What is an Organic Acid test?
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a urine-based test that measures certain biomarkers. The test gives metabolic insight into a person’s overall health.
It is believed that people with chronic illnesses, neurological issues, and other health conditions often excrete abnormal acids in their urine.

What does the test look at?
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a comprehensive overview of several key bodily systems and helps identify potential nutrient deficiencies.
By measuring organic acid levels, the test reveals functional markers related to micronutrient insufficiencies, toxin exposure, neurotransmitter and hormone activity, enzyme function, and bacterial or yeast overgrowth in the gut.
This information can guide targeted interventions such as dietary changes, antioxidant and nutrient support, detoxification protocols, oxalate reduction, and other therapeutic strategies.
As you’ll see, several of the results in this test correlate with findings from Alexandrei’s earlier methylation profile, reinforcing key areas of support.
We will review each section of the report in the same format used previously: beginning with a brief overview, followed by the lab results, lab interpretation, doctor’s comments, and the recommended treatment plan.
The test was ordered by Dr Louise Lindenberg and was done through North West University. This test was done in 2019.
The unit measurements used are as follows: The amount is reported as the concentration of the substance (as mmol or micrograms) concerning a reference amount of creatinine (per mol or per milligram) found in the urine. The concentration of creatinine is used as a reference for how much water the person drank, which can tell you if the sample is too diluted.
PLEASE NOTE: THE TREATMENT RECOMMENDATION IS STRICTLY RELATING TO ALEX’S RESULTS AND NOT MEANT FOR SELF-TREATMENT. ALWAYS SPEAK TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER BEFORE STARTING ANY TREATMENTS.
