Organic Acid Testing

The Organic Acids Profile is a comprehensive organic acids test designed to provide deeper insights into metabolism, gut health, mitochondrial function, and nutrient status.

​

Energy & Mitochondrial Processing, which offers insight into:

• Glycolysis

• Krebs cycle (Mitochondrial function)

• Fatty acid oxidation

• Carnitine demand

• Ketones

 

Nutrition for information related to nutritional insufficiencies and:

• B-Complex (vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 and lipoic acid), vitamin B12, B6, folate, and biotin

• Dietary intake: plant components and fructose intake

 

Stress & Mood for analysis of:

• Catecholamine turnover

• Serotonin turnover

• Neurological inflammation

• Cortisol and cortisone

 

Toxic Impacts for insight into the detoxification processes and assessment of:

• Oxidative damage

• Toxin exposure to xylene, styrene, and ethylbenzene

• Glutathione status

• Kidney function

• Oxalate metabolism

​

GI Microbial Metabolites for evaluation of gut dysbiosis through analytes related to:

• Tyrosine & tryptophan metabolites (protein fermentation)

• Polyphenol metabolites (saccharolytic fermentation)

• Glycine conjugation

• Equol production

• Fungal assessment

 

This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
