DUTCH OAT — Organic Acids & Nutritional Markers
The DUTCH OAT (Organic Acids Test) measures eight targeted organic acid markers from a single dried urine sample, providing insight into nutritional deficiencies, neurotransmitter metabolism, and oxidative stress — all of which can profoundly affect hormone health.
Organic Acid Markers Measured:
- Vitamin B12 marker: Methylmalonate — reflects functional B12 status
- Vitamin B6 marker: Xanthurenate — reflects functional B6 status
- Glutathione marker: Pyroglutamate — reflects cellular antioxidant capacity
- Dopamine marker: Homovanillate (HVA)
- Norepinephrine/Epinephrine marker: Vanilmandelate (VMA)
- Oxidative stress marker: 8-OHdG (DNA oxidative damage)
- Melatonin: 6-OHMS (overnight melatonin production)
- Neuroinflammation marker: Kynurenate
Who Should Order This Test:
- Fatigue, brain fog, or mood disorders
- Suspected B vitamin deficiencies
- Neurotransmitter imbalances (anxiety, depression, ADHD)
- High oxidative stress or chronic inflammation
- Anyone on a comprehensive functional medicine workup
Sample Type:
Dried urine — single overnight collection.
