Metabolism – The Indicator to Your Health
Metabolism is the set of chemical transformations at the cellular level of organisms, allows organisms to grow, reproduce, repair, and respond to their environments.
Organic acids are compounds produced within the body during metabolism when different organic acids are synthesized and broken down.
Are those symptoms the sign of poor metabolism?
Fatigue
Joint pain

Early aging
Nausea
Gas & Bloating
Reflux

Weight gain
Mood changes
Depression
Anxiety
Stress
Sleep abnormalities
Blood sugar dysregulation
Autoimmune disorders

Multiple chemical sensitivity
Why does the test use urine as sample?
A first morning urine sample is required to profile the organic acid levels.
Many organic acids (and the metabolites) occur in detectable amounts only in urine.
Moreover, the first morning specimen usually contains a higher level of analytes, and midstream specimen can avoid the incidence of cellular and microbial contamination, thus we request first morning midstream urine as the sampling specimen.
Liquid urine sample is stable at room temperature(20-25℃) for 12 days.

User Testimonials
Anti-aging
Functional Medicine Practitioner, Central, Hong Kong
“The test gives an overview of several major systems and an analysis of nutritional deficiencies in the body. Many of my patients found it very convenient to collect the urine sample from HK BioTek. The result provides the most useful data for actionable follow ups for my patients and my anti-aging and functional medicine practice.”
More energy and better concentration
Amanda, Hong Kong
“I watched my diet and workout regularly but somehow my fatigue has never gone away. At the very beginning, I thought it is just the thing for people in their 40s. After referred by a close friend and got tested, I know my problem may come from the way my body makes energy! Followed the health supplements plan listed on the report for 2 months, I feel much better – more energy and better concentration during the day, sleep better plus I have lose some weight! This is because the report has pointed out if I am lacking key nutrients that turn fat into energy.”
Improved Digestion
Ms Yang, Shenzhen
“I did this test with an Environmental Pollutant test. I spend most of my time in China and I do have concerns how my body is ‘polluted’ by the environment, and want to do something before it is too late. Plus I am struggling with my weight and digestive system. So I want to see if there is any underlying cause for these problem. After the test and followed the instruction on the report to detox and supplement what is lacking, I feel the symptoms improve a lot.”
Ezcema
Edward, Trainer, Hong Kong
