Collectively, regardless of disease status, this cohort of children from a konzo-affected region show signs of protein malnourishment, harbor measures of mitochondrial distress, and deficiencies in a key sulfur-containing amino acid (Cystine)
Whats measured: Organic acids : Reveal issues in energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter balance, B vitamin status, antioxidant needs, and digestive health Vitamins and minerals: Vitamin D, activated B12, serum folate, zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, chromium, and iodine as well as other micronutrient markers Toxic heavy metals: Lead, mercury, cadmium, nickel, arsenic Oxidative stress markers: Indicators linked to DNA damage Cardiovascular health markers: Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL sub-fractions, CRP, homocysteine, lipoprotein (a), iron studies, and fibrinogen Blood sugar regulation markers: Fasting glucose and insulin Hormone health markers: Insulin, DHEA, oestrogen, testosterone, SHBG, prolactin, FSH, and luteinising hormone Thyroid panel: TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, thyroid auto-antibodies Essential fats ratios : Omega 3, 6, and 9 in relation to saturated and trans fats Amino acids profile: Evaluates how effectively your body processes protein for immune health, muscle repair, and neurotransmitter production With this level of insight, your functional medicine practitioner can create a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to optimise your health and address potential problems before they progress
