Description

Note: This is the OAT from Mosaic Diagnostic (Great Plains Lab), not Vibrant America (Matt's video says 'Vibrant' from previous OAT, but collection is same).

An OAT (Organic Acids Test), simply put, is the measuring of your body's 'exhaust' to find out how your 'engine' is running. What we find in your urine tells us about the status of many important factors.

What do we measure in the OAT?

The Organic Acids test has 11 sub panels and measures data on 76 metabolic markers. The categories that we test are:

Intestinal microbial overgrowth
Indicators of detoxification
Mitochondrial markers
Neurotransmitter markers
Ketone and fatty acid oxidation
Nutritional markers
Amino acid metabolites
Oxalate metabolites
Glycolytic metabolites
Pyrimidine metabolites
Mineral metabolites

The data from these 76 tests can provide insight on underlying causes of health conditions. The test results can bring attention to imbalances, toxicity, infections, absorption, inflammation and more. Without this data, it may be hard to pinpoint where the issues are arising from in the body.

Who may need this OAT?

People with the following symptoms may benefit from the data found in an organic acids test.

Mental and/or developmental delay
Fatigue and weakness
Depression and/or anxiety
Dizziness
Mood swings
Difficulty concentrating
Nausea
Sleep problems
Slowed reaction time
Poor memory
Headache
Hyperactivity
Digestive problems
Abdominal pain
Unexplained weight gain/loss
Dermatitis
Immune deficiency
Anemia
Hearing, speech, or visual impairment

Why do people worried about mold use the OAT?

The OAT can offer great insight into fungal colonization in the body. Not just candida, but also some specific molds from water damaged buildings. If we see high metabolites of Aspergillus or Fusarium we know there could be a big issue with mold. We would then also complete a Mycotoxins lab to see if the body is harboring mycotoxins.

If there is colonization we would delve into anti-fungal herbal complexes while integrating a proper layered approach to binders.

Are there any conditions that commonly run an OAT?

This is a common lab for any chronic condition, including, but not limited to:

Lyme
Mold illness
Gut issues
PANS/PANDAS
ADD/ADHD
Autism
IBS
Crohn's
Colitis
Sleep disorders
POTS
Fatigue

And many more.

Sample collection tips

10 mL of first morning urine before food or drink is suggested. Patients should avoid apples, grapes (including raisins), pears, cranberries and their juices 48 hours prior to specimen collection. Avoid arabinogalactan, echinacea, reishi mushrooms, and ribose supplements for 48 hours before collection.

Avoid other moldy foods like peanuts, peanut butter, fermented drinks, etc.

Further instructions will come with kit.
