Organic Acids Profile Test Large

What Does the Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) Measure?

This test evaluates a broad range of organic acids across multiple metabolic pathways, including:

• Glycolysis Metabolites: Markers like pyruvate and L-lactate assess carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.
• Citric Acid Cycle Metabolites: Compounds such as citrate, α-ketoglutarate, and succinate help evaluate the efficiency of your energy cycle.
• Fatty Acid Oxidation: Markers like adipate and suberate indicate how well your body is breaking down fats for energy.
• Ketone Metabolites: Measures markers like β-hydroxybutyrate to assess how your body is utilizing ketones for energy.
• Neurotransmitter Metabolism: Markers such as homovanillate and vanilmandelate provide insights into brain chemistry and neurotransmitter balance.
• Detoxification Markers: Compounds like glucarate and pyroglutamate highlight your body’s ability to process and eliminate toxins.
• Oxidative Damage & Antioxidant Markers: Evaluates markers like p-hydroxyphenyllactate to assess oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.
• Bacterial Metabolism: Includes markers such as benzoate and hippurate to evaluate gut bacteria and overall gut health.
• Yeast/Fungal Metabolism: Measures markers like D-arabinitol to assess potential yeast overgrowth or fungal infections.
• Oxalate Metabolites: Markers like oxalate, glyceric, and glycolic assess oxalate metabolism, which can contribute to kidney stones or metabolic issues.
• Nutritional Markers: Includes key vitamins like B6, B5, B2, C, and Q10 to assess nutrient status and deficiencies.

How Does It Work?

• Collect your sample: This test requires a simple urine sample, collected in a liquid tube.
• Register your test: Register your unique test ID online for accurate processing.
• Send your sample back: Return your sample in the prepaid envelope for analysis.
• Get your results: Your detailed results will be available digitally within 15 business days after the lab receives your sample.

Advanced Testing Technology

The Organic Acids Profile Test uses Liquid Chromatography/Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a state-of-the-art technology that ensures precise and reliable results. This test provides deep insights into how your body is metabolizing nutrients, producing energy, and managing detoxification and oxidative stress.
