joint health
- Measures neurotransmitter metabolites, which can be linked to mood swings, anxiety, and sleep disturbances
Who Should Consider Comprehensive Nutritional and Metabolic Testing
People who have ongoing tiredness, mood changes, or digestive discomfort that hasn’t improved with basic changes may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has tried different diets and supplements but still feels run down, has trouble concentrating, or notices changes in their skin or hair might find answers through this type of testing.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Frequent headaches or migraines that don’t respond to common treatments
- Unexplained weight changes despite regular exercise and balanced meals
- Muscle weakness or joint pain that limits daily movement
- Recurring skin problems, such as rashes or acne, that haven’t improved with topical treatments
- People who have a family history of kidney stones, as oxalate markers can reveal hidden risks
This test is recommended for those who want to identify specific nutrient gaps, metabolic blocks, or digestive issues that may be affecting energy, mood, or physical comfort. Delaying this test could mean missing the chance to address nutrient imbalances early, which may allow symptoms to persist or worsen over time. To move forward, order the test to get a clear picture of your nutritional and metabolic status.
How to Prepare for Advanced Nutrient and Metabolic Screening
Overnight fasting is required for this test, typically for 8-12 hours before your blood and urine samples are collected. Make sure to carefully follow any instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare practitioner, as these steps help ensure your results reflect your true nutritional and metabolic status.

| Antioxidants glutathione (whole blood) | > 800 | Glutathione is a key antioxidant that protects your cells from damage. It supports immune function and detoxification. | High levels mean strong antioxidant protection.
Low levels mean increased risk for cell damage and poor detoxification. |
| Coenzyme Q10 (serum) | 0.5 – 2.5 | CoQ10 helps your cells make energy and acts as an antioxidant. It is important for heart and muscle function. | High levels mean possible over-supplementation.
Low levels mean reduced energy production and antioxidant support. |
| Oxidative damage markers lipid peroxides | < 1.0 | These markers show if your cells are being damaged by free radicals. High levels can be linked to inflammation and chronic symptoms. | High levels mean increased cell damage and inflammation.
Low levels mean low oxidative stress. |
| 8-OHdG (urine) | < 5.0 | 8-OHdG is a marker of DNA damage from oxidative stress. It can be linked to aging and chronic disease risk. | High levels mean increased DNA damage.
Low levels mean low DNA oxidative stress. |
| Metabolic Analysis Profile | |||
| Metabolic Analysis Profile | Within lab-specific range | This profile checks how your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It helps spot metabolic blocks that can cause tiredness or weight changes. | High levels mean possible metabolic imbalance.
Low levels mean normal metabolism. |
