The OAp™ - Organic Acids Profile offers a detailed and reliable analysis of urine metabolites. Metabolites are the substrates, intermediates, and products of metabolism and can aid in a more thorough understanding of an individual's metabolic health.
OAp reveals specific patterns of metabolites due to the impact of diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, nutritional deficiencies, gut microbes, disease processes, and individual genetics. The OAp test presents analytes in an intuitive report format, offering clear insights into individual metabolic pathway statuses and dysfunctions.
The detailed report includes a summary of imbalances, specific intervention considerations, and personalized nutritional recommendations. This comprehensive profile delivers actionable results to help optimize metabolic health outcomes for your patients with a simple first-morning urine collection.
The OAP - Organic Acids Profile helps practitioners identify metabolic dysfunctions that have been associated with a wide range of common clinical symptoms and conditions, including:
Personalized Treatment Recommendations: Results can guide tailored dietary, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions, improving patient outcomes.
Specimen Type: Urine (First Morning Void)
This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
The OAp™ (Organic Acids Profile) is a comprehensive organic acids test highlighting areas of dysfunction that can be impacted by epigenetic, nutritional, environmental, lifestyle, and other key factors. This test has been updated to include enhanced glucose metabolism markers, detailed microbial health indicators, a cortisol and cortisone ratio for insight into adrenal function, kynurenine and quinolinic acid ratios for information about neurotransmitter balance, and urine pH for acid-base balance assessment. The detailed report includes a summary of imbalances, specific intervention considerations, and personalized nutritional recommendations. The personalized information generated with the OAp™ helps establish a patient's baseline metabolic status and supports customized protocols. This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
Hey practitioners! :wave: Join Dr. Cheryl Burdette, ND for a free webinar, "Understanding Immune Balance in Autoimmunity," on Thursday, May 7th, at 09:00AM PT / 12:00PM EST.
In this class, you'll gain insight into how gut health and immune balance may be connected, the role of key markers like Zonulin and oxidative stress indicators, and strategies to help support gut barrier integrity and immune resilience.
