Organic Acid {OAT} Test

Nutripath Metabolomic Mapping Organic Acid Test {OAT} is a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a overall health with over 70 markers. These include markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and oxalates, which are correlated with acute and chronic illnesses.

The OAT Assists in Evaluating:

Current vitamin and mineral status
Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and NAC
Oxidative damage and antioxidant need
Phase I & Phase II detoxification capacity
Functional B-complex vitamin need
Neurotransmitter metabolites
Mitochondrial energy production
Methylation sufficiency
Lipoic acid and CoQ10 status
Markers for bacterial and yeast overgrowth
Oxalate markers
Nutritional markers

Analytes:

• Fatty Acid Metabolism
• Carbohydrate Metabolism
• Energy Production Markers
• B-Complex Vitamin Markers
• Methylation Cofactor Markers
• Neurotransmitter Metabolism Markers
• Oxidative Damage and Antioxidant Markers
• Detoxification Indicators
• Bacterial Markers
• Clostridial Markers
• Yeast/Fungal Markers
• Nutritional Markers
• Oxalate Markers

We therefore recommend OAT if peoples health problems aren’t responding to the usual treatments so that we can find out more about what is happening inside the body and inside the cells.

The price of this test includes a 15 minute phone consultation with one of our practitioners to determine if the test is required before completing the order. We will do a cost/benefit ratio and review your symptoms. What we do know is that there is nothing quite like testing to truly reveal what is going on inside the body, and to add motivation to your health journey. Testing can direct a treatment plan, alert you to red flags, or they rule out anomalies. However tests do cost money so we generally only recommend them when indicated and after discussion with you, about the pros and cons of each test.

Tests are taken at home and kits come with a full set of instructions. Test take between 3 to 4 weeks to get returned.

Please note this test needs to be done in conjunction with a qualified practitioner and results need to be interpreted with a practitioner. We stock these on our website for information and pricing only. If you have a practitioner and would like to order a test please send us the name and practice of your practitioner before you order your test. Please also note we do not keep test kits in stock, any test ordered on your behalf will need to be ordered in and then sent. If you would like to order a test please book a 15 minute consultation with one of our practitioners here so we can screen you for the test and book a follow up for your results.
