This screen consists of the Metabolic Analysis Profile - Urine Organic Acids and Adrenal Stress Index (ASI). Assessing the underlying metabolic and adrenal function together can provide valuable information to assist the Practitioner in treating this complex condition. The ASI measures the adrenocortical hormones cortisol and DHEA, which directly influence energy levles, emotions and even disease resistance. The Metabolic Analysis Profile measures metabolic intermediates of central energy production, methylation, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown and intestinal microbial activity.
