Mitochondria are also called the powerhouse of the cell.
This common name comes from its important function,
namely the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the
universal energy source for all cells.
If their function is restricted, this can lead to impairments in the organism. Mitochondrial analysis of cell metabolism products allows conclusions to be drawn about functional limitations and performance losses of the mitochondria and their treatment.
Urine or blood samples are sent to a laboratory. After the test material has been analyzed, appropriate therapy is carried out if necessary. This usually consists of nutritional supplements (e.g. vitamins and minerals) and individually tailored nutritional advice.
