The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a valuable tool that provides a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic snapshot of an individual's overall health by measuring 76 organic acids from a urine sample. This test offers insight into various areas related to gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter status, detoxification, macronutrient breakdown, and your nutritional status.
At Regen, we use organic acid testing to get a bigger picture of metabolic health, revealing issues like deficiencies of essential vitamins, insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, amino acids deficiencies, improper carbohydrate metabolism, gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and mood changes.
After receiving a test kit, organic acids testing involves simply collecting a urine sample at home in the morning before consuming any food or fluids. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The test can uncover microbial markers, oxalate metabolites, glycolysis metabolites, mitochondrial markers, and neurotransmitter metabolites, providing valuable information about the body's metabolic processes and potential imbalances. The OAT evaluates various fungal toxins and specific markers for candida and other fungi like mold and yeast. It can also detect toxins related to clostridia bacteria and assess glutathione deficiency.
What is happening inside your body? Let's work to bring it in to balance. Call one of the practitioners at Regen 205-609-1073 to learn if the OAT is a good screening for you.
