Anyone know about ION tests by Metametrix?

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

I've got a new DO who seems pretty good.

She's recommending that I do the ION profile tests, to get a snapshot

of my nutritional health. Its an expensive series of test & I'm

wondering if anyone has done this & it its worth it?

Thanks.

My doctor had me do the Amino Acid Assay from Metametrix. It showed

that I was only low in Arginine Luckily, my insurance covered the

test, so I didn't have any out-of-pocket costs. IMHO, the test didn't

tell me much. The ION test looks much more comprehensive.

HTH,
