Why consider the OAT?

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a powerful, non-invasive urine test that offers a comprehensive view of

metabolic function. It helps identify underlying contributors to symptoms and chronic conditions, guiding

targeted interventions.

Key Benefits Include

Easy & Convenient Testing - Uses a first-morning void urine sample, making home collection simple

Highlights Nutrient Needs - Vitamins, antioxidants, and neurotransmitter precursors

Supports Gut and Energy Health - Assesses microbial overgrowth (candida, clostridia, mold), oxalate levels, and mitochondrial function for insights into energy production.

Reveals Internal Stressors - Provides insight into detoxification capacity, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter balance, and amino acid metabolism

Supports Complex Cases - provides practitioners with clear, actionable data

Who might benefit from this test?

OAT is a useful tool for health optimisation and to investigate contributory factors to unexplained symptoms, chronic illness, or persistent fatigue, brain fog, or neurological symptoms, offering a roadmap to targeted clinical support and symptom improvement, including conditions such as anxiety disorders, autism, depression, diabetes, insulin resistance or blood glucose dysregulation, digestive disorders, fatigue, fibromyalgia, neurological disorders, psychological disorders and obesity.
