eNano Health - P4 TMAO (Cardiac) Test (Heart Diseases)

 

A New Way To Predict Heart Attack And Stroke Risk

This P4 test can be self-performed easily and frequently at home, empowering individuals to become aware of developing health risks at an early stage and to adapt to a personalized healthier lifestyle.

 

This Test Kit Measures Your TMAO Level

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a metabolite derived from gut bacteria.  High levels increase the risk of heart disease, hardening of the arteries, diabetes, impaired kidney function, colon cancer.  It may be also used to predict risk of heart attack, stroke, and death even for patients not identified through traditional risk factors or other blood test.

Therefore, it is crucial to monitor your TMAO levels frequently in order to maintain it in normal range.  Monitoring TMAO levels will help reduce the risk of heart diseases.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is an organic compound produced by TMA (trimethylamine), a common product of plant and animal decomposition in the human body when red meat, eggs, dairy, and saltwater fish are digested. TMA is transferred via the bloodstream to the liver and gets oxidized to TMAO by the enzyme FMO3.

Factors that may increase the TMAO levels include:

·         Animal products (eggs, red meat, dairy products, and fish)

·         High-fat diet

·         L-Carnitine supplements

·         Gastric bypass surgery

·         Sleep deprivation

·         Pregnancy

·         Pollutants

High levels of TMAO are associated with heart disease, hardening of the arteries, diabetes, impaired kidney function, colon cancer, and may elevate the risk of cardiovascular problems by twice as compared with people who have lower levels.

On the other hand, factors that may decrease the TMAO levels to prevent the potential negative effects of high levels of TMAO include:

·         Vegetarian/ Vegan/ Mediterranean diet

·         Vitamins D and B

·         Pistachios

·         Brussels Sprouts

·         Prebiotics and potential probiotics

·         Resveratrol (found in berries and grapes)

·         DMB (3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol; found in red wine)

·         Meldonium

Therefore, it is crucial to monitor your TMAO levels frequently in order to maintain it in normal range.

 

TMAO Level Measurement

Our simple saliva-based glucose solution test kits measure the amount of TMAO in the blood. It allows individuals to easily and conveniently test frequently to monitor the level of this biomarker. The higher the biomarker levels, the higher the risk of having heart diseases such as heart attack and heart failure.
