The test result is simple to understand and shows if you are above, below or within certain reference ranges. If there is anything you do not understand and unsure of in your test result then please contact mindovermetal by replying via the results email.
- Result turnaround time - The time frame for receiving your test result is 10 - 14 working days from the first day of processing.

Description from Biolab
This test assesses metabolism of the essential amino acid methionine (Met). Methionine is paramount in two metabolic processes; transmethylation that is critical for the methylation of hundreds of important molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, neurotransmitters and membrane phosphatidylcholine, and transsulfurration that leads to the biosynthesis of cysteine and hence glutathione, both of which have many important protective/detoxification functions. Aberrant Met metabolism can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, exposures to environmental toxicants and/or genetic polymorphisms and can have significant adverse health consequences. Identification of such abnormalities can guide appropriate nutritional intervention towards normalization of methionine metabolism and decreased risk and incidence of adverse health effects.
The amino acids and intermediary amino acid metabolites were measured by liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry. Reference values are age and sex specific. If patient values deviate from normal, comprehensive descriptive paragraphs will be presented as part of the test report.
