Organic Acids Test

Sample Required: Urine | Test Type: Hormone & Metabolism

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a comprehensive metabolic (via urine) and nutritional snapshot of your overall health with 75 markers. It does not measure absolute values of nutrients but provides insights into metabolic products (organic acids) which gives a view into your body’s cellular metabolic processes. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows individual tailoring of interventions that maximise your response to treatment and leads to improved health outcomes.

Costs:
Negligible admin costs are added to these test kits and they all come with a pre-paid courier bag (and instructions) for you to conduct and send yourself. The results of the tests get sent directly to us and then we forward them on to you the same day (the lab reports come with very detailed explanations/descriptions of the results). Thereafter, if you would like a consultation (online or in person) to discuss the results, our usual consultation charge would be additional to the functional test.​
