Organic Acids Test (OAT)

from $470.00

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is an at-home spot urine test that reviews 63 organic acid markers across energy production, B vitamin demand, methylation cofactors, neurotransmitter metabolism, oxidative stress, detoxification and gut microbial patterns.

It may suit people wanting deeper nutrition-focused context around fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, digestive concerns, food sensitivities or skin concerns.

Choose your level of support below: the report on its own, a personalised video analysis, or a 60-minute consultation with a clinical nutritionist.

Results should be interpreted alongside your symptoms, health history, diet, medications, current supplements and relevant pathology.

Instead of guessing what your metabolism needs, measure more of the picture.

Fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, digestive changes, mood patterns and food sensitivities can involve multiple systems at once. The Organic Acids Test is designed to provide a broader urine-based view of metabolic byproducts that may reflect nutrient demand, energy production, oxidative stress, detoxification and gut-derived activity.

It does not replace medical testing or advice, but it can add useful biochemical context when interpreted responsibly alongside your full health picture.

Metabolomic mapping

Looks at organic acid byproducts in urine, which can provide nutrition-focused insight into how certain pathways are functioning.

Spot urine collection

The NutriPath test information lists this test as a spot urine collection with batch testing turnaround.

Broad marker coverage

Includes 63 organic acid metabolites across energy, B vitamins, methylation cofactors, neurotransmitter metabolism, oxidative stress, detoxification, dysbiosis and nutritional markers.

Healthy lifestyle choices including nutritious food and wellness planning

What makes this test useful?

Many people have had standard testing and still feel like something is being missed. Organic acids can help provide a different layer of information by looking at metabolic byproducts that may relate to nutrient use, cellular energy, gut activity and oxidative stress.

1

It looks at pathway patterns

Rather than focusing on one isolated marker, the report can show patterns across several metabolic areas that need to be interpreted together.

2

It may help guide targeted next steps

Results may help inform nutrition, lifestyle and supplement priorities where appropriate, especially when interpreted in context.

3

It can support deeper investigation

It may be useful when symptoms feel multi-system, unclear, long-standing or not fully explained by basic testing alone.

Best suited to people who want a deeper metabolic view.

This test may suit people looking for more context around energy, mood, cognition, digestion, nutrient demand and detoxification pathways. It is not diagnostic, and results should always be considered alongside your broader health picture.

Low energy or ongoing fatigue
Brain fog, poor focus or memory concerns
Mood changes or anxiety-type patterns
Digestive issues or suspected gut imbalance
Food or chemical sensitivity patterns
Skin concerns such as rashes, eczema or acne
Poor recovery from stress or training

A detailed look across key nutrition and metabolic pathways.

The Organic Acids Test reviews organic acid metabolites that may provide insight into energy production, nutrient demand, methylation cofactors, neurotransmitter metabolism, oxidative stress, detoxification and gut-related patterns.

Energy production

Markers related to mitochondrial energy pathways and the citric acid cycle.

Citric acid cycleEnergyCellular metabolism

Carbohydrate metabolism

Markers that may help provide context around carbohydrate processing and metabolic demand.

CarbsMetabolismNutrient use

Fatty acid metabolism

Markers that may relate to how fatty acids are being processed and used.

B vitamin markers

Patterns that may indicate increased demand for selected B vitamins, including B6, B12 and folate-related pathways.

Methylation cofactors

Markers that can provide additional context for methylation-related nutrient needs.

Neurotransmitter metabolism

Markers that may provide nutrition-focused context around neurotransmitter-related pathways.

Oxidative stress

Markers related to oxidative damage and antioxidant demand.

Detoxification and dysbiosis

Markers that may provide context around detoxification pathways and gut-derived metabolic activity.

DetoxificationDysbiosisGut markers

Your symptoms may involve more than one pathway.

The value of this test is in reviewing patterns, not single markers in isolation. Organic acids can help guide better questions about where nutrient demand, gut activity, oxidative stress or energy production may need closer attention.

Fatigue and low energy

May involve energy production, B vitamin demand, oxidative stress, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism or broader nutrient status.

Brain fog and mood patterns

May involve neurotransmitter metabolism, methylation cofactors, B vitamins, gut-derived metabolites, sleep, stress and current medication or supplement use.

Gut, skin and sensitivities

May be influenced by dysbiosis patterns, detoxification demand, diet quality, food reactions, barrier function and inflammatory load.

Why practitioner guidance matters with organic acids.

Organic acid reports can be detailed and technical. During a consultation, we interpret your results alongside your symptoms, health history, diet, sleep, stress, medications, supplements and goals.

This helps turn a complex report into more practical next steps, rather than a long list of markers without clear direction.

Personalised interpretation

Your results are reviewed alongside your real-life health picture.

Targeted nutrition strategy

We help identify food, lifestyle and nutrient priorities that make sense for your results.

Supplement guidance where appropriate

Supplement considerations are made carefully and in context, not based on single markers alone.

Nutrition planning scene with wholefoods, water and functional testing notes

Clear testing, clear results and optional guidance.

Your inclusions depend on the option selected at checkout, but every option includes access to the Organic Acids Test report and collection instructions.

For complex symptoms, choose the 1:1 Consultation.

The 1:1 Consultation gives you time to ask questions, discuss your current symptoms and supplements, and understand your results in the context of your real life.

This is the best option if you feel overwhelmed by complex results, have several symptoms happening at once, or want a practical nutrition and supplement plan instead of a report sitting in your inbox.
