The Organic Acids Test measures a broad group of substances used in the body’s basic metabolic processes. When you analyse organic acids, you gain insight into how your body uses nutrients from food and converts them into energy (ATP). This process involves enzymes and their cofactors. If you lack these cofactors or if the enzymes are not working optimally, certain substances may accumulate. Measuring these substances’ concentrations can reveal potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Additionally, metabolic products of neurotransmitters in urine can indicate stress hormone imbalances, and dysbiosis markers may point to bacterial imbalances in the gut.
Organic Acids have various health benefits such as:
It is important to have a decent amount of Organic Acids in the body, not too little but also not too much, as too many Organic Acids can cause side effects like nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. Consult with your healthcare provider about whether you should take supplements or make dietary changes after receiving your Organic Acid test results.
GetTested is dedicated to offering accessible and accurate health diagnostics. We designed our Organic Acids test to empower you with knowledge about your health status. The urine organic acids test is a convenient test, because you can simply collect a urine sample from the comfort of your home using our user-friendly test kit.
Urine testing is highly effective, because organic acids are found in high amounts in urine. The special lab techniques separate the acids out to analyse them. If you may have a metabolic imbalance, it may show up as abnormal organic acids in your test results.
You perform the Organic Acids Test at home by collecting your second morning urine. After collecting the sample, you send it to a lab for analysis. You will receive your digital test results once the lab completes the analysis. Since the Organic Acid Test uses a urine sample, it is suitable for children as well.
