About the Test

What is the Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT)?

The Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT) measures markers for beneficial
bacteria, harmful bacteria, Clostridia species, Candida species, yeast, and fungal metabolites, and general markers of dysbiosis.

A subset of the OAT, the MOAT, is ideal for follow-up to the OAT and may be recommended by practitioners looking for a specific abnormality to monitor certain microbial balances or to assess treatment efficacy.

What Does the TEST Measure?

This test reports 21 metabolites (including creatinine), such as markers for
beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria, Clostridia species, Candida species, yeast, and fungal metabolites, and general markers of dysbiosis.

What type of Sample is Needed to Complete the TEST?

Urine: 10 mL of first-morning urine before food or drink is preferred.

Important Notes

  • Patients must avoid apples, grapes (including raisins), pears, cranberries, and their juices 48 hours prior to specimen collection. 
  • Avoid arabinogalactan, echinacea, reishi mushrooms, and ribose supplements for 12 hours before collection.
