The PrivaTest®

What you need is what you get
with this cutting edge metabolic test.


The PrivaTest is an accurate, scientific way to take a snapshot of the most critical metabolic markers in your body’s natural waste fluids to determine the status of your nutritional health and your body’s natural ability to detoxify itself. A scientific window into your personal biochemistry,* the PrivaTest determines cellular function by measuring markers in three critical areas:

* Urinary Sulfates–A marker for sulfur reserves (needed for your liver's detoxification processes).
* Urinary Lipid Peroxides–A marker for oxidative stress (determines your general antioxidant status).
* Urinary Nitrates–A marker for the regulation of nitric oxide (a compound involved in many body systems including your immune system, nervous system and circulatory system).

Research has shown that poor or altered function in these areas may be the root cause of many health challenges. By reading them, the PrivaTest can tell you where you need nutritional support, and how much or little of it you need.

A scientific test designed to put your mind at rest…
Scientists know that a number of complex interrelated factors affect the specific nutrients each person needs. There are common factors like age, gender and weight – variable factors like genetics, diet, exercise, environment, stress levels and emotional reactions – and metabolic factors that change throughout your life and can often disable the built-in body systems that maintain your health.

To ensure that your key metabolic processes are getting the support they need, you need a direct and accurate biochemical evaluation of them.

Traditional nutritional testing measures the nutrients that happen to be in your blood at any given time. But to really know what's going on in your body, you need to know if these nutrients are getting into your cells, and how your cells are using them. One of the best ways to do that is to look at the end products of your metabolism in your urine.

That's exactly what the PrivaTest is designed to do. It starts with a simple home collection kit which you send to our lab for analysis via prepaid FEDEX.

Based on the latest in nutritional science…
After analysis at our lab, your test results are sent to you in your personal PrivaTest Report, revealing key information about the three critical biochemical pathways described earlier.

The 48 Custom Essentials formulations were developed using a database of over 100,000 participants and over 30,000 scientific nutrition studies from top research institutions. Your Custom Essentials blend is the best nutritional selection for you out of 48 possible combinations of 50 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and whole food concentrates.


Be your best with targeted nutrition.

Custom Essentials are a true breakthrough in cutting edge nutritional science. They arethe first and best customized multivitamin that uniquely targets your body's needs based on the results of a revolutionary metabolic test.

Custom Essentials are unique among high quality customized nutritional supplement programs in their affordability. Both Custom Essentials and the metabolic test on which they are based are priced to put true customization within reach of most Americans.


When you receive your first month's supply of Custom Essentials with your PrivaTest Report, you'll have in your hands the distillation of years of research on human nutrition, herbal medicine, biochemistry and metabolic science.

A daily tune-up for all your vital systems.

Whether you’re looking for a men's multivitamin or a women's multivitamin, Custom Essentials is for you. Taking Custom Essentials is like giving yourself a daily tune-up with targeted nutrition unavailable from any other source. Critical nutrients falling below needed levels are added to, excess intake is reduced, and harmful toxins are removed every day!

And you never need worry about missing your daily tune-up. Ideal Health's convenient AutoShip service means that five to seven days before one month's supply of Custom Essentials runs out, your next month's supply is on its way.

There's nothing to remember. No trips to the store. No phone calls to make. No checks to write. It all happens automatically.

Quality unavailable from any other source.

While most other multivitamins contain less than 20 ingredients, Custom Essentials multivitamin is a blend of up to 50 pharmaceutical-grade vitamins, chelated minerals, amino acids and phytonutrients.

These ingredients are buffered to be gentle on your stomach and have a low potential for allergic reactions. They’re designed to stay in your body longer and many are already in their "activated" form, which means they go to work immediately to detoxify, provide digestive support and increase energy production. The minerals are chelated with amino acids to be sure that your body absorbs the essential nutrients.

Your individual formula is carefully balanced and combined with a rich, naturally grown food base.

Custom Essentials is not a stock supplement that has been private-labeled. It is produced exclusively for Ideal Health—and for you—by a formulator that has been supplying healthcare professionals with quality nutritional supplements for over 50 years. This is why Custom Essentials is the best multivitamin on the market today.

Can you think of a better gift to give your body than custom health and peace of mind?

Sometimes baseline custom nutrition just isn’t enough.

Most of the time, and for most people, Ideal Health's PrivaTest and Custom Essentials take care of all basic nutritional needs for maintaining optimal health. However, some biochemical pathways are not included in the PrivaTest because they may not need to be tested in every person. And sometimes, health-threatening imbalances can occur in these other pathways.

The Custom Test Series was created to give you a way to access even more information about your individual biochemistry, whether you're just curious or if certain personal symptoms indicate that you really should investigate a particular area.

Through our exclusive manufacturing and testing arrangements, and by making use of economies of scale, we have made these tests uniquely affordable. In fact, our tests cost far less than those purchased through doctors' offices. And many doctors prefer our tests over similar tests to save their patients money.

Each product in this series consists of:

* An in-home biochemical pathway test you send to our lab.
* A coordinating targeted support product (if your test results indicate that you need it) that further customizes your total health program, of which Custom Essentials is the foundation. To date, around 40% of test results indicate a need for additional metabolic support.

When you receive the results of your test, we will include in your test report a number of holistic, diet and lifestyle changes you can make to address any concerns. And if needed, the appropriate targeted support product will be included.
