Description

The Organic Acids and NAD+ profile is a comprehensive look at cellular metabolism, energy production, detoxification and neurological function. These tests complement each other, and are suitable for investigating fatigue, cognitive issues, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and/or ageing-related concerns.

The Organic Acids test measures 50+ metabolic by products assisting the Practitioner in understanding key pathways in:

  •  • Mitochondrial function (energy production: citric acid cycle)
  •  • Nutrient deficiencies (B-vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids)
  •  • Detoxification (glutathione status, Phase I/II liver function)
  •  • Neurotransmitter metabolism (dopamine, serotonin markers)
  •  • Oxidative stress & inflammation
  •  • Yeast & bacterial overgrowth
  •  • Fatty acid and oxalate metabolism

NAD+ is essential for ATP production, DNA repair, neurotransmitter metabolism, and immune modulation. This test measures the following key markers:

  •  • NAD+ = nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, Oxidised form
  •  • NADH = Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, Reduced form
  •  • NADP+ = Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate, Oxidised form
  •  • NADPH = Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate, Reduced form
