Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential nutrient that is converted to Coenzyme A, another protein essential to the Krebs cycle and breaking down fatty acids. Measuring pantothenic acid can indicate how well the body can convert this marker into Coenzyme A.
Organic Acids (OAT) by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains)
Urine
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a comprehensive metabolic analysis of a patient's overall health, including intestinal yeast and bacteria, vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and oxalates.
Micronutrient Test by SpectraCell Laboratories
Whole Blood
The SpectraCell Micronutrient Test analyzes over 30 vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to determine nutritional deficiencies. It also analyzes the performance and functional deficiencies of these micronutrients. This test is not recommended for patients under 12 years of age.
Cellular Micronutrient Assay by Cell Science Systems
Whole Blood
The Cellular Micronutrient Assay measures the effect of micronutrients on a patient's immune function to identify nutrient insufficiencies. This test cannot be ordered for patients under 9 years of age.
Cellular Nutrition Assay by Cell Science Systems
Whole Blood
The Full Cellular Nutrition Assay combines the Cellular Micronutrient Assay and the Redox/Antioxidant Protection Assay to provide a personalized assessment of a patient's nutritional needs. This test cannot be ordered for patients under 16 years of age.
Myco-Metabolic Panel by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains)
Urine
The Myco-Metabolic Panel integrates the MycoTOX Profile with the Organic Acids Test (OAT). Assessing organic acids along with mycotoxins provides more insight into possible mold and mycotoxin exposure along with their potential effects on mitochondrial function, detoxification capacity, and nutrient status.
