The Organic Acids Test provides a snapshot of the metabolism, based on a comprehensive assessment of 76 unique urinary metabolites. These small, discarded organic acid molecules are by-products of human cellular activity, the digestion of foods, and the metabolism of gastrointestinal flora. Specimens from individuals with a chronic illness, allergic condition, or neurological disorder often have one or more abnormal organic acids. Some organic compounds are produced by an overgrowth of gastrointestinal yeast and/or bacteria species due to impaired immune function or exposure to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Identification of yeast or bacterial overgrowth, paired with successful treatment can eradicate or markedly reduce patients’ symptoms and significantly increase the likelihood of recovery. The Great Plains Laboratory’s Organic Acids Test is the most comprehensive test of its kind. It evaluates yeast and bacterial overgrowth, vitamin and antioxidant levels, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter levels, inborn errors of metabolism (including oxalate levels), mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, detoxification, and much more.
Organic acids are tiny compounds your body makes every day as part of normal metabolism. When certain systems are out of balance — your gut, mitochondria, detox pathways, or nutrient levels — these markers start to shift. By measuring them, we can identify root causes of chronic symptoms that traditional tests often miss.
From just a simple urine sample, the OAT can reveal:
Gut health status — yeast, harmful bacteria, mold exposure, and microbiome imbalances.
Mitochondrial function — how well your cells produce energy from food.
Neurotransmitter balance — serotonin, dopamine, and mood-related pathways.
Detoxification efficiency — whether your body is effectively clearing toxins.
Nutrient levels — vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you might be missing.
Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers — early signs of chronic disease risk.
Non-invasive — just a simple urine sample from the comfort of your home.
Comprehensive — 70+ markers give a whole-body view in one test.
Actionable — results guide a targeted plan for nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes.
Personalized — no “one-size-fits-all,” we tailor recommendations to your unique metabolism.
