Organic Acids Test (OAT) (urine)

Description

Why Run an Organic Acids Test (OAT)?

The OAT helps bridge the gap between symptoms and metabolic health, guiding practitioners toward personalized interventions.​

​The OAT provides insight into six key clinical categories. This allows practitioners to quickly identify patterns of dysfunction across metabolic pathways, organic acid testing supports a functional and integrative approach to patient care, helping individuals better understand their unique biochemistry and optimize their health journey.

• Microbial Overgrowth Markers of yeast, mold, bacteria, Clostridium species, and their metabolic byproducts.​
• ​Mitochondrial Health Intermediates of glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism involved in energy production​
• ​Neurotransmitter Metabolites Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine/ epinephrine pathway metabolites, providing insights into neurotransmitter imbalances.​
• ​Methylation / Detoxification Metabolites reflecting methyl group cycling, glutathione status, and nutrients involved in both methylation and detoxification.
• Nutrient Needs Direct and indirect biomarkers reflecting the functional demand for B-vitamins, antioxidants, and other key micronutrients.
• Toxic Exposure Provides insights into metabolites influenced by heavy metals, environmental toxins or mold/mycotoxin exposures, and associated oxidative stress and glutathione depletion.
