The OAT Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers.  It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria.  Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.

The OAT Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.

If imbalances are detected using the test, recommendations can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification. Upon recommendations, clients and practitioners have reported significant improvement such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain.
 
The OAT is strongly recommended as the initial screening test.
