Organic Acids Urine Analysis

$750.00

The Organic Acids Profile (OAp) is a comprehensive urine analysis designed to provide deeper insights into metabolism, gut health, mitochondrial function, and nutrient status. The OAp test evaluates urine metabolites to identify the flow of biochemical pathways, revealing information about each person’s unique metabolic function.

Organic acids are intermediate compounds in metabolic pathways. The elevation or reduction of certain organic acids can be due to many factors such as genetics, diet, nutrient status, toxin exposures, exercise, physiologic demands, gut microbiome, disease state, and others. Additionally, alterations in organic acid concentrations have been associated with a wide range of clinical conditions and symptoms.

While everyone can benefit from the Organic Acids test to achieve optimal health, it is particularly relevant for individuals with conditions such as:

  • Dysmetabolism, prediabetes, and diabetes

  • Weight changes and obesity

  • Fatigue

  • Athletic performance

  • Poor immune function

  • Depression and anxiety

  • GI symptoms

  • Renal and liver dysfunction

By completing the OAp, you will gain valuable insights into your individual biochemical picture, allowing for personalized recommendations and a path to healing. We highly recommend scheduling with our expert provider, Dr. Jess Loveless, to interpret this test and help develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. (plug in info/cost here).

The OAp kit will be shipped directly to you, and can be done in the comfort of your own home. You will simply collect your first urine of the day as instructed and mail it back. Results should be completed within 10-15 days.

To get the best results, we also recommend completing this test in combination with the GI-MAP. Assessing your urine, stool, and bloodwork is the best way to get a full picture of your health, make appropriate recommendations, and optimize your health.
