| Ammonia Overload Anyone? | |
Ammonia is not just a hazardous chemical, it's also a natural by-product of our biochemistry that is tightly regulated by the urea cycle. Do your patients have ammonia system overload? One way to check is looking at orotate, citrate, cis-aconitate, and isocitrate in the Organix Profile. Read more on ammonia in Dr. Elizabeth Redmond's blog. | |

| Toxicity is a Growing Concern and a Danger to Health Today... | And is Becoming a "Silent" Pandemic
 Toxicity exposure from environmental pollution, personal care products and more occurs on a daily basis, worldwide. The health effects from these "Everyday Exposures" can contribute to high amounts of toxic burden in the body. Toxic burden can lead to a variety of conditions, including increased cancer risk, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, to name a few. Metametrix offers tests in the Toxic Effects profile line to help assess this toxic burden.
