Introduction: Why Amino Acid Testing Is Critical for Optimal Health

Amino acids are the building blocks of life—crucial for brain function, energy production, hormone balance, and immune strength. Imbalances can quietly trigger chronic symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, depression, or digestive issues. At Patients Medical in New York City, our integrative and functional approach uses advanced amino acid testing to identify deficiencies or excesses and create personalized treatment plans.
