Phosphoserine (Urine)

Optimal result: 0 – 13 micromol/g creatinine

High levels of Phosphoserine could reflect a functional magnesium deficiency causing incomplete conversion to serine.

Phosphoserine may be low in association with a very poor diet that is extremely low in protein, calories, B-6 and/ or magnesium. Hormonal dysfunctions, vitamin D deficiency, and calcium deficit are other possible reasons for low phosphoserine.

Phosphoserine is a product of glycolysis and is formed by amino group transfer from glutamic acid to phosphohydroxypyruvic acid.

Phosphoserine is a product of glycolysis and is formed by amino group transfer from glutamic acid to phosphohydroxypyruvic acid. Low levels of phosphoserine may be secondary to: vitamin B6 deficiency (as coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate for amino group transfer), low pyruvic acid, impaired glycolysis, or serine insufficiency where phosphoserine is consumed as a source for serine.

"Watching my numbers move over the years — instead of forgetting last time's results — completely changed how I manage my health."

"Living across several countries made keeping my lab results organized a real challenge. Healthmatters brought my results from the USA, Spain, and Germany together — 20 years of history, with long-term trends instead of scattered reports."

"Standard lab ranges are too wide for how I practice — 'normal' isn't optimal. I set my own bands, so a client sees yellow before a marker goes officially out of range. That's the conversation I want to be having."
