Analysing saliva to guide personalised nutrition and lifestyle choices
Assessing metabolic health often involves blood sampling and a limited set of indicators. Practitioners must interpret multiple data points to guide preventive care, while patients can struggle to understand results and translate them into lifestyle changes.
Maven Health measures 47 metabolites in saliva and turns the results into personalised nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. Practitioners receive reports to guide client consultations, with repeat testing to track metabolic changes over time.
