Mitochondrial Function & Cellular Energy
Mitochondria are the parts of your cells that turn food and oxygen into ATP, the energy your body runs on. This page explains the basics and how the Trifecta Metabolomics Assessment looks at energy pathways. It is education, not medical advice.
The Krebs Cycle & ATP Production
The Krebs cycle, also called the citric acid cycle, is the series of reactions cells use to release stored energy. The Trifecta Metabolomics Assessment measures organic acids that are intermediates in this cycle. A nutritionist reads those markers with you to see how your body is making and using energy and where nutrition may help.
In the Cycle
Fats and carbohydrates are converted step by step into ATP.
What We Look At
Organic acid markers, read together with your history and habits.
Interactive Krebs Cycle
Acetyl-CoA
Fuel enters the cycle from carbs, fats, or proteins.

Oxidative Stress in Plain English
Making ATP produces free radicals as a by-product. Your body balances them with its own antioxidant systems, such as glutathione.
The metabolomics assessment includes markers related to oxidative stress. A nutritionist uses them, with the rest of your results, to suggest food and supplement choices that fit you.
Do you experience an energy dip in the mid-afternoon (2-4 PM) that you push through with caffeine?
