What Is The Organic Acid Test (OAT)?

The OAT is a powerful test used to assess a number of metabolic and biochemical pathways in the body to provide insight to physiological imbalances and nutrient needs. It is often an excellent first step in identifying the source of dysfunction by assessing many different areas of physiology, making it valuable for individuals navigating chronic complex disorders.

Gut Health

Assessments for candida, clostridia bacteria, bacterial overgrowth, mould and other fungal elements.

Neuro-transmitters

Markers to reflect dopamine, serotonin, melatonin and adrenaline/noradrenaline status.

Energy Production

Assessments of mitochondrial function, fatty acid oxidation and ketone status.

Nutritional Status

Insights into the sufficiency of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic pathway co-factors.

Detox

Measures to reflect oxidative stress and antioxidant capacities such as glutathione status.

Interpreting OAT Results

As chronic illness rates increase, more patients are taking self-directed routes to unravel their health conundrums through private lab tests such as OAT.

Some results of the OAT are easy to understand. Many are not, and there are numerous patterns within the results which can guide effective solutions when identified by a trained practitioner.

We have undergone specific training on OAT interpretation with a leading lab group which provides one of the most common OATs available; Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly known as Great Plains).

If you have OAT results that you need assistance interpreting, we can provide consultations to provide you with professional guidance.

Cost: £169

Contact Us To Enquire Further

Test interpretation consultations will focus on helping you to understand what your test results show and how that may be impacting your individual circumstance. We cannot offer direct intervention advice from the results without having conducted a full history as a patient with us, however, opportunities to do so further to your consultation will be discussed if it would be appropriate.

Want To Order an OAT?

The OAT is a test that we frequently order and use when working with patients to help them to identify underlying causes for their suboptimal health. If you want to work with us and look into whether an OAT would be an effective tool for you then we encourage you to book a new patient workup with us.

We cannot order an OAT for you without conducting a proper functional medicine assessment because it is important to understand the context of you behind the test results in order to create tailored and effective solutions. Furthermore, there may be other testing options which may be more appropriate for you than an OAT and we can guide you to spend your money more wisely.
