Organic Acids Profile Test Large

What Does the Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) Measure?

The Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) analyses over 120 metabolic markers in urine, providing a broad overview of several important metabolic processes in the body, including:

• Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Function: Analyses markers involved in energy production, including the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) and the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids.
• Gut Bacteria & Microbial Metabolism: Includes metabolites associated with bacterial activity and gut microbial balance.
• Yeast & Fungal Metabolism: Measures metabolites associated with yeast and fungal activity.
• Nutritional Status & Cofactors: Includes markers related to vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients required for normal metabolic processes.
• Neurotransmitter Metabolism: Analyses metabolites involved in the metabolism of dopamine, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters.
• Detoxification: Includes markers associated with glutathione metabolism and the body's detoxification processes.
• Oxidative Stress: Measures metabolites that can provide information about oxidative stress and antioxidant-related processes.
• Oxalate Metabolism: Includes markers involved in oxalate metabolism, which may provide additional information about metabolic processes and dietary influences.

Advanced Testing Technology

The Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) uses Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a highly sensitive laboratory method for analysing organic acids and other metabolic markers.

By analysing over 120 metabolic markers, the test provides detailed information about processes related to energy production, mitochondrial function, gut microbial activity, nutrient metabolism, neurotransmitters, detoxification, and oxidative stress.

The Organic Acids Profile Test (Large)

The Organic Acids Profile Test (Large) is one of our most comprehensive urine-based health tests. It may be relevant for individuals looking for a deeper understanding of their metabolism and biochemical processes, particularly in relation to areas such as energy, digestion, nutrient metabolism, and overall metabolic health.
