Functional Lab Testing
Organic Acids Test
76 metabolic markers · one urine sample
If standard bloodwork keeps coming back “normal” while you feel anything but, this is the panel that looks deeper. The OAT reads the byproducts your cells leave behind — a working snapshot of your metabolism, detox capacity, brain chemistry and microbial load.

Worth Testing If
When “your labs are normal” isn't the whole story
Organic acids are the downstream products of your metabolic pathways. When enzymes are impaired, cofactors are depleted, or microbial byproducts block a pathway, these acids build up — and show up in your urine long before standard bloodwork flags anything.
- Crushing fatigue that sleep doesn't touch
- Brain fog, poor focus and word-finding trouble
- Anxiety, low mood or mood swings
- Relentless sugar and carb cravings
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Sensitivity to chemicals, scents or alcohol
- Weight that won't shift despite doing everything right
- Gut symptoms that point to yeast or bacterial overgrowth
What It Measures
What 76 markers can show you
One easy first-morning urine sample, read across the metabolic pathways that determine how you actually feel day to day.
Energy & Mitochondria
How efficiently your cells are producing energy — the root of real fatigue.
Neurotransmitter Metabolism
The breakdown products behind mood, focus, motivation and calm.
Detoxification
Glutathione status and how well you’re clearing what you’re exposed to.
Nutrient Cofactors
Functional B-vitamin and nutrient status at the point of use, not just in serum.
Bacterial & Yeast Markers
Microbial byproducts revealing overgrowth driving cravings and fog.
Oxalates & Fatty Acids
Oxalate load and fat metabolism — two common and overlooked drivers.
When metabolic pathways run cleanly, these acids are processed and excreted at expected levels. Abnormal buildup is a signal — and signals are something we can act on.
