Organic Acids Test

Organic Acids Test

An Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a comprehensive diagnostic tool used to evaluate metabolic functions in the body by measuring organic acids in the urine. These acids are byproducts of metabolism and can provide valuable insights into various physiological and biochemical processes.

Key aspects of an OAT:

Metabolic Insights:

Nutritional Deficiencies: It helps identify deficiencies in vitamins and nutrients, such as B vitamins and Coenzyme Q10.
Gut Dysbiosis: It detects imbalances in gut flora, including overgrowth of yeast and bacteria.
Detoxification Issues: It evaluates the body’s ability to detoxify and manage oxidative stress.

Health Conditions:

Mental Health: It can provide information related to conditions like autism, ADHD, and mood disorders by identifying neurotransmitter imbalances.
Chronic Illnesses: It helps in the assessment of chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other metabolic disorders.

Procedure:

Sample Collection: A urine sample is collected, usually first thing in the morning.
Analysis: The sample is analyzed in a laboratory to measure the levels of various organic acids.
Benefits:

Personalized Treatment:

The results can guide personalized dietary and supplement recommendations.
Early Detection: It allows for early detection of metabolic imbalances and potential health issues.

 

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides an accurate evaluation of Energy Production, Detoxification, GI Dysbiosis, Neurotransmitters, Methylation and Oxidative Stress. It has simply become my favorite test especially when correlated with the genetic data from ancestry.com   The test is a simple urine test which is not very expensive and it provides so much useful information.

If abnormalities are detected using the OAT, treatments can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification. Upon treatment, patients and practitioners have reported significant improvement such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain. The OAT is strongly recommended as the initial screening test.

Testimonial

"Dr. Michael Veselak and his spinal decompression clinic have changed my life in a way I never would have thought possible. Now, five weeks after I started my treatment, I'm back to my very active lifestyle. During my entire treatment, I've been completely medication free. I couldn't have done it without Dr. Veselak. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone faced with surgery as their only option or people that have chronic neck and/or back pain. This is an option you cannot afford to pass up." - Umrao M.

A Comprehensive Approach

As a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Board Certified in Integrative Medicine, Dr. Veselak has found that successful treatment is the result of finding the source of the problem, and not covering the symptoms with medications.

With all chronic pain patients there is an underlying component that must be addressed if the patient is ever going to respond to conservative care and live a life without medications.
