The NutrEval Profile is Genova’s most comprehensive nutritional assessment providing a framework of core nutrients in the areas of antioxidants, B-vitamins, digestive supports, essential fatty acids, and minerals. This functional evaluation is aimed at assessing nutrient insufficiencies and biochemical individuality. In the Medical Affairs department, we are privileged to speak with clinicians every day to interpret test findings in clinical context, answer general questions about testing, and dive into the latest literature to expand our understanding too. On today’s episode, we address the top 5 most frequently asked questions about the NutrEval. Although we are focusing on the NutrEval, these questions and answers can also apply to our other nutritional testing as well. Today on The Lab Report: 3:40 Do I need to stop supplements to perform testing? If so, for how long? 7:30 How does urinary creatinine affect findings? 11:00 What do the neurotransmitter metabolites tell us about the brain? 15:00 How do I interpret a NutrEval report that is released in two parts? 17:25 If the direct RBC magnesium result is normal, how is there still a magnesium recommendation on the nutrient recommendation page? – Similarly, if my serum B12 level is normal, why are there recommendations for more on the NutrEval?
