Let's take a look at the Vibrant America Organic Acids test. Now, this is one loaded lab. I we've got, I think it's over 70 different tests in one. Don't quote me. It's a lot. We look at everything, and I use this one with clients a lot of times when we're looking for fungal overgrowth, when I. There we go. My fingers backwards on the video here. When I working with mold and we're looking for colonization. So it shows some of those yeast and fungal markers, and you can see if colonization is happening. But it shows you clostridia markers and your hipuric acid if your gut bacteria is way out of whack. And mitochondrial markers. And it's just a. It's a loaded lab and really good. And the nice thing is it's a simple urine test, just like mycotoxins, heavy metals, environmental toxins. So here's what you're going to get. FedEx is going to bring you a box like this in the mail, ship it to you. Don't throw the box out because you're going to put your sample back in the box to return to Vibrant. Vibrant also provides the return bag. Whoa. Knocking stuff off my desk. Vibrant also returns the. Includes the FedEx return bag and packaging, and the return shipping is included. So you're going to make sure you don't throw out the FedEx packaging inside or the box. Okay, so inside the box, this is your urine test. So you'll see there's a paper sheet of instructions on the back. So pull that out first. Each of these urine tests have a few different restrictions and recommendations. So you're going to pull that out and then what's left? And don't throw out this bag either, because your sample goes back in this bag, which has that white material there for absorption. Hopefully you don't need that. And then there's also. Also watch for the sticker in there with your barcode name. And you have to put the collection date on there. So watch for those stickers. You don't want to lose it because that sticker goes on this tube. Okay, so this is the kit. You get three pieces. This is your pee collector. This is the one that you're going to collect pee in. This is the pipette, because you take it from. Keep putting my hands in front of my face. You take it from this one and you put it into this. This tube. So this tube is what actually ships your urine back to the lab. It seals up. You're going to fill it up to the max line up here and then this white area is where you're going to put the sticker that has your name and barcode and collection date on it. Okay. So the process is, and I have everyone do at least a 12 hour fast on any of these organic acids is nice because it's a fairly simple one. But what you do, I'm just looking at the sheet here, what they have you avoid is apples, grapes, pears, cranberries, as well as their juices or products, mushrooms and ribose supplements for two days before collection. And actually this is one that you don't really need to fast for. The mycotoxins, heavy metals and environmental toxins are all ones that you want to do at least a 12 hour fast for. But the organic acids one is okay. So you're not going to change a whole lot other than avoiding those food and juices and byproducts. So on the Monday morning, whenever you're going to send this in, always do it on the first half of the week. So it's time to get to the lab before the weekend. So you're going to fill this, you know, at least half full, two thirds full, with urine on the Monday morning, if you're doing it on a Monday. And then you're going to use the pipette like I showed you earlier. Just squeeze it in, fill it up with your sample and keep filling this one until it hits the max line. When it does, you're going to put the cap on, you're going to have your, your sticker that they give you goes on there. Then this goes back in your bag, okay. And the cup and the pipette you can throw out. And then that's going to get packaged up to go back in your box and back into the FedEx bag that they provide. And you're going to have to call FedEx ahead of time. So if you're sending this back on a Monday, call FedEx on a Friday or Saturday and say, I have a pickup for Monday. And that way you can have everything ready for Monday morning. Take a look at the return packaging. You want to make sure you can fill all that out or if you have any questions, you have time to give them a call and ask them. But you, it's relatively simple and your package, put it on the step or wait for them to come to your door and it goes back and it gets back to the lab in a couple days. And then within about two weeks we have, they email out a PDF of your results. So again, organic acid is a simple urine test. It's nice because you don't really have to, you know, get real finicky and stop a lot of things. It's, you know, a gut zoom or gut test. You're getting off probiotics and antimicrobials and digestive enzymes and can really mess with some people's protocols and schedules. But these urine tests, especially organic acid, is a super easy one. So if you have any questions, shoot me an email mattarmacy.com or use the contact form on the website here. But other than that, we'll be able to get this shipped out to you quick and only take a couple weeks to get the results and see what's happening. So looking forward to seeing your labs.
