What Your Organic Acids Test Can Reveal About Your Health
What Your Organic Acids Test Can Reveal About Your Health
by Plumeria Wellness
At Plumeria Wellness, we love using the Organic Acids Test (OAT) because it gives us a full-body snapshot of what’s really going on under the surface. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, or just looking to optimize your health, the OAT can uncover hidden patterns that traditional labs might miss.
Here’s a look at what we commonly find—and what you can do about it.
- Candida & Yeast Overgrowth
Many clients come in with unexplained bloating, sugar cravings, or chronic fatigue—and elevated yeast markers on the OAT confirm our suspicions. If your test shows high levels of arabinose or tartaric acid, that’s a sign Candida may be taking up too much space in your gut.
What we recommend:
– Herbal antifungals (like oregano oil, caprylic acid, garlic, or berberine)
– Saccharomyces boulardii (a beneficial yeast that crowds out Candida)
– A temporary low-sugar, anti-yeast protocol
– Follow-up with probiotics to rebuild a healthy microbiome
- Mitochondrial & Energy Imbalances
Feeling tired no matter how much sleep you get? Your OAT might reveal elevated lactic acid, pyruvic acid, or Krebs cycle metabolites. That means your mitochondria—the energy powerhouses in your cells—need support.
What we recommend:
– B-complex vitamins (especially B2, B3, B5, B6)
– Magnesium, CoQ10, L-carnitine
– Alpha-lipoic acid and antioxidants to reduce inflammation
- Nutrient Deficiencies
Instead of guessing, OAT helps us see signs of low B12, biotin, or folate by measuring metabolic byproducts. These are crucial for detox, mood, and energy. - Detox Overload
Your liver could be waving the white flag if markers like orotic acid, pyroglutamic acid, or alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid are high. This may mean your body is struggling to clear environmental toxins or internal waste.
Support includes:
– NAC, glutathione, milk thistle, cruciferous veggies
– Hydration and sauna therapy
The Bottom Line
Your OAT results are like a map—it shows us where the blocks are and helps us create a customized plan. At Plumeria Wellness, we specialize in functional lab analysis and root-cause healing.
