What Does the Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) Measure?
This test evaluates a wide range of organic acids across multiple metabolic pathways, including:
- Glycolysis Metabolites: Markers such as pyruvate and L-lactate reflect carbohydrate metabolism.
- Citric Acid Cycle Metabolites: Compounds like citrate, α-ketoglutarate, and succinate provide insights into energy cycle activity.
- Fatty Acid Oxidation: Markers including adipate and suberate indicate how fats are processed for energy.
- Ketone Metabolites: Includes β-hydroxybutyrate to show how ketones are utilized.
- Neurotransmitter Metabolism: Compounds such as homovanillate and vanilmandelate reflect breakdown products related to neurotransmitter pathways.
- Detoxification Markers: Metabolites like glucarate and pyroglutamate provide information on detoxification processes.
- Oxidative Stress & Antioxidant Markers: Compounds such as p-hydroxyphenyllactate reflect oxidative activity and antioxidant balance.
- Bacterial Metabolism: Includes benzoate and hippurate, which are influenced by gut microbial activity.
- Yeast/Fungal Metabolism: Measures compounds like D-arabinitol, a marker linked to yeast metabolism.
- Oxalate Metabolites: Oxalate, glyceric, and glycolic acids provide information on oxalate metabolism.
- Nutrient-Related Markers: Compounds connected to vitamins such as B6, B5, B2, C, and Q10 can indicate patterns of nutrient utilization.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
