Organic Acids Test (OAT)
The Organic Acids Test is a urine test that measures seventy-six metabolic markers, giving a detailed picture of how well key biochemical pathways in the body are functioning.
Organic acids reflect everything from energy production and nutrient status to gut microbial balance, neurotransmitter activity, and detoxification capacity.
Because urine naturally concentrates these metabolites, this test can be especially helpful for uncovering underlying contributors to chronic symptoms or nutrient insufficiencies.
Please note: this is a results-only service. Your test report will be provided for your own review, and no consultation or personalised interpretation is included.
Biomarkers tested: 76 total
(Includes markers for mitochondrial function, B-vitamin need, amino acid metabolism, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter metabolites, and indicators of yeast or bacterial overgrowth.)

Additional glyphosate testing can be added if desired.
When is this test useful?
This profile is particularly valuable when investigating persistent or unexplained health issues. It can offer insight into gut dysbiosis, yeast or bacterial overgrowth, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter imbalances, detoxification issues and nutrient deficiencies. I
t is commonly used for individuals with chronic fatigue, mood or cognitive concerns, digestive problems, metabolic challenges such as insulin dysregulation and for anyone looking to better understand the biochemical roots of their symptoms or optimise overall wellness.
