Lab Functional Urine Panel

Urine Indican Test

The Urine Indican Test measures the level of indican in urine  a marker used to assess the balance of gut microbiota. Elevated indican levels suggest an imbalance of intestinal bacteria, which may stem from

• A diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugars.
• Poor digestion or nutrient malabsorption.
• Frequent use of antibiotics.
• Excessive alcohol consumption.

When indican levels are high, it may indicate gut dysbiosis, which can affect your overall health, energy, immunity, and skin.

Who Should Take the Urine Indican Test?

This test is highly recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Frequent bloating, gas, or indigestion.
• Dull skin or persistent acne.
• Chronic fatigue or brain fog.
• Weakened immune system.
• Irregular bowel movements or abnormal stools.
• Food sensitivities or intolerance.

What Can the Test Reveal?

Elevated indican levels in the urine may in-dicate:

• Poor protein digestion.
• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
• Leaky Gut Syndrome.
• Malabsorption of nutrients.
• Chronic gut inflammation or long-term constipation.

Urine Kryptopyrroles

The Kryptopyrroles (Pyrrole) Urine Test, also known as the Mauve Factor Test, measures levels of HPL—a neurotoxic compound often elevated in individuals with autism, ADHD, alcoholism, schizophrenia, aggressive behavior, and other mental health conditions. Elevated kryptopyrroles are linked to deficiencies in vitamin B6 and zinc. Supplementing these nutrients can help reduce symptoms and lower HPL levels in the urine.

Who is it suitable for?

• People with ADHD
• People with mood swings, anxiety
• Restlessness, anger, bad temper
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• People with depression
• People with schizophrenia
• People with insomnia

benefit

• Helps in the diagnosis of Pyrrole Disorder
• It helps in planning treatment by detecting high Kryptopyrrole levels. This test allows health care professionals to determine the appropriate amount of vitamin B6, zinc, and other nutrients.
• Follow-up testing can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment, with effective treatment resulting in a decrease in Kryptopyrrole levels.
• The test results can help design a personalized treatment plan to suit each individual’s needs.

Urine Organic Profile: A Comprehensive Health Indicator

What Is Urine Organic Profile Testing?

The Urine Organic Profile test is a vital diagnostic tool that analyzes organic acids in urine to assess the functioning of various bodily systems. This test can reveal whether your metabolism is functioning correctly by measuring the levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. It also evaluates how effectively your body metabolizes nutrients to produce energy, the balance of neurotransmitters, your body’s detoxification efficiency, the balance of gut microbiota, and the extent of damage caused by free radicals. As a comprehensive assessment, it helps identify what your body needs or lacks, enabling targeted health interventions.

Who Should Consider the Urine Organic Profile Test?
