The Organic Acids Test (OAT) presents a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health, analyzing 76 markers. It offers a precise assessment of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Elevated levels of these microorganisms can lead to or exacerbate behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function issues. Many individuals with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete multiple abnormal organic acids in their urine. The underlying causes of these heightened levels may involve oral antibiotic usage, high-sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, and genetic factors. The OAT serves as a valuable tool in understanding and addressing the various factors that may impact a patient’s health and well-being.

Our Organic Acids Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.

Organic acids are chemical compounds excreted in the urine of mammals that are products of metabolism. Metabolism is the sum of chemical reactions in living beings by which the body builds new molecules and breaks down molecules to eliminate waste products and produce energy. Organic acids are organic compounds that are acidic. Organic acids are substances in which carbon and hydrogen are always present but which may also contain the elements of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus as well.
