Specialized Urinalysis


Conventional urinalysis is used to evaluate properties such as acidity, concentration (a measure of how dehydrated an individual may be) and the presence of sugars, blood, or protein in the urine, as these properties may indicate irregularities and disturbances in the urinary system.

However, the urinalysis testing conducted at CCNM is much more specific, and is used to further evaluate chemical imbalances and stressors within the body.
Our urinalysis testing is specific

Specialized Urinalysis assesses:

  • Vitamin C Levels: This test assesses your body's stores of vitamin C and determines possible need. Vitamin C is needed for proper immune system functioning, allergy management and antioxidant protection.

  • The Adrenal State: This test assesses the state of the adrenals and how much support is needed to return the body to a balanced state.  The adrenal gland is the "stress gland". Its job is to respond to stressors and enable the body to adapt easily. Long-term stress results in a decreased ability to respond to stress and subsequently an increase in symptom complaints.

  • Calcium Levels: Calcium excretion in the urine is used to assess how much of this mineral is being lost, and whether supplementation is required. Calcium has long been known as the bone mineral, however, it is also very important for the nervous and muscular systems.

  • Malabsorption: This test will evaluate your digestive effectiveness and give you valuable information about the condition of your digestive tract. Incomplete digestion can result in immune system compromise, allergies, gas and bloating, and overall general fatigue. The integrity of the gut is the body's first line of defense against disease.

NOTE: Special instructions apply to ensure the accuracy of your results.
