What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, or suspect nutritional deficiencies despite eating well. It helps identify metabolic disorders, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, yeast overgrowth, and how efficiently your body converts food into energy. Many people use this test when standard blood work comes back normal but they still feel unwell or want deeper insights into their metabolism.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your organic acid levels reveal about your metabolism, nutrient status, and energy production. These notes include personalized recommendations like specific vitamin or mineral supplementation, dietary changes, or addressing gut health issues like yeast overgrowth. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your organic acid levels over time using our trends feature to see how your nutritional interventions are working.

What's included in this test?

This comprehensive panel measures dozens of organic acid markers in your urine that reveal how well your body is metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and whether you have deficiencies in B vitamins, vitamin C, CoQ10, and other essential nutrients. It also identifies markers of bacterial and yeast overgrowth in your gut, assesses neurotransmitter metabolism affecting mood and focus, and evaluates mitochondrial function that powers your energy production. Together, these measurements provide detailed insights into hidden metabolic issues that standard blood tests often miss.

How should I prepare for this test?

Since specific preparation instructions weren't provided, it's generally recommended to collect your first morning urine sample for the most concentrated and accurate results. Avoid taking high-dose vitamin supplements for 24-48 hours before collection if possible, and maintain your normal diet. Follow the collection kit instructions carefully and ensure the sample reaches the lab within the specified timeframe.

When will I get my results?

Most organic acids tests have a turnaround time of 7-14 business days from when the lab receives your sample. This longer timeframe is typical for comprehensive metabolic testing that measures multiple complex markers. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is valuable for people with chronic fatigue, brain fog, or digestive issues that haven't been explained by standard testing. It's also helpful for those with suspected nutrient deficiencies, mood or focus problems, recurrent yeast infections, or anyone wanting to optimize their metabolic health and energy production. Functional medicine practitioners often recommend this test for patients with complex or mysterious symptoms.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you experience persistent low energy or fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, unexplained muscle aches or weakness, or digestive issues like bloating and irregular bowel movements. Other signs include mood changes, difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits, frequent yeast infections, or feeling unwell despite normal blood work results.

How can I naturally support my metabolic health?

Supporting metabolic function starts with eating a nutrient-dense whole foods diet rich in vegetables, quality proteins, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods and sugar. Ensure adequate intake of B vitamins through foods like leafy greens, eggs, fish, and legumes, and consider probiotic-rich foods for gut health. Regular exercise, quality sleep, stress management, and staying well-hydrated all support healthy metabolism and energy production.

What are organic acids and why do they matter?

Organic acids are byproducts of your body's metabolic processes that appear in your urine and reveal how efficiently your cells are producing energy and using nutrients. When certain organic acids are too high or too low, it indicates specific metabolic blockages, nutrient deficiencies, or issues like yeast overgrowth that can cause fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms. This test provides a window into your cellular metabolism that blood tests can't see.

How often should I retest my organic acids?

If you've made dietary changes, started supplementation, or addressed gut health issues based on abnormal results, retesting in 3-6 months helps track your progress and adjust your protocol. For ongoing metabolic monitoring or complex health conditions, testing every 6-12 months can be helpful. If your initial results are optimal and you feel well, annual testing is sufficient for wellness tracking.
