Organic Acids Test / OMX
A "Check Engine Light" for your Body
An advanced assessment that may provide insight into underlying metabolic and biochemical patterns.
What is an Organic Acids Test
An Organic Acids Test (OAT or OMX) is a simple test that looks at how well your body is working on the inside. Depending on the test, it may look at urine, blood, or both.
Think of it like a car emission.
When a car is running efficiently, the exhaust looks normal. When something is wrong, the exhaust changes and gives clues about the problem. Your body works in a similar way.
As your body turns food into energy, it creates tiny compounds called organic acids. These leave your body through your urine. By measuring the compounds, we can learn how well your "engine" is running.
By looking at these compounds, the test may help identify:
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Stress on energy pathways
- Gut imbalances
- Detox Stress
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Metabolic slowdowns
What Can This Test Help Evaluate?
Energy & Fatigue
May provide insight into pathways involved in cellular energy production.
Gut Health
May reveal patterns linked to yeast, bacteria, or digestive imbalance.
Brain & Mood Support
May provide insight into metabolic pathway associated to focus, mood, and cognitive function.
Nutrient Needs
May identify patterns suggestive of nutrient insufficiencies or increased metabolic demand.
Metabolism & Recovery
Helps evaluate how your body is processing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
