The Organic Acids Test (OAT) + GPL-TOX Profile Combo allows you to identify not only the entry point of toxins but their effect on the body. You can test for over 173 different chemicals including organophosphate pesticides, phthalates, benzene, xylene, vinyl chloride, pyrethrin insecticides, and others. This profile also includes Tiglylglycine (TG), a marker for mitochondrial disorders resulting from mutations of mitochondrial DNA. Combined with the Organic Acids Test, a more complete picture of toxic chemical exposure can be assessed.
Urine: 20ml (10ml per test) of first morning urine before food or drink is suggested. Patients should avoid apples, grapes (including raisins), pears, cranberries and their juices 48 hours prior to specimen collection.
Avoid arabinogalactan, echinacea, reishi mushrooms, and ribose supplements for 48 hours before collection.
