Organic Acids

If you’re looking for a broad assessment of underlying imbalances occurring in your body, look no further than the Organic Acids panel from Vibrant Wellness. This panel provides a detailed look at various cellular metabolic markers to detect imbalances, toxicity, and even inflammation that can all be the cause of your underlying symptoms. This panel measures levels of important metabolites related to cell and organ function which can indicate imbalances in metabolism, risk of infection, impaired detoxification, nutrient deficiencies, and much more. 

The Organic Acids panel is designed to take a broad look at multiple systems affected by inflammatory conditions. Consider this panel if you are experiencing gastrointestinal, neurological, detoxification, toxic exposure, or other inflammatory symptoms of unknown origin and want to narrow your clinical focus to which laboratory testing next steps will be most effective.

To prepare for the Organic Acids test, avoid apples, grapes, pears, and cranberries as well as their juices or products, and mushrooms and ribose supplements for 48 hours before urine collection. Fasting is not required. For best test performance, collect the first morning urine upon awakening. Do not collect any urine if you awaken and urinate overnight. Do not drink more than 8oz water 1 hour before urine collection as the urine sample may be rejected if the urine is too dilute. Consult with your ordering provider regarding whether to continue or discontinue any other dietary supplements or medications before your test.
