Organic Acid Testing

An Organic Acids Test (OAT) can provide a “metabolic snapshot” of a patient’s overall health, offering insight into how the body is functioning in a number of ways. Performed from a simple urine test, OAT tests help us to determine vitamin and mineral deficiencies, amino acid deficiencies, oxidative damage and antioxidant need, detoxification capacity, neurotransmitter production, systemic bacterial and yeast issues and more.

We know that many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders will excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. High levels of these acids may be the result of oral antibiotic use, high-sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections and genetics.

This information is highly valuable when treating patients who are experiencing fatigue, mood changes, weight issues, sleep disturbances, depression and chemical sensitivities, bloating, joint pain, gas, distention, reflux, autoimmune disorders and more.
