Cellular energy and nutrients

Metabolomics (Metabolomix+/NutrEval).

Metabolomix+ reads the small molecules your cells produce as they turn food into energy. The upstream picture, in one collection.

By Genova Diagnostics · 132 biomarkers

Why it matters

Standard panels read concentrations. Metabolomics reads flow. The Metabolomix+ panel from Genova (also known as NutrEval) tells me how your cells are actually using the building blocks you give them — mitochondrial function, nutrient gaps, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter precursor status, fatty acid balance, and the heavy-metal load your detox pathways are working against. It is the single most informative urine-and-bloodspot collection available in functional medicine.

What I read for

Patterns across the organic acids that point to a specific bottleneck. A B-vitamin gap. A mitochondrial inefficiency. Bacterial overgrowth metabolites bleeding into the urine. Neurotransmitter precursor problems. The point is to localize the dysfunction so the intervention is targeted.
