GREAT PLAINS LABORATORY – ORGANIC ACIDS TEST
The Great Plains Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides insight into the body’s cellular metabolic processes.
Organic 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.

- INTESTINAL MICROBIAL OVERGROWTH

TEST DETAILS:
- Test Type: Urine (first morning urine)
- Shipping: Use the FedEx shipping bag enclosed in the test kit and drop the package off at a FedEx office or call FedEx for a free pick-up. This test is available to practitioners in Europe via a 3rd party.
- Cost: $309 plus MDP fee
- You can order the MOAT (Microbial OAT) which is the first page of the OAT only for $219
- You can add the GPL-Tox panel to any OAT order for an additional $169 rather than full $219 list price. The addition of the GPL-tox will incur an additional $75 MDP fee.
- Additional Info:
- Avoid apples, grapes (including raisins), pears, cranberries and their juices 24 hours prior to specimen collection.
FAQ:
- Advantages of this test: This test includes oxalate markers, which are not found on the other OAT tests.
