What is an organic acids test?

Organix® measures organic acids in urine — metabolites that reveal how well your body produces energy, manages oxidative stress and performs methylation. It is a functional test that identifies disturbances in mitochondrial function, B-vitamin deficiency and toxic exposure.

What is the difference between Organix and a standard urine test?

Standard urine tests check kidney function and infection. Organix measures 70+ metabolites linked to energy production (the citric acid cycle), neurotransmitter function, detoxification and methylation — disturbances that are invisible in routine panels.

Who needs an Organix test?

Organix is indicated in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, brain fog, ADHD, migraine, chemical sensitivity and autoimmunity. It is particularly valuable when standard investigations return no answers.

How do you collect the Organix sample?

Organix requires a first-morning urine sample. The test kit is sent to your home with instructions and a prepaid return envelope to the Genova laboratory.

How much does an Organix test cost?

Organix® is priced at SEK 5,600 at MediBalans, the official Swedish Genova distributor. The price includes the test kit, analysis and physician interpretation.

Global Constraint Rule

Why energy metabolism must be measured

At MediBalans, Organix is never read as a standalone report. It is one of the diagnostic layers that reveals how mitochondria are actually functioning — and whether cellular energy production is constrained by toxic burden, methylation failure or substrate deficiency.

Organic acids in urine are metabolic end-products that reveal bottlenecks in the citric acid cycle, carnitine transport and detoxification capacity. These findings determine which intervention to prioritise — before supplements, dietary or hormonal protocols begin.

GCR — The role of metabolomics in the constraint hierarchy

FIGLU excretion in Organix confirms folate deficiency in the methylation pathway. Elevated methylmalonic acid indicates functional B12 deficiency inside cells — invisible in serum B12. These markers determine whether methylation failure is the primary constraint in the patient.

GCR Protocol · Three diagnostic layers

Organix is always interpreted in context with CMA and WGS

CMA intracellular nutrient analysis confirms whether the specific cofactors Organix identifies as depleted — magnesium, carnitine, CoQ10, B-vitamins — are actually low inside the cells. Serum levels are insufficient.

Organix Organic Acids Test maps energy production bottlenecks, methylation efficiency and the metabolic footprint of toxic burden. Provides the functional picture of cellular metabolism.

WGS genomic analysis reveals genetic variants in MTHFR, MTR, MTRR and CBS that explain why methylation is structurally impaired — not just functionally. The combination gives cause and consequence.

What It Measures

Three clinical measurement domains

Domain 01 · Energy

Mitochondrial Function

The citric acid cycle and ATP production are measured via organic acids including citrate, succinate, fumarate and malate. Deviations identify specific bottlenecks in mitochondrial energy production and carnitine transport.

Domain 02 · Detoxification

Toxic Exposure

Organic acids from environmental toxins and endogenous toxic production measure the body's detoxification burden. Identifies neurotoxic metabolites affecting cognition, sleep quality and neuropsychiatric function.

Domain 03 · Methylation

Methylation Status

FIGLU, methylmalonic acid and xanthurenic acid measure methylation and B-vitamin status in functional context. Reveals methylation impairment invisible in standard tests.

Sample Report

What your results look like

The Organix report provides a visual overview of your cellular metabolism across three clinical domains — each with reference values and clinical commentary.

GCR Protocol

How we work with Organix findings

Organix results are the entry point to a metabolic protocol that identifies the correct sequence of interventions based on actual bottlenecks in energy production.

Clinical Consultation & GCR Prioritisation

45-minute review of symptom picture and clinical prioritisation. The GCR framework determines whether Organix is the primary investigation or whether parallel analyses are indicated. Fatigue, brain fog and ADHD symptoms always warrant metabolomics as an early investigation.

Multi-Layer Analysis & Interpretation

Organix is interpreted by Dr Mario Anthis in context with CMA and WGS data. Elevated methylmalonic acid is cross-referenced against intracellular B12 (CMA). Mitochondrial bottlenecks are linked to genetic variants in energy metabolism genes (WGS).

Multi-Layer AnalysisGCR HierarchyPrioritisation

Targeted Metabolic Intervention

Based on the GCR hierarchy a metabolic protocol is designed: targeted mitochondrial support (CoQ10, carnitine, magnesium) based on specific Organix findings, methylation correction (methylfolate, methyl-B12) if FIGLU and MMA are elevated, detoxification support for toxic burden. Follow-up after 3–6 months.

Questions

Organix® explained

Organix measures organic acids in urine — metabolic end-products that reveal how efficiently cells produce energy. The test covers the citric acid cycle and mitochondrial function, methylation (FIGLU, methylmalonic acid), neurotransmitter metabolism, gut microbial activity and toxic burden. It provides a functional picture of cellular metabolism invisible in standard blood tests.

Standard tests measure serum and plasma levels — what circulates in the blood. Organix measures metabolic end-products in urine — what cells actually do with the nutrients they receive. Functional B12 deficiency is invisible in serum B12 but produces elevated methylmalonic acid in Organix. Mitochondrial dysfunction is invisible in standard biochemistry but produces specific organic acid profiles in Organix.

Organix is indicated for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, brain fog, ADHD, migraine, autoimmune conditions and sleep disorders — all conditions where mitochondrial function, methylation or toxic burden may be underlying factors. It is particularly valuable when standard investigation has not provided answers.

Organix uses home urine collection. The kit is shipped to your address with detailed instructions. The sample is collected in the morning and sent directly to Genova's laboratory with the prepaid return envelope. No dietary restrictions are required, but alcohol and intense exercise should be avoided 24 hours before collection.
