OMX (Organic Metabolomics) by Diagnostic Solutions | Urine and Plasma

The OMX Organic Metabolomics test by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory assesses urine and plasma metabolites including organic acids and amino acids. It provides insight into the following areas of our health:

• Metabolic and macronutrient processing
• Nutritional and vitamin status
• Level and flow of amino acid
• Detoxification
• Mood issues
• Gut concerns
• Overall well-being
