Summary
Measure nutrients related to energy, mood, and detoxification.
Nutritional Test - Organic Acids
Organix urine testing shows how well your body uses food for fuel, how it processes brain chemical messengers related to mood, detoxifies substances, regulates tissue damage, and even shows the balance of your gut bacteria.
The report offers personalized recommendations for B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, and other nutrients that are required for your body to function at its best.
How will this test help me?
Organic acid testing results show imbalances that can be fixed with diet and/or supplements. This type of nutritional testing
is unique and offers more information than what you'd get from your conventional provider. Your results offer insight on:
Energy Production
With the help of certain B-vitamins and minerals, imbalances in your body's ability to produce energy can be corrected, giving you the energy you need.
Deficiencies
Our recommendations can help fill nutritional gaps despite a healthy diet. Antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, and digestive support included.
Toxic Exposure
Exposure to poor quality water, food, and air can cause many health problems. Knowing your levels can help you protect yourself.
What is organic acid testing?
Organic acids are naturally occurring and are produced when your body breaks down the food you eat. If certain organic acids produced during metabolism are too high or too low, it may indicate a nutrient deficiency or a build-up of toxins that could be affecting your body's metabolic processes.
Testing organic acids is a distinctive way of showing your body's needs for nutrients based on how it functions.
This is different from other nutritional tests that may measure the level of the nutrient but not show how your body is actually using (or not using) it.
You may have learned about the citric acid cycle in biology class. It's how our body uses food as fuel to make energy and happens in all our cells. You can see that all of the steps use nutrients like B-vitamins and magnesium (Mg) to work properly. Problems with this pathway can result in fatigue.
