Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT)

Follow-Up to the OAT

Organic acids are substances that result from the metabolic processes in your body. Analyzing these metabolites from different metabolic pathways can immediately provide insight into important areas related to gut health. The Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT), included in the Organic Acids Test (OAT), specifically measures the metabolites produced by yeast and bacteria. Elevated values in the MOAT may indicate yeast or bacterial dysbiosis.

The MOAT is particularly useful as a follow-up to the OAT and may be recommended by practitioners looking for a specific abnormality, to monitor certain microbial balances, or to assess treatment efficacy. However, we strongly recommend that the full OAT be performed as the initial screening test.
