OMX TEST

Fasting Required: No
Lab: Diagnostic Solutions
Specimen: Urine, first morning void
Results: Average processing time 7-10 business days

Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.

Special Instructions: Avoid consuming fruits, jams, and jellies for 48 hours prior to collecting your sample. Urine sample must be frozen before shipping.

Description: The OMX™–Organic Metabolomics test evaluates urine metabolites, including organic and amino acids, to help practitioners unravel how patients function and reveal their unique ‘Metabolic Signature.’ Using a systems-biology approach, the OMX™–Organic Metabolomics test assesses biomarkers that go beyond the traditional lists of metabolites, offering in-depth clinical insight that enable practitioners to decipher perturbations within key metabolic pathways.

As a critical tool in personalized medicine, the OMX™–Organic Metabolomics test helps practitioners provide targeted nutraceutical, dietary, environmental, and lifestyle treatments to realign metabolic pathways for better health and improved symptoms.

Metabolomics, also called comprehensive metabolic profiling, evaluates patterns of metabolites related to core biological systems, offering insight into biochemical dysfunctions that may be of concern.

Organic acids and other small molecules are intermediate compounds that can define the efficient flow of pathways and substrates such as amino acids to reveal the level of inputs, which together establish the functional status of key areas of health.

Metabolites are impacted by many factors and can change in response to diet, nutrient status, toxin exposures, exercise, physiologic demands, genetics, gut microbiome alterations, or disease stage.

Metabolic analysis can help clinicians evaluate the function of key pathways to better target support.
