ORGANIC ACIDS TEST (OAT)
How It Works:
Home test kit delivered: Once booked, a prepaid test kit is shipped directly to your door within 2–3 days. Everything you need for safe and accurate sample collection is included.
Sample Type: Simple urine test, collected at home and sent to a specialized laboratory
Laboratory Analysis: takes about 3 to 4 weeks to test over 70 organic acid markers that reflect your metabolism, gut health, detox function, mitochondrial activity, nutrient levels, neurotransmitters, and more.
Consultation & Report: If a consultation is booked, it will take place once your results are ready. During the session, we’ll discuss your symptoms, health concerns, and goals in detail. You will then receive a comprehensive report along with a personalised health plan tailored to your results.
DIY: The test results are very complex and best understood with the help of a professional who can accurately interpret and analyse the data.
What is an Organic Acids Test and Why Do You Need One?
An Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a non-invasive urine test that provides a comprehensive assessment of your body’s metabolic function and nutritional status. Organic acids are natural byproducts of metabolism, and imbalances in these markers can signal underlying health issues including nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, toxicity/ mycotoxins, and gut dysfunction.
This test is particularly useful for identifying hidden causes behind chronic health conditions, autoimmune disorders, and neurodivergent traits such as ASD, ADHD, and ADD. It offers a deeper understanding of how your body functions at a cellular level, enabling targeted interventions and personalized care.
Who is this test for?
This test is ideal for anyone who:
has an autoimmune condition
is neurodivergent, including those with asd, adhd, or add
experiences chronic fatigue, brain fog, mood issues, or digestive problems
wants to get to the root cause of symptoms not explained by standard blood tests
is looking for a functional health approach to long-term wellness
What does the test analyse?
The organic acids test evaluates a range of important functions and systems, including:
Gut health: digestion, absorption, dysbiosis, and immune response
Mitochondrial function: energy production at the cellular level
Neurotransmitter balance: mood, focus, sleep, and mental clarity
Detoxification capacity: how well your body eliminates toxins
Macronutrient metabolism: processing of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates
Nutrient levels: such as b vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants
Oxidative stress and toxicity: including indicators of mould, yeast, and chemical exposure
What you’ll learn
If your body has any vitamin or mineral deficiencies
Whether you are experiencing energy or mitochondrial issues
Signs of gut imbalance like yeast or bacterial overgrowth
How well your body is detoxifying and managing oxidative stress
Whether neurotransmitter imbalances could be affecting your mood or focus
How to support your health through targeted nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes
