SAMPLE REPORT

1076 Brain Gut Dysbiosis-META® (Urine)

Brain Gut Dysbiosis-META® (Urine) The evaluation of 28 organic acids in urine provides insight into the body's metabolic function. These organic acids are acidic byproducts formed through the metabolism of neurotransmitters, malabsorption in the gastrointestinal tract, and the overgrowth of harmful bacteria. This analysis helps determine whether major metabolic pathways are functioning properly.
Normal metabolic processes require the coordinated function of amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, trace elements, and the digestive system. Deficiencies in substrates or cofactors may disrupt these pathways. Based on the test results, physicians can assess an individual's dietary habits and develop precise, personalized nutritional therapy plans to address metabolic imbalances.

Testing Content

Organic Acid 
Organic acids are intermediate products in many metabolic pathways in the body. They originate from processes such as mitochondrial energy production, detoxification systems, metabolic conversions, neurotransmitter disruptions, or imbalances in the gut microbiota. The accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often indicates metabolic dysfunction or blocked metabolic pathways. Factors contributing to metabolic disorders may include nutrient deficiencies, inherited enzyme defects, toxic interference, or drug effects. Additionally, they provide in-depth insights into imbalances in gastrointestinal bacteria or fungi.

    Inflammation

  • Headaches

    Early aging

  • Joint pain

    GERD

  • Autoimmune disease

    Dermatitis


The important information provided by Brain Gut Dysbiosis-META® is as follows

  • Understanding changes in neurotransmitter metabolism and gut microbiota-derived metabolites can help physicians assess the metabolic balance between the brain and gut—commonly referred to as the gut-brain axis."
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites serve as indicators of central nervous system function and are associated with stress, mood, cognition, and sleep regulation.
  • This assessment also evaluates gastrointestinal malabsorption and gut microbiota imbalance (dysbiosis). Addressing these imbalances can effectively promote gut health and help prevent or alleviate symptoms such as chronic digestive issues, common nutrient deficiencies, yeast overgrowth, cognitive impairment, gastrointestinal discomfort, and degenerative diseases.
