3301 Organix Comprehensive Profile - Urine (mmol/mol creatinine)

Phenylacetate

Optimal Result: 0 - 0.12 mmol/mol creatinine.

Phenylacetate is produced from bacterial degradation of unabsorbed phenylalanine.

In health, beneficial intestinal bacteria produce some B-vitamins and provide stimulus for proper immune function. However, if your stomach acid is not adequate, if you fail to digest protein, or if your diet does not supply sufficient fiber, the resulting overgrowth of unfavorable bacteria can release toxic products that your body must remove. These toxic products include: Phenylacetate.

What does it mean if your Phenylacetate result is too high?

Elevated Phenylacetate in the urine suggests incomplete digestion and absorption of phenylalanine in the intestine, allowing colonic bacteria to convert phenylalanine to Phenylacetate. Elevations may also reflect an overgrowth of bacteria, which convert phenylalanine to Phenylacetate.

Dietary polyphenols may also contribute to Phenylacetate elevation.

Clinical Associations: There is a clinical correlation between decreased urinary PAA and depressive symptoms.

----------------

Possible causes:
• Malabsorption of phenylalanine
• Hypochlorhydria and/or Clostridia overgrowth

Additional investigations if high:

• Investigate possible causes of malabsorption
• IP
• IgG Food Sensitivity
• CDSA

Treatment considerations if high:

• Mucosal support
• Elimination diet
• Betaine HCl
• Digestive enzymes

Your potential to benefit from consuming extra sources of favorable organisms (called probiotics) may go up as the number of toxic compounds and their concentrations increase.
