Test your
Serine
Looking for an easy way to test and monitor your Serine?
It's included in the HealthieOne Complete test.
Serine
Explanation: Serine is a non-essential amino acid, which the human body can produce naturally, and also obtain from protein-rich foods like meat, fish, eggs, soy, dairy, and nuts. It plays a major role in many important processes, such as making proteins, DNA, and cell membranes. Serine also helps the brain and nervous system work properly and supports the production of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain).
Test purpose:
- Evaluate neurological health: Low levels of serine can indicate rare genetic conditions where the body cannot produce or use serine properly, which can cause seizures, developmental delays, and cognitive issues.
- Monitor amino acid balance: Abnormal serine levels can indicate issues with amino acid metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, or protein malnutrition.
