  • 22 metabolic markers Mitochondria, citric acid cycle, vitamin status, neurotransmitter breakdown, gut dysbiosis
  • Causes rather than symptoms Shows intermediates of cell metabolism, not just end values
  • Sample collection at home No doctor's visit needed

Principle

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: first the lab report, then the decision.

Consultation to put the measured values in context
  1. 01
    Measure 22 organic acids from morning urine, analysed at the partner laboratory in Germany.

    See where you stand Every value appears in the lab report with the laboratory's reference range. You can see which values fall inside it and which do not.

    Targeted, not generic Instead of a standard package you take what your values point to — agreed with a practitioner.
    Initial consultation, 10 minutes, free

    Measure again after a few months The same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.
    Earliest sensible interval: 3 months

Ory experts are there for you

All along the way, doctors and Heilpraktiker from the Ory team are there for you — with your lab report and everything after it.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

Details

What this analysis covers

What is measured

22 organic acids as intermediates of cell metabolism — mitochondrial function, vitamin status, neurotransmitter breakdown and gut flora.

E408 Mitochondria & energy metabolism Pyruvate, lactate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, citric acid cycle markers
E408 Vitamin status & neurotransmitters Methylmalonate and xanthurenate (B12/B6 shortfalls), kynurenate and homovanillylmandelic acid
E408 Gut flora markers D-arabinitol, citramalate, hydroxybenzoic acid — pointers to fungal overgrowth or dysbiosis

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

The test suits chronic exhaustion and unexplained symptoms that may originate in cell metabolism — above all where weak mitochondria, vitamin shortfalls, disturbed neurotransmitter breakdown or gut dysbiosis are suspected.

What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical assessment.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

  1. 01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
  2. 02 Collect urine Morning urine at home.
  3. 03 Send it in Post it in the postage-paid envelope.
  4. 04 Get your lab report 7–21 days after the sample arrives, consultation included.

Instructions

The essentials first:

  • Collect morning urine using the container provided.
  • Close the sample tube firmly and label it.
  • Send it in the postage-paid envelope, as soon as possible after collection.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters: it is what allows your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – to be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Sending your sample back

So that your sample reaches the laboratory safely, please follow the rule for your country.

Family and partner diagnostics

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not reveal. We need three things for that.

Clear details per person For each person tested we need a name and date of birth, so the laboratory can match everything correctly.
An email address of their own Each person needs an individual email address for secure digital access. If that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to a shared address.
Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will receive your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private insurance

This is how it works with us if your private insurance may reimburse you:

01 A short online conversation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and put together a short medical history.
02 A referral for the relevant lab tests After the conversation you receive a referral that you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part — some do not cover it at all. That depends entirely on your contract. We will support you through the process as best we can.
