Dr. Malek’s *NEW*
Methylation NUTRIENTS panel
$1,339.96 $299
RBC Folate + Homocysteine + Serum B12 + RBC Copper + Plasma Zinc + Plasma B6 + ALT + RBC Magnesium
This is NOT a genetic test.
If you’ve already tested MTHFR and COMT etc.—or even haven’t tested any genetics at all—the next best step is to test the levels of methylation-essential nutrients in your blood.
The most important methylation nutrients are:
folate (tested in your RBCs, the most accurate way)
B12 (tested in your serum)
zinc (tested in your plasma)
copper (tested in your RBCs)
magnesium (tested in your RBCs)
B6 (tested in your plasma)
and choline (estimated via your ALT)
This test is the single most convenient and cost-effective way to test those nutrients.
I will also test your homocysteine, which is the #1 most important biomarker for methylation.
After you order:
I send you a PDF requisition form (usually within 24 hours).
You show up at Quest Diagnostics (most cities have multiple locations, and usually accept walk-ins)
You show them the requisition form on your phone and get tested right then and there.
Then I send you the results in about a week with a brief interpretation.
For comparison, this exact same panel would cost exactly $1,339.96 if you were to get it from Quest through a normal doctor’s order without insurance.

“The work you do… is simply unprecedented”

Note: I am testing each of these nutrients using the most clinically accurate medium (not just testing everything in the plasma).
Folate is best tested in the RBCs (not the serum, how it’s usually tested), alongside homocysteine levels.
B12 is best tested in the serum, alongside homocysteine levels.
Zinc is best tested in the plasma.
Copper is best tested in the RBCs (not the plasma, because that value is affected by inflammation levels).
Magnesium is best tested in the RBCs (doctors always order serum magnesium, which is rarely abnormal even when people are severely deficient).
B6 is best tested in the plasma, alongside homocysteine.
Choline is best tested by assessing liver fat status, hence the ALT test.
Absolutely no hidden fees— $299 covers everything: lab order, blood draw, and results

Why I Built This
I’m a licensed allopathic medicine-trained physician turned Precision- and Genomics- Medicine physician trained in Functional Medicine at IFM, and over the years I’ve worked with many patients whose symptoms didn’t respond to typical approaches—persistent fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and adverse reactions to supplements or medications.
Methylation is often a missing piece, but methylation is not just genetics. Those genetics interact with environmental factors that change the way your genes function. The most important of those environmental factors is nutrient status.
This panel brings together the most clinically relevant nutrients and biomarkers in the most convenient way possible. For comparison, the same panel costs exactly $1,339.96 if you get it from Quest through a normal doctor’s order without insurance.
