The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behaviour disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.

Great Plains Organic Acids Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.

If abnormalities are detected using the OAT, treatments can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification.

Your kit is posted to you from the UK within 24-48 hours of ordering so you should receive your test kit within a few days via DHL. You can then arrange for DHL to collect your sample using the free returns service. If you are ordering from outside the UK we will ship via DHL or Fedex with return labels.

The kit comes with full instructions on urine collection and storage. We recommend you take your sample first thing in the morning. The sample comes with a freezer bag. Please freeze your sample for a minimum of 4 hours before you arrange for DHL to collect.

When we receive your results back from Mosaic Laboratory in the USA (approx 2 weeks) we will email you your PDF report along with our functional medicine advice to support your recovery depending on the support option you selected at checkout.

Specimen requirements are 10 mL of your first morning urine before food or drink is consumed.

The reason we ask for your first morning urine is that it is normally the most concentrated sample and has the highest PPM (parts per million). If you have bladder issues we suggest picking another time in the day but minimum requirements for an accurate result is 3 hours between urination.

Avoid apples, grapes, pears, and cranberries as well as their juices or products 48 hours before collection. Avoid arabinogalactan, echinacea, reishi mushrooms, and ribose supplements for 48 hours before collection. The reason we use Great Plains is for the high levels of sensitivity of their equipment. When you order testing through our website you will be asked to complete a form highlighting which supplements and medications you take so our functional medicine team know what your current protocol is and can advise / adjust as required.

Mosaic are the best labs in the world for this type of testing. They will immediately reject any samples not dense enough for testing and let us know. If this is the case we will send you another test kit.

No although we recommend not starting testing on children under 2. If the patient is young or incontinent then you may need to manually retrieve a sample via potty / bed pan.
