Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Mitochondrial function, neurotransmitters, yeast, and oxalates.
What this test measures
The markers
- Mitochondrial energy production markers
- Neurotransmitter metabolites (dopamine, serotonin pathways)
- Yeast, bacterial, and oxalate metabolites
- B-vitamin, glutathione, and detoxification status
When this type of testing may be useful
When fatigue, brain fog, or mood symptoms suggest a mitochondrial or neurotransmitter pattern that surface labs miss.

How results contribute to a personalized evaluation
Interpreted in context
Reveals cellular energy production, detox capacity, and neurotransmitter turnover — the metabolic backbone that determines how quickly protocols work.
Testing recommendations are personalized. Not every test is appropriate for every individual — panels are selected based on symptoms, history, and prior labs during your consultation.
Frequently asked
Common questions
Is this the same as a metabolic panel?
No. Standard metabolic panels measure electrolytes and glucose. OAT measures cellular metabolism.
