[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 9557, member: 14"] We provide Genova lab testing, a company which has an array of testing panels which analyze vitamins, amino-acids, food allergies, and other specialty testing. Samples are taken via urine, blood, and/or saliva. You would receive a test kit in the mail which would be taken to a local lab for drawing, usually Labcorp or Quest (which are everywhere). They do take insurance however it is limited. They have a co-pay program where you pay fee (between $99-$199) and if your insurance denies the test, the copay is all you end up paying.
