Urine organic acids testing can help practitioners 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.
The personalized information generated in the Organic Acids Profile test report can establish a patient's baseline status and help practitioners customize protocols.
The Organic Acids Profile is Categorized by the Following Key Functional Areas of Patient Health:
1. Metabolic Processing
2. Amino Acid & Protein Metabolism
3. Nutrition
4. Stress & Mood
5. Microbial Metabolites
6. Toxic Impacts
Organic acid testing provides insight into how well patients function metabolically. Practitioners can use insights from the Organic Acid Profile to personalize protocols to help patients improve dysfunctional pathways that may be contributing to current or future disease states.
Benefits of Organic Acid Testing Include:
Amino acid breakdown products can help gain insight into:
The Organic Acid Profile evaluates imbalances in the Krebs Cycle intermediate organic acids. Understanding imbalances in the Krebs Cycle can help identify the location of impaired flow and possible impacts of the pathways.
The Organic Acid Profile helps Identify impacts on stress and mood disorders by providing information on neurotransmitter turnover and cortisol levels.
Gut bacteria produce organic acids during their metabolic processing. Identification of these unique compounds can indicate potential gut-microbiome imbalances.
The Organic Acids Profile helps practitioners quickly identify dysfunctions associated with various conditions. The test report has been designed to help practitioners establish a patient baseline and to identify possible core issues in those with health conditions.
Metabolomics research has evaluated the following conditions associated with Organic Acid Testing:
Specimen Type: Urine (First Morning Void)
This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
