Overview
Much like a human fingerprint, metabolism is inherently unique to everyone. Understanding how the major hormones of the body are metabolized as well as the activity of the enzymes responsible for metabolism is a rare glimpse into a patient’s health.
HuMap™ is non-invasive test that requires only 4 or 5 separate urine collections. Because the breakdown of hormones relies so heavily on processes within the liver, this test can also elucidate areas of interest as it pertains to conjugation of each metabolite. Additionally, testing urinary hormone metabolites can contribute to further understanding of endogenous hormone secretion, supplemental hormone utilization, enzyme activity, oxidative stress, and insight into how your body metabolizes hormones.
