Other testing modalities that can complement Array 7X include
[176]:
● Comprehensive organic acids testing to evaluate metabolic
function, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial health [177]
● Inflammatory marker assessment (high-sensitivity CRP,
homocysteine, inflammatory cytokines) [178]
● Advanced lipid testing to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors
that may affect neurological health [179]
● Toxic burden assessment including heavy metals,
mycotoxins, and environmental chemicals [180]
● Comprehensive hormone evaluation to assess stress hormone
patterns and neuroendocrine balance [181]
A comprehensive approach to assessment provides the most
complete picture of factors affecting neurological health [182].
