Organic Acids Test (OAT)
This comprehensive test evaluates organic acids in the urine, which are metabolic byproducts that can provide insight into overall health. The OAT helps identify yeast and fungal overgrowth, oxidative stress, detoxification capacity, neurotransmitter levels, and nutritional deficiencies, offering a detailed view of metabolic function.
Insights Provided
-
✺
Detection of Yeast and Fungal Overgrowth: Identifies overgrowth of yeast and fungi, such as Candida, which can lead to digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms.
-
✺
Oxidative Stress Levels and Antioxidant Needs: Measures markers of oxidative stress, providing insights into how well the body is managing free radicals and whether additional antioxidant support is needed.
-
✺
Detoxification Pathway Efficiency: Assesses the body's ability to detoxify harmful substances, identifying potential blockages or inefficiencies in detoxification pathways.
-
✺
Neurotransmitter Levels Affecting Mood and Cognition: Evaluates metabolites related to neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, offering insights into mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function.
-
✺
Identification of Specific Nutrient Deficiencies: Detects deficiencies in key nutrients, such as B vitamins and amino acids, which are essential for energy production, mental health, and overall wellness.
Ideal For
-
✺
Individuals with Chronic Health Issues Like Fatigue, Brain Fog, or Digestive Problems: Those who are experiencing ongoing health issues that may be linked to metabolic imbalances or yeast overgrowth.
-
✺
Those Interested in Optimizing Brain Health and Mood: Individuals looking to improve mental clarity, mood stability, and overall cognitive function by addressing neurotransmitter imbalances.
-
✺
Those Seeking to Address Nutritional Deficiencies and Improve Metabolic Function: People who want to ensure their body is receiving and utilizing the nutrients it needs for optimal energy, metabolism, and health.
