The most comprehensive biological test for mental health.
 
The updated OAp™ Organic Acids Profile is a comprehensive organic acids test that provides deeper insights into metabolism, gut health, mitochondrial function, and nutrient status. Featuring an expanded personalized summary page and nutraceutical recommendations, the OAp test clearly identifies imbalances in metabolic pathways and nutrient deficiencies. It directly supports targeted, actionable, and individualized protocols. Whether evaluating energy production, detoxification, or neurotransmitter balance, the OAp Organic Acids Profile enhances clinical decision-making and supports improved outcomes.
Frequently, individuals suffering from chronic diseases and neurological conditions show elevated or abnormal levels of various organic acids in their urine.
 
With 72 markers, the OAp Test evaluates several key areas of functional health, including:
 
Energy & Mitochondrial Processing
Provides insight into:
Glycolysis
Krebs cycle (mitochondrial function)
Fatty acid oxidation
Carnitine demand
Ketone metabolism
 
Nutrition
Identifies nutritional insufficiencies related to:
B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, and lipoic acid), vitamin B12, B6, folate, and biotin
Dietary intake markers (plant components and fructose)
 
Stress & Mood
Analyzes:
Catecholamine turnover
Serotonin turnover
Neurological inflammation
Cortisol and cortisone balance
 
Toxic Impacts
Offers insight into detoxification capacity and toxin exposure, including:
Oxidative damage
Exposure to xylene, styrene, and ethylbenzene
Glutathione status
Kidney function
Oxalate metabolism
 
GI Microbial Metabolites
Evaluates gut dysbiosis through markers related to:
Tyrosine and tryptophan metabolites (protein fermentation)
Polyphenol metabolites (saccharolytic fermentation)
Glycine conjugation
Equol production
Fungal assessment
 
Important: This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
