Lab - Organix-Organic Acids Nutritional Test (Urine)

The Organix® Comprehensive Profile is a nutritional test providing insights into organic acids and a view into the body's cellular metabolic processes. Additionally, children's reference ranges are designed to provide more accurate pediatric nutritional evaluations. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows for individual tailoring of interventions that can maximize patient responses and lead to improved patient outcomes. Organic Acids and Nutritional TestingOrganic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Marked accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, or drug effect. Several of the biomarkers are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth. The Organix® Com
