Key Nutrients and Compounds Measured
Zinc – An essential mineral that supports cell growth, DNA production, immune function, and overall health. Low zinc levels may contribute to symptoms such as depression, ADHD, ADD, or learning difficulties.
Copper – Works with iron to form red blood cells and is important for energy production, connective tissue formation, and nervous system function. Too much copper can be linked to anxiety, mood changes, and depression.
Ceruloplasmin – The main copper-carrying protein in the blood, also important for iron metabolism.
Histamine – A neurotransmitter that plays a role in brain function and behaviour. Imbalances may influence mood, anxiety, or mental health conditions.
Vitamin D – Known as the “sunshine vitamin,” it is essential for overall health. Low vitamin D can impact energy, mood, immunity, and general well-being.
Homocysteine – A naturally occurring amino acid. Imbalances may affect heart health, brain function, and overall cellular health.
S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) – A compound found throughout the body that helps support mood, the immune system, cell health, and the production of key neurotransmitters like serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine.
S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) – Works alongside SAMe in important methylation processes, supporting DNA, RNA, protein function, and overall biochemical balance.
 
Pfeiffer Profile – Nutritional & Biochemical Health Test
The Pfeiffer Profile is a comprehensive blood test that looks at key nutrients and biochemical markers in your body. It helps your practitioner understand how your body is functioning at a cellular level and can guide personalised strategies to support overall health, brain function, and wellbeing.
 
This test is particularly useful for assessing factors that may influence:
Focus, attention, and learning – conditions like ADD, ADHD, or learning difficulties
Development and behaviour – including Autism spectrum considerations
Mental health – such as mood disorders, anxiety, or general cognitive function
Overall wellness – including energy, metabolism, and nutrient balance
 
Why This Test is Helpful
The Pfeiffer Profile examines how well your body is processing and using essential nutrients. Imbalances can impact:
Energy levels and fatigue
Brain function, focus, and memory
Mood, stress resilience, and emotional balance
Immune health and detoxification
 
By identifying nutrient gaps or biochemical imbalances, your practitioner can recommend dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle strategies tailored to your individual needs. This makes it a powerful tool not just for specific conditions, but for supporting your long-term health and vitality.
