Urine is not merely a "by-product" of metabolism; it is a "barometer" of health. As early as the 5th century BC, scientists discovered that the color and other properties of urine might be associated with certain specific diseases. Today, with the rapid development of biological omics technologies — especially advances in high-precision analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) — we are now able to conduct comprehensive and in-depth analysis of hundreds to thousands of metabolites in urine, just like interpreting a "performance report" of the body to understand important physiological processes such as energy metabolism, nutrient absorption and toxin excretion.
A Mirror of Health Status
The composition of urine is highly complex. Scientists have confirmed that human urine contains at least 3,079 chemical substances from body metabolism, including but not limited to organic acids, proteins, glucose, ketone bodies, bilirubin and creatinine. The information contained in the types and concentrations of these metabolites is like a mirror, reflecting the physiological and pathological state within the human body, rendering the sub-health state concrete and digital, thereby helping us better maintain and improve our quality of life.

Wide Range of Applications
As a non-invasive and highly efficient means of health management, urine metabolite testing is particularly suitable for people in a sub-health state, those with chronic diseases, or those with a family history of hereditary diseases. Regular testing is like installing a sensitive early-warning system for the body, enabling the early identification of potential health risks and the timely adoption of intervention measures. Through tailored health management plans, it can not only improve overall health but also enhance one's state of life and sense of well-being, making every day more reassuring and full of vitality.
