Advanced Nutritional Testing: The NutrEval Plasma Panel

A comprehensive functional nutrition test for nutrient needs, energy, detox, methylation, oxidative stress, and metabolic health

If you are tired, inflamed, struggling with recovery, dealing with brain fog, or taking supplements without knowing what your body actually needs, NutrEval® Plasma helps move the conversation from guessing to data.

The NutrEval® Plasma Panel from Genova Diagnostics evaluates 125+ biomarkers across urine, blood, and buccal swab samples. It looks at functional nutrient needs, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, fatty acid balance, amino acid status, toxic element exposure, methylation patterns, and digestive support markers.

This NuGeneLabs test includes an interpretation summary to help you understand what your results mean and how they may guide a more personalized nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle plan.

Important Note

NutrEval® Plasma is a functional nutritional assessment. It is not a basic vitamin blood test, and it is not designed to diagnose a disease.

This test is best used to understand patterns in nutrient need, cellular energy, oxidative stress, fatty acid balance, toxic exposure, amino acids, methylation, and metabolic function. Results should be interpreted in context with symptoms, health history, medications, diet, and practitioner guidance.

Who It’s For

NutrEval® Plasma may be a strong fit for people who want deeper insight into:

• Fatigue, low energy, or poor stamina
• Brain fog, mood changes, or stress resilience
• Athletic performance and recovery
• Nutrient gaps despite eating well or taking supplements
• Mitochondrial and cellular energy patterns
• Oxidative stress and antioxidant needs
• Detoxification burden and toxic element exposure
• Fatty acid balance, including omega status
• Amino acid status and protein-related nutrition patterns
• Methylation support needs
• Maldigestion, malabsorption, or gut-related nutrient issues
• Personalized supplement planning instead of random protocols

This test is especially useful for customers who already take multiple supplements and want to know what is actually worth keeping, adjusting, or adding.

Who Should Get Guidance Before Ordering

NutrEval® Plasma is more advanced than a simple at-home test. Speak with your healthcare professional before ordering if you:

• Are pregnant
• Have kidney disease or abnormal kidney function
• Have uncontrolled diabetes
• Take multiple prescription medications
• Use chelation therapy or detox agents
• Are under age 2
• Cannot complete a blood draw
• Are located in New York
• Need urgent medical diagnosis or treatment

Certain medications, supplements, diet patterns, hydration, fasting status, and recent intense exercise may affect results. Follow the kit instructions carefully.

Why It Matters

Most supplement routines are built backward. People feel tired, stressed, inflamed, or off balance, then start adding vitamins, minerals, detox products, amino acids, or antioxidants without knowing what their body actually needs.

NutrEval® Plasma gives a more organized way to look at the problem. It does not just measure one vitamin level. It evaluates biochemical pathways, organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, oxidative stress, toxic elements, nutrient elements, and selected genetic markers.

The real value is not just the report. The value is the pattern: where your body may need support, where your current supplement routine may be missing the point, and where nutrition, lifestyle, or targeted supplementation may be more personalized.

How It Works

Looks at functional nutrient needs
NutrEval® Plasma evaluates whether your body may have increased need for antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other nutrients.

Evaluates cellular energy and mitochondria
Organic acid markers provide insight into carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, Kreb’s cycle patterns, and cellular energy production.

Assesses oxidative stress and antioxidant status
The panel includes oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxides and 8-OHdG, along with antioxidant markers such as glutathione and CoQ10.

Measures fatty acid balance
RBC fatty acid testing helps evaluate omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, trans fats, and the Omega-3 Index.

Reviews amino acid status through plasma
The Plasma version measures amino acids in blood, which can offer a steadier view of amino acid status than urine amino acids for certain clinical questions.

Includes toxic and nutrient elements
The test measures selected nutrient elements and toxic elements, including exposure markers such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.

Adds methylation and genetic context
The buccal swab component includes selected SNPs such as MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE, helping provide additional context for personalization

What the Test Looks At

Main testing areas include:

• Organic Acids: Markers related to cellular energy, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter metabolism, vitamin cofactors, detoxification, oxidative stress, oxalates, and gut-related dysbiosis patterns.
• Plasma Amino Acids: Essential and nonessential amino acids, intermediary metabolites, urea cycle markers, and amino acid patterns relevant to protein status and metabolic function.
• Oxidative Stress Markers: Includes markers such as glutathione, CoQ10, lipid peroxides, and 8-OHdG.
• Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids: RBC fatty acid markers, including omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, trans fats, fatty acid ratios, and Omega-3 Index.
• Nutrient Elements: Measures selected mineral markers such as copper, zinc, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and selenium.
• Toxic Elements: Evaluates selected toxic element exposure, including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.
• Selected SNPs: Buccal swab markers may include MTHFR, COMT, TNF-a, and APOE for additional personalization context.
• Nutrient Need Overview: Provides nutrition and supplement support guidance based on the test findings.

Important Note: NutrEval® Plasma is not a replacement for emergency care, primary medical evaluation, or disease diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context with symptoms, diet, medications, health history, and practitioner guidance.

How Ordering Works

After checkout, NuGeneLabs will coordinate your NutrEval® Plasma test and provide the next steps for collection, blood draw requirements, shipping, and results review.

Instructions are provided with the kit. Follow them carefully, including fasting, collection timing, sample handling, and shipping details.

Your test includes a NuGeneLabs interpretation summary to help you understand your results and turn the report into practical nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle next steps.
