Tests Pinpoint Nutritional Status

Genova Diagnostics, Asheville, NC, has developed two new standard-setting tests designed to help physicians and patients establish a personalized nutritional and supplement plan that will optimize a patient’s health. The Nutr­Eval test was designed to more effectively determine an individual’s overall nutritional status and better understand a patient’s disease risk. With this information, physicians can regulate or treat conditions ranging from chronic fatigue and depression to learning disabilities and immune problems with targeted nutritional intervention. Genova’s The ONE: Optimal Nutrition Evaluation, a more basic nutrition assessment, was developed to help physicians understand a patient’s individual nutritional needs and assesses the patient’s individual functional need for vitamins and minerals. The ONE also provides doctors with individualized recommendations for supplementation.
