Our computerized laboratory analysis can identify deficiencies and imbalances in your chemistry even if your laboratory results are "within normal limits." This analysis uses a standard chemistry screen (22 items) and a CBC (complete blood count).
Lab tests only $75
Lab tests plus computerized analysis $125

Dimethylglycine (DMG)

DMG appears to improve oxygenation on a cellular level through a process known as “methylation.” DMG “donates” its two methyl groups thereby acting as a cofactor to vitamins, fats, hormones and proteins in their metabolic cycles. DMG works quickly (usually in 30-60 minutes) and improves energy levels and stamina.

 

Hormone Levels $215

• Total and free Testosterone, FSH & LH to assess hormone function as you age.
