Once a food is consumed, the byproducts in urine can indicate potential nutrition deficiency or excess (e.g., from supplements). This at-home organic acids urine test helps create a map of your metabolism to monitor your health.
Our expanded organic acids test of 64 markers checks urine byproducts that may affect your sleep, appetite, stress levels, dehydration. Unhealthy levels may indicate a need to change your medication and dietary supplements.
The At-home Organic Acids Test is easy, fast, reliable, and requires just a few steps:

The urine contains products from our metabolism that breaks down a wide range of foods, drinks, drugs, environmental contaminants, waste metabolites of supplements, and bacterial by-products.
Understanding these compounds can help assess the health of kidneys, bladder, liver and our overall well being.
If you suspect any shortage of specific vitamins, minerals or other nutrients, and are taking supplements for it, the Organic Acid Test is often the recommended option.
Although, many of the compounds in urine are poorly understood, they can be excellent indication to understand any deficiencies in your diet and optimal nutrition.
Because urine contains the signature of products you consume, it can help assess the concentration we have within us.

An easy, low cost method of measuring your optimal levels is by using a urine test at home, similar to this one. Simply order the test kit, collect the sample at home, ship it for free to our world class CLIA-certified labs, and find out your levels within days. Unlike a blood test, a urine sample makes it especially useful for those fearful of needles.
For a thoroughly detailed discussion on the human urine metabolites, please read this excellent review by The Metabolomics Innovation Center.
A: Except New York and New Jersey our tests are available in all 48 states. State regulations in NY, NJ do not allow us to ship the tests to their residents.
A: The kit contains a urine collection strip, instructions on how to collect the samples, and a form requesting basic information including date and time of collection. The directions are straight forward and easy to follow.
A: You will receive the kit within 3-5 business days with a prepaid return envelope (for shipping within US). After you mail us the sample and it is received by our lab, the results are available within 5-7 business days. We ship across the world and any address outside US but you will need your help for return shipping to our labs in US.
A: The report with your test results will be easy to understand and will have all the necessary details. It will mark your levels on a healthy range and will specify what are the expected low and high ranges. It will briefly discuss what your numbers mean and next steps you should take to maintain healthy levels.
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.
A: Measuring urine metabolites is still a new field that is being researched and documented.
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). Majority of the 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.
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.
This at-home urinary metabolites test panel can help you understand how some of the key byproducts of foods, drinks and supplements look compared to healthy ranges.
Long term presence of some of these compounds can compromise health, especially if you are taking certain supplements regularly. The test is an easy first step in understanding how your body is handling them and what lifestyle changes are necessary to maintain health.
If you are not at your optimal levels, this urine organic test kit is a great way to check the root cause of your symptoms and rotate or modify your supplementation.
Checking your levels of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is a key step in learning about heart, intestine, and liver health.
Better health results in better quality of life, and a test from RxHomeTest.com helps offer insight into various health related symptoms. It can also serve as a motivation to treat each of these symptoms and have a better quality of life.
