It depends on the company, but I think most would have it. There should be a list somewhere of which amino acids the test reports on. It's also a pretty common part of blood work that even a normal doctor would order.will homosysteine come up in a aminoacids test?
It looks like the DDI (Doctor's Data Inc) measures actual levels of things in the blood relating to the central methylation process. It would show actual problems, and combined with the genetic data might give a better idea of where problems are (or aren't) originating.thanks - do you or anyone know how the Methylation Panel by DDI differs from the 23andme one? I was asked to do either one.
So trial-and-error of methylation treatments with genes to guide you a bit might be more feasibleThanks V - yes it is much more expensive - $495 for the Meth Panelcompared to $99 for the 23andme.
Well, you could just try treating the things that would come up with an actual blood test, and see if the treatment works. In this case, it might be a lot cheaper than testing then supplementing But if you want test it and can afford to, then might as well.Valentijn
I think so, but there again in the grand scheme of things given what I've spent on doc, treatments etc and of course my great age should I just try to gain every bit of info I can to help the doctors work out what is wrong so I can maybe enjoy a bit of life?
