Longevity Now Offers Organic Acids Testing
By Savannah Bailey, Integrative Health Practitioner, Longevity Health Center
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
The organic acids test is an advanced, quantitative, at-home urine test that evaluates 76 organic acid metabolites, biomarkers that reflect key metabolic processes in the body. Since organic acids are byproducts of cellular activity, they provide unique insights into how well various systems are functioning, long before imbalances might appear on standard bloodwork.
What the OAT Measures:
The OAT provides quantitative data on:
- Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth: Detects waste products of yeast, fungus, and bacteria indicating imbalances that can drive digestive and immune dysfunction.
- Oxalate Metabolism: Identifies oxalate-related issues (often yeast, mold, or diet related) that can contribute to kidney stones, inflammation, and joint pain.
- Mitochondrial & Energy Function: Evaluates Krebs cycle intermediates and amino acid metabolites to reveal how efficiently your body is turning food into cellular energy (ATP). If your mitochondria are sluggish, you may feel tired, weak, or foggy no matter how much rest you get.
- Neurotransmitter Metabolites: Evaluates the metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, providing keys into mood, focus, and sleep regulation.
- Pyrimidine Metabolites & Ketone and Fatty Acid Oxidation Markers: Provides insights into folate status, cellular turnover, and mitochondrial utilization of fatty acids for energy production.
- Nutritional & Vitamin Status: Highlights deficiencies in key vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic pathway cofactors. Find out if you are absorbing and utilizing necessary nutrients from your diet.
- Detoxification Markers: Assesses oxidative stress through glutathione markers to understand how well your body is clearing toxins.
Who is the OAT for?
Everyone can further understand and optimize their health with OAT results. For anyone with the following symptoms, the OAT is an essential tool to help uncover root causes:
- Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, reflux, bloating, gas)
- Brain fog or poor focus
- Muscle weakness or fatigue
- Inflammation or joint pain
- Skin rashes or eczema
- Immune dysfunction or autoimmune challenges
- Headaches or migraines
- Mood imbalances (anxiety, depression, irritability)
- Learning or memory difficulties
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Poor growth in children
- Stone formation
- Unexplained or lingering health issues
Few functional medicine tests provide as comprehensive a snapshot of cellular and biochemical function as the OAT. Whether you’re dealing with stubborn symptoms or just want to optimize your health, the OAT helps guide personalized, targeted interventions by identifying dysfunctions at the root level. Since the OAT provides quantitative and reproducible results, you can retest in 3-6 months to measure progress and fine-tune your health plan.
At Longevity Health Center, we combine your OAT results with a one-on-one health coaching review by Integrative Health Practitioner, Savannah Bailey, ensuring you receive actionable steps to restore balance, boost energy, and improve long-term vitality.
