From energy to mood, detox, nutrients, and the microbiome, the Organic Acids Test turns hidden imbalances into a clear, you-specific roadmap, so your plan isn’t guesswork.

What OAT measures (and why it matters):

⚡ Energy: Mitochondria clues show where pathways stall.
🧠 Neurotransmitters: Insights tied to mood, focus, and sleep.
🛡️ Detox: Signals for oxidative stress and detox capacity.
🥕 Nutrients: Functional flags to guide precise food + targeted supplements.
🦠 Gut Microbiome: Metabolites that hint at dysbiosis and fermentation patterns.
🧬 Amino Acids: How you’re using and recycling protein.
🍄 Overgrowth — Markers that can correlate with bloating, brain fog, and skin flares.

Why it helps: Instead of chasing symptoms, you get actionable next steps rooted in your data.

🧡 Curious if OAT is right for you? Book a personalized consultation at Forum Health and turn results into day-to-day changes you can feel.
