Adrenal Stress Index Panel

This comprehensive panel is ideal for patients under chronic stress with known or suspected endocrine abnormalities. This panel includes tests that have been added to measure glycemic control, immune status, and gluten sensitivity.

Bone Health Panel

​Bone metabolism involves a continuous process of simultaneous deposition and breakdown. By providing measurements of six key hormones in saliva, as well as the bone metabolism marker Pyrilinks-D in urine, the Bone Health Panel can help to evaluate and monitor patients at risk of developing osteoporosis. 

​Cycling Female Hormone Panel

The Female Hormone Panel is a dynamic mapping of estradiol and progesterone throughout one menstrual cycle. This panel also includes cycle averages for testosterone and DHEA & DHEA-S. Saliva samples are collected every 2-3 days over the monthly cycle. The expanded version of this panel also includes seven FSH and LH measurements around the time of ovulation without the need for additional collections. Both the Female Hormone Panel and Expanded Female Hormone Panel provide valuable information on the dynamics of a woman’s cycle at any age during the cycling years.

Peri and Post Menopause Hormone Panels

The PeriM/PostM Panels, and their expanded versions, provide measurements of six key hormones: progesterone, estradiol, estrone, estriol, testosterone, and DHEA & DHEA-S. The expanded panels also measure FSH and LH. 

Male Hormone Panel

Many men experience an age-related decline in testosterone, frequently referred to as andropause. This panel assesses testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, progesterone, DHEA & DHEA-S, androstenedione, and estrogens. The expanded version of this panel also measures FSH and LH.

Food Panel

​Immune-mediated food sensitivities often present clinically as gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, and skin manifestations. In other cases, these reactions are clinically silent, although their long term effects can still be significant.

Gastrointestinal Health Panels

The prevalence of gastrointestinal complaints in general practice is significant. Screening for many common GI issues can be achieved using the Gastrointestinal Health Panel. This is a 15- or 22-parameter analysis that non-invasively evaluates gastrointestinal function and health status using both stool and saliva specimens.

Omega-3 Index (Basic or Plus)

The Omega-3 Index is a simple blood test that measures the levels of two important omega-3 fats—EPA and DHA—in your red blood cells. These healthy fats, found mainly in fatty fish like salmon and sardines, play an important role in heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. Research shows that an Omega-3 Index between 8–12% is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions, while most people in Western countries fall around 4–5%. If your level is low, it can usually be improved by eating more omega-3–rich fish or taking a high-quality fish oil or algae-based supplement regularly.

Hair Analysis

Analytical Research Labs offers a hair tissue mineral analysis, which is a screening test for evaluating the levels of 20 minerals and toxic metals in a hair sample. This analysis provides essential information related to nutrition and mineral ratios specific to an individual's current state of health. ARL is a reputable authority in the field of hair tissue mineral analysis, known for its experience and expertise in this area. The analysis is conducted by analyzing a sample of hair, making it a non-invasive and informative way to assess mineral imbalances and toxic metal exposure. ARL is one of only two laboratories that do not wash the hair at the laboratory. Washing hair samples at the laboratory has been shown to erratically wash out the water-soluble elements. This creates much less accurate results. In a 2001 study in the Journal of the AMA (Seidel, S. et al., Assessment of Commercial Laboratories Performing Hair Mineral Analysis, JAMA, 285(1) Jan 3:67-72.) the two laboratories that did not wash the hair, of which we were one, showed superb reliability.
