人類身體依靠一系列的新陳代謝反應來維持正常功能。而新陳代謝泛指所有生物體內發生的生物化學反應，當中會分解和合成不同的有機酸，最後經尿液排出體外。因此，尿液測試最初是應用在初生嬰兒身上去了解先天的新陳代謝情況。不過，隨著科技日新月異，現在尿液新陳代謝測試亦可以套用在成人身上了。
當身體的新陳代謝正常及有效率時，有機酸「A」會被專屬的轉換酶轉化為有機酸「B」；而「B」會再被專屬的轉換酶轉化為其它下游的有機酸。在這個理想的新陳代謝狀態下，「A」、「B」及其它有機酸於尿液中會處於一個正常水平。若果身體的新陳代謝失常或不順暢，有機酸「A」便不能被專屬的轉換酶有效轉化為有機酸「B」及其下游有機酸，導致尿液中有機酸「A」水平不尋常地升高，但「B」及其下游有機酸水平不尋常地下降。新陳代謝失常有很多可能性，包括維生素不足、礦物質不足、先天性轉換酶異變等等。不管原因為何，一個準確可靠的尿液測試都能把不正常的新陳代謝呈現出來。
廿一世紀的先進科技已能準確透視到身體內新陳代謝的五大範疇。
1. 營養代謝
2. 營養輔因子調控
3. 神經傳遞物質
4. 排毒功能指標
5. 菌叢代謝指標
有機酸代謝分析提供了個人新陳代謝的基礎信息，更會點出新陳代謝的強弱，所以不論是健康受困擾或自覺健康的人，都可以透過測試，從新陳代謝角度更了解身體運作，更個人化地調整飲食、生活習慣，補充特定營養，達到最佳的機能。
Human body relies on a series of metabolic reactions to its maintain normal functions. Metabolism refers to all biochemical reactions occurring in vivo, which breaks down and synthesizes different organic acids in a designed sequential manner which is finally excreted in urine. Therefore, urine test was initially used on newborn babies to understand the metabolic status of the infants. However, with the advancement of technology, urine metabolic test can now be applicable on adult bodies as well.
When the body's metabolism is normal and efficient, organic acid "A" will be converted to organic acids 'B' by an exclusive converting enzyme; and 'B' will then be converted into other downstream organic acids by other exclusive converting enzymes. In this ideal metabolic state, "A", "B" and other organic acids in urine will be at normal levels. If the body's metabolism is obstructed, organic "A" cannot be efficiently converted into organic 'B' by the exclusive converting enzyme and its downstream organic acids, resulting in abnormally high urine "A" level and unusually low levels of its downstream organic acids in urine. Metabolic insufficiency has a lot of possibilities, including vitamin deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, congenital enzyme mutations, you name it. Regardless of what the reason is, an accurate and reliable urine test can reveal any abnormal metabolic status.
Sophisticated technology in the twenty-first century is now able to accurately show our body metabolism in five areas.
1. Macronutrient Metabolites
2. Cofactor Need Marker
3. Neurotransmitter Metabolism
4. Detoxification Markers
5. Bacterial Metabolism
Organic acid test provides valuable basic information of individual metabolism and point out the strength and weakness of one’s metabolism. Therefore, both individuals with or without health concerns, can, through testing, understand their body functions more thoroughly from the perspective of human metabolism, adjust their diets and lifestyles in a more personalized way and choose the specific nutritional supplements they need to achieve the best performance of their bodies.
