Organic acids are products of the body’s metabolic pathways. Evaluation of these downstream metabolites from various metabolic pathways provides insight into important areas related to gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter status, indicators of detoxification and macronutrient breakdown and nutritional status. This makes organic acid testing a valuable tool to assess the functional need for essential nutrients, diet modification, antioxidant protection, detoxification, and other therapies.

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic snapshot of an individual’s overall health. The OAT measures 76 organic acids from one easy to collect urine sample.

The OAT test report is organized into seven clinically useful categories including:

• Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth – Evaluates for invasive candida, clostridia bacteria toxins, potential mold exposure, and imbalance in the gut microflora
• Glycolytic and Mitochondrial Metabolites – Evaluates for mitochondrial dysfunction
• Neurotransmitter Metabolites – Evaluates for phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan metabolism linked to neurotransmitter status and quinolinic acid production
• Pyrimidines and Fatty Acids – Evaluates for folate metabolism, as well as fatty acid metabolism problems which can contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction
• Oxalates
• Nutritional Markers
• Amino Acids
• Body’s Capacity to Detoxify

NB. This is a practitioner-only report. A consultation / interpretation must accompany the report and is included in this price. You will be contacted when the report arrives to schedule a time.
