The Organic Acids Test (OAT) from Mosaic Diagnostics is a powerful functional health assessment that provides a comprehensive snapshot of an individual’s metabolic health. This non-invasive urine test measures organic acids, which are byproducts of metabolism, to identify potential nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, detoxification issues, and metabolic dysfunctions. By analyzing these markers, the OAT can offer valuable insights into an individual’s overall health and guide personalized interventions.
What Does Urine Organic Acids Test For?
Organic acids are metabolic intermediates produced by the body’s biochemical pathways. Their levels can indicate how well key physiological processes are functioning. The Mosaic Diagnostics OAT measures over 70 different markers across various categories, including:
- Gut Dysbiosis and Yeast Overgrowth – Detects markers associated with candida, mold, and harmful bacterial overgrowth that can impact digestion and immune function.
- Mitochondrial Function and Energy Production – Evaluates markers related to the efficiency of the Krebs cycle, which is crucial for ATP (energy) production.
- Neurotransmitter Metabolism – Assesses dopamine, serotonin, and other neurotransmitter metabolites that influence mood, cognition, and mental health.
- Oxalate Metabolism – Identifies high oxalate levels, which can contribute to kidney stones, joint pain, and oxidative stress.
- Detoxification Pathways – Evaluates how well the body is eliminating toxins through key detoxification markers.
- Nutritional Deficiencies – Highlights potential deficiencies in vitamins such as B-complex, vitamin C, and CoQ10.
- Fatty Acid and Amino Acid Metabolism – Provides insight into protein digestion, fatty acid oxidation, and essential amino acid status.
Why is the OAT Important?
The OAT is particularly useful for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, digestive disturbances, mood disorders, brain fog, or chronic illness. Since organic acids can reflect functional imbalances before they develop into diagnosable conditions, the OAT is a valuable tool for early detection and prevention.
Unlike standard blood tests, which provide a snapshot of current nutrient levels, the OAT offers a functional analysis of how well the body is utilizing these nutrients. This deeper insight allows for more precise and targeted interventions.
