Organic Acid Test

Organic Acids Test

The organic acids profile is a urine test which reveals certain metabolites called organic acids which are chemical byproducts of metabolism. These byproducts provide clues for certain imbalances which are often linked to certain nutritional deficiencies, toxicities and neurotransmitter and hormonal imbalances, all of which can worsen stress and psychological and physical suffering. By identifying these imbalances, nutritional, detoxification and neurotransmitter and hormonal interventions can be designed to target them, and individuals often are able to handle physical and psychological stress better.

Organic acids are metabolic intermediates produced in pathways of food digestion, energy production, B vitamin, amino acid and mineral utilization, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown and intestinal flora activity. Organic acids also offer clues about certain genetic vulnerabilities, heavy metals and other toxins, drug effects and oxidative stress from excessive free radicals.
