KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Organic Acid Tests bring biochemical pathways to life and help connect the dots. Instead of directly measuring nutrient concentrations, abnormal concentrations of organic acids provide functional markers for the metabolic effects of micronutrient inadequacies.
Organic acid testing pairs well with other types of testing, like blood work and even genetic testing. By correcting or addressing these imbalances, we help the body's ability to heal and stay healthy.
As a practitioner, it's crucial to know how to do functional tests as part of your success and your clients' success.
