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? It’s 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?
- 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
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.
