Athletic Performance Testing Packages

Are you looking for:

More energy
Faster recovery time
More muscles and Less body fat
Better mental alertness
Better digestion

Choose one of our 3 performance packages to help you identify any nutritional deficiencies or metabolic blockages that can hinder your performance.

1/Basic Performance Package: Price $139

Whether you are a weekend warrior or an elite athlete, testing for iron levels, hydration levels and body composition can help you improve your energy and performance. This basic performance package can help you keep your goals on track and optimize your performance. The basic package consists of:

1.Bioimpedence analysis (BIA): Your body composition (ratio of muscle to fat), hydration levels, basal metabolic rate and cellular health are all measured using our BIA machine.
2.Ferritin levels
3.Complete Blood Count (CBC)
4.1/2 consult with a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner (RNCP)

Body composition is the percentage of fat, bone and muscle in the human body. Monitoring your body composition with the use of bioimpedance analysis is a key indicator of health and fitness.

Hydration levels are important for athletes. Even a minimal drop in hydration levels can have a big impact on performance. It can provoke changes in you mental ability, cardiovascular system, metabolic, central nervous system, thermoregulatory and muscular strength (1)

Cellular health: The cell membrane regulates inflow and outflow of water to and from the cell. Intracellular water (water inside the cell) is a sensitive indicator of nutritional health. The first sign of declining health is a shift of cellular fluids form inside the cell to outside the cell. We are able to track both short and long term nutritional changes in your health using BIA.

Your basal metabolic rate is the amount of calories you burn at rest. We can estimate you basal metabolic rate, which can help you create personal caloric requirements to help you achieve a health body composition.

Iron is important for an athlete because it is a component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to muscle cells via the blood. Some athletes, especially women or vegetarians, do not get enough iron in their diet. Endurance athletes are also known to have low iron levels. Some studies support the idea that lower iron status compromises aerobic capacity (VO2 max) endurance (2). Iron status must first be assessed by a health care practitioner before supplementation is considered. If you need to take an iron supplement, it is important to take a high quality, absorbable iron supplement. NutriChem’s Ferrotrate is an iron supplement designed for maximum absorption in people with iron deficiency.

2/Performance Plus Package: Price $339

This package includes everything in the basic package, plus an amino acid profile.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Protein is very important to the athlete as it is used to repair tissue, build muscles, make enzymes and hormones and is used as a source of energy. Often we think the more the better but in the case of protein you want to use optimum amount of high quality protein. In some cases where poor assimilation of protein is a concern, free amino acids might be an option. At NutriChem we can test essential and non-essential amino acids to see if you are obtaining proper amounts. From these results we can formulate a customized supplement to ensure you are obtaining the proper amounts of protein.

3/Premier Package: Body Chemistry Balancing Test (BCB): Price $599

For optimal performance, making sure you get the correct nutrients for your body is essential. The nutritional demands of an athlete make it important to make sure that they are receiving the proper nutrients to support their body. Supplementing proper vitamins and minerals, along with proper diet can help improve your strength, speed, endurance and oxygen capacity.

Deciding on which supplements to take can be a bit confusing for the athlete. We can design a personalized supplement based on the athlete’s biochemical and metabolic test results.

We test for over 100 different biomarkers and hormones, through blood and urine. This package includes a 1/2 consultation with one of our health professionals qualified in body chemistry balancing. The Body Chemistry Balancing (BCB) testing panels include:

Antioxidants

Amino Acids

Oxidative Stress

Urinary Organic Acids

Hormone Panel.
