Organic Acids + Environmental Pollutants Test
Byproducts of foods, supplements, and unintended chemicals can be easily tested using a simple urine sample.
Organic acids part of this test can help optimize your diet and supplements (e.g., vitamins, minerals, neurotransmitters, antioxidants or bacterial / fungal dysbiosis).
The environmental pollutants part can help understand exposure to harmful chemicals (from diet, supplements, or other unintended sources). Many natural and synthetic chemicals can be toxic, e.g., plastics in household products, food packaging, drugs, pesticides, dyes, or cleaning supplies. Using a dry-urine strip, the test measures some of the most common chemicals (including benzene, toluene, styrene, paraben, lactate, citrate, & more).
Significant exposure to such chemicals is known to cause hormone imbalance, birth defects, and host of other problems.

What are Organic Acids and Environmental Pollutants?
Environmental pollutants are often consumed through the plastics in our foods or in drinking water. Organic acids are byproducts of what the body makes or those taken through supplements or diet.
Many of these pollutants are known carcinogens, may affect functioning of hormones, and even interfere with fertility and women's health.
The organic acids and environmental pollutants tested here are urinary metabolites that are products of metabolic breakdown from a wide range of foods, drinks, drugs, environmental contaminants, endogenous waste metabolites and bacterial by-products. The results indicate what we consume and how the body processes these compounds.
Which Organic Acids and Environmental Pollutants are Measured?
Why do we need to measure Organic Acids and Environmental Pollutants?
High levels of organic pollutants and compounds forming the urinary metabolites are bad for health and signs of potential future problems. They are known to cause serious problems including fatigue, dizziness, seizures, liver and kidney disease, memory loss, personality changes.

Q: Can I use my insurance to pay for the test?
A: You can use HSA (or FSA/MSA/HRA) accounts to pay for the tests since these are prescription tests (for further confirmation, please check the IRS publication#969). However, please ensure you are not going outside your specified max and min deductible limits. We do not have the capability to process the insurance claim. Since insurance plans vary for individuals we can not guarantee your HSA payment will always be processed by your plan. We suggest talking to your insurance provider if you have any questions.
Q: How reliable are my tests and how do I ensure my results are accurate?
A: Measuring organic pollutants and metabolites levels in urine is an emerging field.
The variations in results are mainly from two sources: the way samples are collected and the variation from lab-to-lab.
To minimize the first variation, we provide detailed instructions on how to collect the sample.
To minimize the variation from labs, we have partnered with CLIA-certified labs that are regulated by the states, as well as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Many tests from these labs are FDA approved to ensure they meet the proper regulatory requirements. Additionally, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) requires inter-laboratory tests to ensure the ranges established by each lab do not drift or are not out of acceptable ranges. This is done by regularly testing reference samples between different labs. Finally, the labs test thousands of samples for different age groups and health conditions, and have well established reference data to compare your results against this large pool.
Q: Can you recommend what therapy should if my numbers are high or low?
A: Unfortunately, no. As a lab test provider we can only test and report out data from your sample. We are not authorized to provide any medical recommendations. But we strongly encourage you to discuss the results with your doctor for next steps.
