Functional Medicine Test

It is a test that helps health management from the fundamental part after finding the causative factor that may cause disease.
This test looks at all parts of the body in an integrated way and helps to manage it in a customized type according to the individual's current condition.

Organic acid test: Organic acids are major substances produced in various metabolic processes (nutrients, vitamins, energy generation, detoxification, neurotransmitters and bacterial metabolism). When metabolic processes are blocked due to a lack of substances(vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants) involved in metabolic processes, intermediate metabolites are accumulated and energy metabolism is not performed smoothly, causing various symptoms such as chronic fatigue. Metabolic status is checked through an organic acid test and customized management(diet, health functional food recommendation, customized nutritional injection therapy) is performed based on the result.

Subjects of the test

If you are tired even though there is no abnormality in other tests
if you are not refreshed even after sleeping
if you are not losing any weight even though you are controling your diet
if you have atopy, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, insomnia
poor blood circulation or cold hands and feet

02 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Intestinal microbial test(intestinal immunity): It analyzes 3.3 million intestinal microbial genes through feces. The risk of inflammation is assessed by checking the balance between beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria in the intestine and diversity of intestinal microbes. We predict the risk of disease(cardiovascular disease, brain disease, autoimmune disease, type-2 diabetes, obesity etc.) and recommend a personalized diet and customized lactobacilli.

Subjects of the test

Unbalanced lifestyle(Westernized diet, lack of exercise, excessive stress)
irregular movements of bowel(diarrhea, constipation)
when taking drugs

03 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

DNA test: DNA is taken from blood or saliva, sequenced and then assessed for generic risk of disease. By providing information about the risk of disease through genetic testing, we prevent disease occurrence and provide customized management(health functional foods, cosmetics, exercise methods, diet) according to your genetic characteristics.

04 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Mineral - heavy metal test(hair): This is a test to check the status of nutrition accumulated over a long period of time by collecting hair. Heavy metals(mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, cesium etc.) are evenly distributed in the living environment(soil, food, water, air) and are easily accumulated in the body. In addition, it may cause metabolic disorders, nerve damage, cancer, developmental delay , neurological symptom etc. On the other hand, insufficient-excessive mineral intake causes problems with energy metabolism.

Subjects of the test

chronic fatigue
chronic headache
joint pain
hair loss, skin disease, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, anxiety, depression

Active oxygen - antioxidant status test

Understanding free radicals, the cause of disease and aging, and antioxidant power,
the ability to process them, is important for disease prevention and health care.

Active oxigen: Active oxigen produced excessively in our body is measured by an indicator called oxidative stress.

Antioxidant status: It refers to a system that removes excessive active oxigen from the body or defends our body.

06 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Antioxidant Vitamin - Mineral Test: By measuring the blood levels of antioxidants(vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, coenzyme Q10, homo cysteine), the antioxidant capacity of your body is determined. If the test results show that it is insuffcient, the antioxidant injection therapy is given.

Vitamin D test: This test measures the level of vitamin D that builds bones, keeps them firm and activates the immune system.

Blood vitamin D concentration of 22,043 people aged 10 or older
(Data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2008 to 2010)

08 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Blood viscosity: The risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease is assessed by measuring the viscosity of blood that affects blood flow.
Subjects of the test : Obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, diabetes and smokers

09 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk: Homo cysteine and lipoprotein (a) which are risk factors for coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease are tested. High levels of homo cysteine in the blood have a high incidence of heart disease, as homo cysteine is the primary cause of damage to the inner walls of arteries.

Acute allergy test(food, respiratory system): When our immune system reacts excessively to foreign substances, various symptoms(hives,rhintis andasthma) occur, which are called allergies. The best treatment is to identify the causative agent (antigen) which causes allergies and prevent exposure to the causative agent. The acute allergy test determines the causative agent of the allergy by measuring the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) that responds to a specific antigen. This can help to prevent allergic diseases from occuring.

11 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Atopic test: It is a test specialized for atopic dermatitis and it tests for specific antigens(egg yolk, lacto albumin, lacto globulin, peas and casiin) that can cause atopic dermatitis.

12 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Chronic Allergy Test(Food: lgG4): IgG antibodies with delayed allergic reactions are tested to find causes of chronic allergies. Delayed allergic reactions to food occur after a period of time after eating, causing inflammatory reactions in various parts of the body. Symptoms include mood swings, fatigue, headache, skin symptoms, decreased concentration, abdominal inflation and heavy stomach. Through a food allergy test, avoiding foods that do not suit you, and eating foods which help your gut health help you develop a healthy eating habit.

13 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Autoantibody test(autoimmunity): It is for the diseases in which autoantibodies attack autologous tissues because of abnormalities in your body's immune system. There are about more than 80 diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome. It helps in discriminating autoimmune diseases by testing for the presence or absence of autoantibodies, which are the causes of autoimmune diseases.

14 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

NKcell activity test (cancer immunity): After activating NKcells, we quantitatively measure the amount of interferon gamma(IFN-γ) secreted to evaluate the resistance of our body to disease (cancer). Cancer patients have significantly lower NKcell activity than normal people.
NKcells
NKcells are immune cells that directly destroy virus-infected cells or cancer cells.

Subjects of the test

if there is a disease that is being treated
if you are under excessive stress
if you have a family history of cancer
if inflammation is developed often
smoking, excessive drinking

15 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Fatty acid test: This is a test that measures fatty acids in the cell membrane of red blood cells via a blood test to find out information on the balance of major fatty acids and lipid metabolism.
Fat is an essential component for human growth and development. It organizes cell membranes in our body and plays many functions, including brain development, maintenance of healthy skin and absorption of vitamins. It is important to have a balanced intake of essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and omega 6, which are good fats.

Subjects of the test

Modern people eating a lot of fast food and meat-based meals
poor blood circulation
atopy, obesity, cardio-cerebrovascular disease

16 PREMIUM HEALTH RESORT

Amino acid test: This test measures the imbalance of amino acids in the body, the basic building block of protains. Amino acid is a nutrient necessary for synthesizing enzymes necessary for various metabolism as as consistuting the hair, muscle, connective tissue and dermis of the skin.

Subjects of the test

Depression
sleep disorder
metabolic imbalance
indigestion
lethargy
loss of motivation
fatigue
thyroid dysfunction
autonomic nervous system dysfunction
rheumatoid arthritis
inherited amino acid metabolism disease

Dementia test: It is a test that can predict the risk of Alzheimer's with a small amount of blood. Alzheimer's disease has a detrimental effect on brain cells by depositing a small protein called beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is substance that accumulates 15 to 30 years before symptoms appear. It is the first to be detected and is very useful for testing for Alzheimer's risk.
