Organic Acid

Organic acids are intermediate products in many metabolic pathways in the body. They originate from processes such as mitochondrial energy production, detoxification systems, metabolic conversions, neurotransmitter disruptions, or imbalances in the gut microbiota. The accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often indicates metabolic dysfunction or blocked metabolic pathways. Factors contributing to metabolic disorders may include nutrient deficiencies, inherited enzyme defects, toxic interference, or drug effects. Additionally, they provide in-depth insights into imbalances in gastrointestinal bacteria or fungi.

Mitochondrion functional

Inside our body’s cells are miniature energy factories called mitochondria. These organelles convert the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe into energy, powering the body’s various functions. Cells with high energy demands—such as those in the heart, brain, and muscles—contain especially abundant mitochondria. The process of mitochondrial energy production relies on the presence of many essential nutrients. When the diet lacks adequate nutrition, or when the body is under high oxidative stress or chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function can become impaired. This dysfunction increases the risk of numerous chronic conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and aging-related decline.

The important information provided by Cellular-META^® (Urine)*27 is as follows

• Evaluates four key metabolic areas: cellular energy production, vitamin B, detoxification metabolism, and nutrient balance including neurotransmitter metabolites.
• Metabolic imbalances may lead to a variety of potential issues such as fatigue, neuromuscular problems, headaches, neurological dysfunction, mood disorders, developmental delays in infants, personality disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, recurrent rashes, and kidney/urinary issues.
• Citric acid cycle metabolites can assess mitochondrial energy production. Imbalances in this cycle are associated with chronic fatigue, accelerated apoptosis, and unhealthy aging.
• Assesses whether the body has sufficient nutrients available for use. Imbalances in vitamins and minerals are associated with deficiencies in vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, magnesium, copper, iron, and various amino acids.
• In addition to nutritional supplementation, mitochondrial function can be supported by consuming superfoods—such as spinach, seaweed, camellia oil, green tea, avocado, and broccoli—that help promote energy cycle activity.
