Test kits can be shipped nationwide for your convenience
The DUTCH OATs (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Assessment of Toxins) test measures key neurotransmitter metabolites, nutritional organic acids, oxidative stress markers, and melatonin levels. This panel provides valuable insight into nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and oxidative stress, helping guide targeted interventions for optimal health and wellness.
This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
Biomarkers Measured
- 3-Hydroxyisovaleric Acid: Indicator of biotin deficiency and metabolic function.
- 8-OHdG: Marker of oxidative DNA damage and overall oxidative stress.
- HVA (Homovanillic Acid): Dopamine metabolite reflecting neurotransmitter activity.
- Indican: Marker associated with intestinal dysbiosis and gut health.
- Kynurenic Acid: Involved in tryptophan metabolism and neurological function.
- MMA (Methylmalonic Acid): Indicates vitamin B12 status and mitochondrial function.
- Melatonin: Hormone regulating circadian rhythm and sleep quality.
- Pyroglutamic Acid: Reflects glutathione metabolism and detoxification capacity.
- Quinolinic Acid: Neurotoxic metabolite linked to inflammation and neurodegeneration.
- VMA (Vanillylmandelic Acid): Norepinephrine and epinephrine metabolite, indicating catecholamine metabolism.
- Xanthurenic Acid: Related to vitamin B6 status and tryptophan metabolism.
