Description

Energy is essential for maintaining physical performance, mental clarity, and overall well-being. When nutrient imbalances or deficiencies disrupt cellular metabolism, the body’s ability to produce energy declines—leading to symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and low endurance.

This comprehensive panel measures key micronutrients and metabolic biomarkers that support the body’s ability to convert food into energy efficiently. Results can help guide personalized dietary, supplement, and lifestyle interventions to boost energy levels and cellular vitality.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This panel is ideal for individuals experiencing:

  • Chronic fatigue or low energy
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Poor exercise recovery or endurance
  • Mood fluctuations or irritability
  • Nutrient deficiency symptoms (e.g., brittle nails, thinning hair)
  • Suspected metabolic imbalances or mitochondrial dysfunction

Purpose of the Panel

This test identifies micronutrient deficiencies, metabolic stressors, and immune imbalances that may interfere with:

  • ATP (energy) production
  • Antioxidant function
  • Mitochondrial health
  • Hormonal and immune regulation
  • Nutrient absorption

Key Biomarkers Measured

Micronutrients & Amino Acids

  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid – Supports mitochondrial function and regenerates antioxidants.
  • Asparagine, Serine, Glutamine, Cysteine – Amino acids vital for cellular energy, protein metabolism, and recovery.
  • Carnitine – Transports fatty acids into mitochondria for ATP production.
  • Biotin (B7), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), B6, B9 (Folate), B12 – Core B-vitamins critical for energy metabolism.
  • Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin D3 – Key antioxidants and immune-support nutrients.
  • Vitamin B12 & Folate – Essential for red blood cell production and neurological energy.
  • Magnesium – Required for ATP generation and muscle/nerve function.
  • Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Chromium – Trace minerals involved in metabolism, antioxidant defense, and insulin regulation.
  • Oleic Acid – A monounsaturated fat that supports sustained energy through healthy fat metabolism.

Functional Energy & Antioxidant Status

  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – Enhances mitochondrial energy production.
  • Glutathione – Master antioxidant that protects mitochondria from oxidative stress.
  • Total Antioxidant Function – Measures the body's overall oxidative stress defense.
  • Total Immune Function – Evaluates immune system status, which can affect energy if chronically dysregulated.

Metabolic Influences

  • Fructose Sensitivity – Assesses for sugar-related metabolic disruption.

Fasting Requirements

Not required. However, some individuals may choose to fast for improved baseline nutrient assessment.
