HPA 4 Amino Acid + Hormone Profile
Comprehensive Analysis of Amino Acids and Hormone Levels
Complete Metabolic and Hormonal Health Testing
The HPA 4 Amino Acid + Hormone Profile combines metabolic testing (urine) with a 24-hour saliva hormone test, plus a supply of custom day and night crèmes. This bundle saves you money compared to purchasing these tests individually. The profile provides a detailed view of your body’s stress response and inflammation regulation through the HPA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis.
What's Included in the HPA 4 Profile?
- Flowsheet: Reports neurotransmitter metabolic results and amino acid (AA) analysis.
- Hormone Report: Details sex and adrenal hormones from saliva collection.
- Custom Crèmes: Includes AM and PM crèmes, formulated with plant-derived hormone precursors, vitamins, minerals, and nootropics.
- Graph: Visual representation of your biochemical data.
Complete List of Markers Analyzed in the HPA 4 Profile
| Marker | Description |
|---|---|
| Cortisol (6 times) | Evaluates stress response and adrenal health at various times of the day. |
| DHEA-S (3 times) | Measures adrenal function and hormonal balance across different intervals. |
| Progesterone, Estradiol, Testosterone | Assesses reproductive hormones critical for overall hormonal health. |
| Creatinine | Indicates kidney function and urine concentration. |
| 5-HTP, Serotonin, Dopamine | Neurotransmitters that play a key role in mood, sleep, and cognitive functions. |
| Epinephrine, Norepinephrine | Measures the body's fight-or-flight response hormones. |
| Norepinephrine: Epinephrine Ratio | Assesses the balance between stress-response hormones. |
| GABA, Glutamic Acid | Evaluates neurotransmitter balance affecting sleep and stress responses. |
| Histamine, L-DOPA | Important for immune responses and dopamine synthesis. |
| Normetanephrine, Metanephrine, 3-Methoxytyramine | Metabolites that reflect catecholamine activity in the body. |
| Valine (VAL), Leucine (LEU), Isoleucine (ILE) | Essential branched-chain amino acids for muscle metabolism and energy. |
| Tryptophan (TRP), Tryptamine, Phenylalanine (PHE), Tyrosine (TYR), Histidine (HIS) | Aromatic amino acids crucial for neurotransmitter production and protein synthesis. |
| Methionine (MET), Threonine (THR), Lysine (LYS), Hydroxylysine, Phenethylamine (PEA) | Essential amino acids necessary for growth, tissue repair, and energy production. |
| Glutamine (GLN), Glutamic Acid (GLU), Asparagine (ASN), Aspartic Acid (ASP) | Non-essential amino acids involved in cellular energy production and detoxification. |
| Alanine (ALA), Proline (PRO), Arginine (ARG), Glycine (GLY), Cysteine (CYS) | Support metabolic processes, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defense. |
| Serine (SER), Homocysteine, Cystathionine, Hydroxyproline, Homoserine | Play roles in protein metabolism, detoxification, and cellular repair. |
| GABA, Beta Alanine (BALA), Histamine (HA), Carnosine (CAR) | Non-proteinogenic amino acids important for stress response and cell health. |
| Ornithine (ORN), Citrulline (CIT), Glutathione, Sarcosine | Involved in the urea cycle, detoxification, and antioxidant defense. |
Instructions for Sample Collection
Urine Collection: Collect a urine sample at 10 AM. Follow guidelines to ensure the accuracy of metabolic results.
Saliva Collection: Collect six saliva samples at specific times: 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, 8 PM, 12 AM, and 4 AM to measure hormone levels accurately.
Important Information
If you previously purchased a hair analysis without a pattern report, you can use this service to receive the generated pattern report. This report is required if you wish to consult with Eileen Durfee. Submit your most recent HTMA lab report (not older than three months) to contact@wellnessshoppingonline.com with "pattern report" in the subject line, and reference your order number.
Why Use the HPA 4 Profile?
This test provides a comprehensive assessment of your body's response to stress, hormone levels, and overall metabolic health. It's an essential tool for those looking to address imbalances, enhance anti-inflammatory responses, and optimize their well-being.
Important Considerations
Please note that custom crèmes ship separately and are non-returnable as they are made-to-order. Order cancellations are also not accepted once crèmes are created. Ensure that you adhere to all sample collection instructions for accurate results.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the HPA 4 Amino Acid + Hormone Profile?
The HPA 4 Profile is a comprehensive test that combines metabolic analysis via urine testing with a 24-hour saliva hormone assessment. It evaluates amino acid levels and hormone balances, providing insights into your body's stress response and inflammation regulation.
2. What does the test measure?
The test analyzes various markers, including cortisol, DHEA-S, reproductive hormones (progesterone, estradiol, testosterone), neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, GABA), and essential amino acids. It also assesses kidney function, adrenal health, and overall metabolic status.
3. How do I collect samples for the test?
For urine collection, you need to collect a sample at 10 AM. The saliva collection involves six samples taken at 8 AM, 12 PM, 4 PM, 8 PM, 12 AM, and 4 AM to ensure accurate hormone level readings.
4. Why should I take this test?
This test is ideal for individuals looking to evaluate their body's response to stress, identify hormonal imbalances, and improve overall metabolic health. It can help in optimizing well-being and addressing specific health concerns.
5. What is included in the HPA 4 Profile?
The profile includes a flowsheet with neurotransmitter and amino acid analysis, a detailed hormone report, and a visual graph of your biochemical data. You also receive custom AM and PM crèmes made with plant-derived hormone precursors.
6. How are the results reported?
Results will be provided in a comprehensive report that includes detailed explanations of each marker analyzed and their implications for your health. You will also receive recommendations based on your results.
7. How does this test help with stress management?
By evaluating your levels of stress hormones like cortisol and catecholamines, the HPA 4 Profile helps identify how your body responds to stress. Understanding these dynamics can guide personalized strategies for stress reduction and overall well-being.
8. How do the custom crèmes work?
The custom AM and PM crèmes are formulated to support hormonal balance and overall metabolic health using plant-derived hormonal precursors, vitamins, and minerals. They are designed to enhance your body's natural functions in conjunction with the test results.
