Amino Acid Profile (Urine)
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, but many people never learn that they fuel cellular energy production, they are converted into neurotransmitters, and they are vital for healthy detoxification. Precision Point Diagnostics’ comprehensive Amino Acid Profile measures 43 amino acids including the essential amino acids, such as tryptophan, methionine, and lysine.

Antibiotics will not affect the test, but better to finish a course of antibiotics first to see how it alters LPS response. If patient is on long term on-going antibiotics, can be done at same time, but expect that LPS immune response would be higher if not on antibiotics

Laboratory regulations require that all of our Tests be ordered by a Healthcare Provider. If you are interested in finding a physician in your area that offers our testing please reach out to Info@PrecisionPointDiagnostics.com
As a CLIA certified laboratory, we are required to work with healthcare providers that are licensed and authorized by their states to order and interpret diagnostic medical testing.
Yes we can! We will ship to any patient within the USA at no additional charge. You can dropship a kit directly through our portal. If your patient resides outside the USA, shipping charges to the patient will apply. You will need to contact us for estimated shipping charges.
Turnaround times will vary depending on what test has been ordered by the physician. You can generally expect them between 7-10 Business days but upon occasion it may be longer.
Every lab is required to develop its own reference ranges. For this reason, you should not expect ranges to be the same from lab to lab. At Precision, we look at the values over the hundreds of thousands of specimens we have run and then look at distributions. In general, the top 5% is determined high, and then the next 25% is moderate, and then the next 25% is lower. However, when there is epidemiologic evidence that the population, in general, has more difficulty with a food, such as wheat or dairy, we will consider % reactivity in populations in general, and consider research and data, alongside our distributions to create a range.
Each state has different regulations which govern the scope of practice for the practitioner. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to work within the rules and guidelines of the state. You may check with your state board of health for clarification about the specific restrictions that your state may have with regard to laboratory testing. Precision Point Diagnostics accepts authorization from Medical Doctors (MD), Osteopathic Doctors (DO), Chiropractors (DC), Naturopathic Doctors (ND), Doctors of Philosophy in Psychology, Biochemistry, Toxicology, and Nursing (PhD), Doctors of Oriental Medicine (DOM), Licensed Acupuncturist (Lac), Physicians Assistants (PA), Nurse Practitioners (ARNP), Nurse Midwives (CNM), Certified Nutritionists (CCN), and Registered Dietitians (RD). All ordering Health Professionals must have an NPI Number to participate in our testing services.
Precision Point does not accept business from New York State. We do accept all other states as well as international business. For more information on International ordering contact international@PrecisionPointDiagnostics.com
