Metabolic Testing (Urine) + Hormone Test 24 Hour Saliva

The Metabolic Testing (Urine) examines metabolic capabilities as they relate to the HPA Stress Response System. This profile can help identify methylation status and specify appropriate forms of supplementation, including B vitamins, inhibitory (calming) or excitatory (stimulating) amino acids, and appropriate detoxification support. Consider saving money by purchasing the HPA 4 Amino Acid + Hormone Profile. This bundle includes both the Metabolic Testing (Urine), as well as your first supply of the Custom Day Crème and Custom Night Crème!

All kinds of stress, whether emotional or physical, activate a wide array of behavioral and physiological responses that are collectively referred to as the HPA Stress Response System. A balanced HPA System has a profound anti-inflammatory effect on the body as it decreases proinflammatory cytokines production. An imbalanced response (maladaptive response) triggers (activates) the Inflammatory System, downregulating the Regulatory Systems by upsetting the feedback systems in the HPA. This means that as the Stress Response System is diminished, inflammation and the variety of symptoms that accompany it will increase.

This profile comes with two customized crèmes: one for the morning and one for the nightIf used 2x/day, the day crème will last for 30 days. If used 1x/day, the night crème will last for 55 days. People who have chronic sleep interruptions may want to use the PM crème 2x/night, making it last 30 days. Ingredients found in the crèmes can include plant derived hormone precursors, herbs, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and nootropics.
