Chronically Ill Patients Want an Answer, Not a Label

Identifying the cause of chronic illness is the first step toward achieving a favorable outcome. Integrative clinicians rely on the Organix™ Profile to reveal the nutritional and metabolic basis of patient symptoms, just as traditional practitioners might use a serum chemistry to establish a diagnostic baseline. The Organix Profile provides a view into the body's cellular metabolic processes and the efficiency of metabolic function. 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 produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. This may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up, or drug effect.

Organix Profiles Include:

Organix Comprehensive* - The complete organic acids profile
Organix Basic - Great for follow up testing when dysbiosis markers aren't needed
Organix Dysbiosis* - Measures the by-products of microbial metabolism to access overgrowth and guide and monitor therapy

*Some analytes may not be reported in New York profiles. Please see Clinician Info and CPT Codes for details

From a single urine specimen, the Organix Profile provides important information in the areas of:

Vitamin and mineral insufficiencies
Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and NAC
Oxidative damage and anti-oxidant sufficiency markers
Indicators to assess detoxification sufficiency
The best functional markers of B-complex deficiency
Neurotransmitter metabolites to assess CNS function
Mitochondrial energy production assessment via citric acid cycle components
Methylation sufficiency status
Lipoic acid and CoQ10 sufficiency markers
Specific dysbiosis markers for bacterial and yeast overgrowth
