Sample report
Special Instructions: It is not necessary to discontinue nutritional supplements prior to this specimen collection. Abnormalities that may be found will reveal special needs that have not been met by recent dietary and supplemental intake.
This package DOES NOT include any supplements or follow-up support after the initial consult. If you require a full service package inclusive of supplements and follow-up support, Dr. Gupta's Signature Gut and Hormone Restore program is more suited for your needs.
Decrease fluid intake to avoid excessive dilution of the urine:
- For adults, restrict intake to three 8 oz. glasses or less for 24 hours
- Make sure that no more than 8 oz. of this is consumed after 8:00 PM the evening prior to urine collection

Results: 14-21 Business Days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Description: The Organic Acids Profile is a nutritional test providing insights into organic acids and a view into the body's cellular metabolic processes. Additionally, children's reference ranges are designed to provide more accurate pediatric nutritional evaluations. Identifying metabolic blocks that can be treated nutritionally allows individual tailoring of interventions that maximize patient responses and lead to improved patient outcomes.
Organic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Marked accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. Several of the biomarkers are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth.
Who Can Benefit from the Organic Acids Profile?
The Organic Acids Profile helps practitioners quickly identify dysfunctions that have been associated with a wide range of conditions. Metabolomics Research Has Evaluated the Following Conditions Associated With Organic Acid Testing:
Dysmetabolism, prediabetes, and diabetes
Weight changes and obesity
