Apples, grapes, pears, cranberries, and mushrooms (and their extracts, derivatives, and products) are rich sources of many organic acids, including malic acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, and quinolinic acid. If you consume these foods/ingredients in the 48 hours before collecting a urine sample for Vibrant's Organic Acids test, you may have increased urinary excretion of these organic acids. Consult with your ordering provider to discuss results and whether they correlate with clinical history and symptomatology, or may be more reflective of increased dietary consumption of these naturally occurring organic acids.
Do I need to retest if I ate apples, grapes, and mushrooms in the 48 hours before collecting a urine sample for Vibrant's Organic Acids test?
