OAT Organic Acids Test Great Plains

The OAT Organic Acids Test includes 75 organic acids to give a metabolic snapshot of overall health, methylation, gut microbiome, oxalates, neurotransmitters, toxicity, nutrient status and much more.

 

 

The OAT Organic Acids test offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of overall health.  It also includes mitochondrial markers, which are associated with the Krebs cycle and energy production (our ability to turn protein, fat and carbohydrate into energy).

The OAT test looks at biomarkers for:

  • Intestinal microbial overgrowth
  • Oxalate metabolites
  • Glycolytic cycle metabolites
  • Mitochondrial makers (Kreb cycle)
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites
  • Folate metabolism
  • Ketone and fatty acid oxidation
  • Nutritional markers
  • Indicators of detoxification
  • Amino acid metabolites

Defects of mitochondrial metabolism are associated with a wide spectrum of illness and disease. This test can reveal metabolic distress that can arise from many causes, including:

  • Toxic exposure
  • Nutrient deficiency
  • Intestinal dysbiosis
  • Dysglycemia
  • Oxidative stress
  • Poor diet

The OAT Organic Acids test is particularly relevant for the chronically unwell patient who may be experiencing:

  • Multiple chemical sensitivities
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Fatigue
  • Malaise
  • Hypotonia (loss of muscle tone)
  • pH imbalances
  • Low exercise tolerance
  • Muscle/joint pain
  • Headache
At Smart Nutrition we pride ourselves in offering the best cost possible for the OAT organic acid test.

 

 

Organic acids are metabolic intermediates produced in the pathways of many metabolic functions. If a chemical in the body has to get from A to B, there are usually many steps. The organic acids are produced during these steps.

The accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. This abnormality may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. An organic acids urine test helps reveal activity and changes at the metabolic level.

The Advanced Intestinal Barrier Assessment is a useful test to consider if you suspect you have intestinal permeability or “leaky gut” and want to know what imbalances may be driving that process.

Test your methylation genes and support any areas that are compromised.

This test looks at metabolites produced by yeast and bacteria, with elevated levels indicating yeast or bacterial dysbiosis.

The fastest SIBO Test, complete at home and get your results in 5 working days. SIBO is where you have high levels of bacteria in the small intestine and maybe contributing to your digestive symptoms

The GI-MAP Stool test is designed to assess a patient’s microbiome with particular attention to microbes that cause disease or that disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to perturbations in the GI flora and contribute to illness. Order this test now and identify any imbalances.

The NutrEval test is the most comprehensive health MOT available. It identifies nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies for over 125 markers and provides personalised recommendations for each.
