Organic Acids – Metabolic and Environmental Pollutant Panel Test
The organic acids test is a simple urine test that looks at markers from various metabolic pathways. Organic acids are produced in pathways of energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal bacterial activity. Accumulation of specific organic acids in urine can indicate a block or inhibition of metabolic pathways, which may be due to a nutrient or enzyme deficiency, toxic build-up or the effects of certain medications. This panel also analyses the exposure to various environmental pollutants. By evaluating organic acid levels and pinpointing metabolic dysfunctions at the cellular level, a comprehensive, customised treatment strategy can be tailor-made for each individual.
