What is The Organic Acids Test?

The Organic Acids Test or OAT is used to provide insights into mitochondrial dysfunction, gut health (dysbiosis or imbalances in the gut leading to GI symptoms), nutritional deficiencies (vitamins/minerals), and various metabolic pathways which includes detoxification, energy production, and various neurotransmitter metabolites.
