URINARY ORGANIC ACIDS

Urinary organic acid testing helps practitioners to identify dysfunction in key metabolic pathways. Dysfunctional metabolic pathways can negatively impact mood, energy production, and overall health while also providing insight into nutrient insufficiency, diet composition, toxic exposures, and microbial metabolism. Urinary organic acids testing provides useful information about how well an individual’s metabolic pathways are functioning. Revealed imbalances may provide guidance around the underlying contributors to both symptoms and disease states. Our Organic Acids Panel offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with more than 95 markers including the ones for:

Malabsorption and Dysbiosis Markers

Cellular Energy, Oxidative Damage, and Mitochondrial Markers

Vitamin Markers

Neurotransmitter Metabolites

Toxin and Detoxification Markers

Oxalate Markers

Methylation Cofactors Markers

Inherited metabolic disorders

Disorders associated with nutritional deficiencies and other metabolic imbalances:

Anxiety – Autism Spectrum Disorders – Depression – Diabetes – Digestive Disorders – Fatigue – Fibromyalgia – Gastrointestinal Dysbiosis – Insulin resistance – Neurological Disorders – Obesity – Optimizing health – Psychological Disorders – Vulvodynia.

Evaluation of muscle function

Revealing excessive levels of gastrointestinal (GI) yeast

Revealing excessive levels of GI bacteria

Detection of nutritional or antioxidant deficiencies

Determining problems in fatty acid metabolism

Identification of oxalate imbalances
