| Amino Acid Profiles |
 The Body's Building Blocks of Proteins
Metametrix has tested amino acids for over 25 years. Amino acid testing is ideal in individuals with conditions such as chronic stress, depression, poor digestive function, or if low protein diets are consumed. A variety of specimen collection types are available including plasma, urine, and the easy-to-use blood spot. The profiles have been updated with a rearranged analyte listing on sample reports and include new ratios. The Metametrix Institute has written an article discussing the importance of sulfer amino acids in our diets - read more below!

| Metametrix Introduces PrePay Advantage |
 A Courtesy Insurance Filing Program
Metametrix is excited to announce a new courtesy insurance filing program for all prepaid test submissions. Metametrix will now submit insurance claims as a courtesy for patients that include full payment at the "Patient Prepay" price with specimen submission.
Prepay insurance billing is a value-added service with benefits to both the clinician and patient:
- Reducing pricing, billing, and collections confusion
- Any testing services provided by Metametrix can be submitted
- Since patients are prepaying, they are not liable for any additional charges regardless of the amount covered by insurance
- Faster insurance reimbursements paid by the insurance company directly to the patient
