Microbial Organic Acid Test (MOAT) GPL Urine Test Kit

PORPHYRINS PROFILE – GPL Urine Test Kit
PORPHYRINS PROFILE
Porphyrins are generated as the body builds hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in blood cells.

Small amounts of several porphyrins appear in urine normally. The relative amounts of each porphyrin are altered by certain hereditary diseases and by environmental or nutritional influences. The classic cases of hereditary porphyria displayed highly colored urine and skin eruptions and neurological symptoms of mania and “madness.”$345.00 -
