Organic Acids Test (OAT)

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. 

The OAT report categorizes test results into major metabolic areas:

• Malabsorption and Dysbiosis Markers
• Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Markers
• Vitamin Markers
• Neurotransmitter Metabolites
• Toxins & Detoxification Markers
• Oxalate Markers

The test provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behaviour disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function. 

The Organic Acids Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.

Common clinical indications for testing include:

• Mood disorders
• Neurocognitive decline
• Gut issues
• Autism
• ADHD/ADD
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Fatigue
• Eating disorders, such as anorexia
• Sleep Disorders

If abnormalities are detected using the OAT, treatments can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification. Upon treatment, patients and practitioners have reported significant improvement, such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain. The OAT is strongly recommended as the initial screening test.

How does it work?

A Urine Analysis test kit will be sent to you by mail. Once completed, a booking can be made with the designated courier to collect the kit (with no additional charges), which will be delivered to the laboratory for testing.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

All test kits are shipped and are expected to arrive within a few working days. The shipped test kits are considered concluded orders and are non-refundable any longer.

Average processing time:

18-21 days, after the test kits are returned to the lab. Return tests to the lab within 90 days of the order.

How do I take a sample?

All kits include straightforward instructions, allowing you to obtain a sample at home easily.

Are the tests reliable?

Yes! We use leading accredited laboratories to ensure that our testing is of the highest quality.

What will I receive after the test has been processed?

A report will then be generated with detailed information about the tested areas and recommended interventions. This test requires specialized knowledge for interpretation. You will be provided with a secure login on the lab platforms to view and download the results.

What happens after I receive the results?

You will be presented with the option to book an appointment with the doctor to further discuss the test results. The appointment will last about 30-60 minutes (includes the time the doctor needs to study the results), during which professional interpretation, further advice, and a possible therapeutic plan, based on your results, will be provided.

Privacy policy:

The original sample material is destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. No other research or analyses are performed without separate permission from the patient. We do not give or sell the results to any third parties.
