Diagnostic Blood Test:

• Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)

The digestive system is lined with bacteria that help fight infection, get rid of toxins, and provide the body with key nutrients. However, these bacteria also produce a molecule called trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Some TMAO is necessary for good health, but high concentrations may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or an early death.
