The OAT provides insights into several key areas of health:

• Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth: Evaluates for candida, clostridia bacteria toxins, mold exposure, and gut dysbiosis.

• Oxalate Metabolites: Measures oxalate levels from dietary or microbial sources, which can impact kidney health and inflammation.

• Mitochondrial Markers: Assesses energy production efficiency and mitochondrial function.

• Neurotransmitter Metabolites: Evaluates pathways related to mood, focus, and cognitive health.

• Detoxification Indicators: Measures oxidative stress and detoxification capacity via glutathione and methylation pathways.

• Nutritional Markers: Identifies deficiencies in essential vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic cofactors.

• Mineral Metabolism: Provides insights into phosphate intake and vitamin D status.

• Comprehensive and Actionable Insights: The OAT measures 76 organic acids, providing a detailed assessment of key metabolic pathways. Results are categorised into clinically useful sections, making it easy to identify imbalances and implement targeted interventions.

• Convenient and Non-Invasive Testing: The OAT uses a simple urine sample that can be collected at home, offering a client-friendly and stress-free testing experience.

• Expert Guidance: A one-on-one consultation with a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner ensures you fully understand your results and receive the support you need to take actionable steps to address your unique metabolic needs, nutrient deficiencies, and detoxification capacity.

This test is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Digestive Disorders: Gastrointestinal dysbiosis, candida overgrowth, or mold exposure.

• Mood and Cognitive Changes: Anxiety, depression, brain fog, or other neurological concerns.

• Fatigue and Energy Issues: Persistent fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, or low energy levels.

• Nutritional Deficiencies: Suspected deficiencies in essential vitamins, antioxidants, or metabolic cofactors.

• Oxalate-Related Symptoms: Kidney stones, vulvodynia, or inflammation linked to high oxalate levels.

• Chronic Stress and Detoxification Needs: Oxidative stress, poor detox capacity, or glutathione imbalances.

• Proactive Health: For those looking to optimise metabolic pathways, improve energy production, and address underlying imbalances before symptoms arise.
