Blood Chemistry
Functional Blood Chemistry is a valuable tool for nutrition practitioners seeking a comprehensive assessment of their patient’s health from a functional nutritional perspective. Maestro Blood Chemistry excels at pinpointing specific markers that fall outside the standard laboratory range or the optimal range, which is often narrower. Leveraging our proprietary algorithm, crafted by seasoned experts in functional blood analysis with over three decades of experience, this platform conducts an extensive analysis to uncover patterns within a complete panel of data. As a result, it presents nutrition product options related to markers outside functional ranges, for the practitioner’s review.
What is Functional Blood Chemistry?
Functional blood chemistry analysis is an approach some practitioners use when reviewing routine blood work. As SEKISUI Diagnostics describes it, “Instead of reference ranges, it uses optimal ranges to interpret the results.”¹ Standard laboratory reference ranges are based on a broad population. Functional ranges are narrower ranges that practitioners may use as an additional point of reference.
How Maestro Works With Blood Chemistry Results
- Compares each marker to functional ranges. Enter a patient’s existing lab results, and Maestro shows which markers fall above or below the functional range.
- Lists supplement options for out-of-range markers. For each marker outside the functional range, Maestro lists supplement products associated with that marker. Nothing is preselected: the practitioner reviews the options and decides what, if anything, to use.
- Provides a practitioner-only reference report. For each marker, the report includes a general description and points to consider when results fall above or below the functional range, for the practitioner’s reference.
Maestro’s functional ranges and product associations were developed with practitioners and experts in functional nutrition, and are periodically reviewed against current published information.
Functional ranges are not diagnostic criteria, and a result outside them does not indicate the presence or absence of disease. Maestro does not diagnose or treat; all clinical decisions remain with the practitioner.

Reports
Maestro’s reports support both patients and practitioners. For patients, reports provide a clear, organized plan from their practitioner, helping them take an active role in their health journey.
For practitioners, Maestro offers a range of reports, from detailed blood marker results to manufacturer-published cautions for selected products. These reports serve as a reference to support your own assessment of each patient’s needs. The invoice creator offers a simple way to bill patients for the products you provide.
