Antioxidants and mitochondrial function biomarkers help assess how well your body produces energy and protects itself from oxidative stress. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells—responsible for generating ATP, supporting muscle performance, hormone balance, brain function, and healthy aging. Antioxidants such as Coenzyme Q10, glutathione, and vitamins C and E act as cellular defenders, neutralizing free radicals that can contribute to inflammation, fatigue, cardiovascular disease, and chronic illness.

Testing in this category can reveal low antioxidant reserves, impaired energy production, increased oxidative damage, nutritional deficiencies, medication effects (including statins), or underlying metabolic or mitochondrial disorders. Identifying imbalances allows for targeted lifestyle, dietary, and clinical interventions—such as improved nutrition, stress reduction, optimized sleep, exercise, or supplementation—before symptoms escalate.

Biomarkers included in this panel:

Circulating NAD

Circulating NAD measures nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide detected outside blood cells in the circulating portion of the sample. NAD is best known for its intracellular roles in energy production, mitochondrial metabolism, redox reactions, DNA repai

Coenzyme Q10, Total

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone is a cofactor, electron carrier, and antioxidant. It is a critical component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria.

Intracellular NAD

Intracellular NAD measures the concentration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide within the cells included in the blood sample. NAD is required for cellular energy production, mitochondrial metabolism, redox reactions, DNA repair, and signaling path

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)

Dried Blood Spot

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in every cell. It plays a central role in converting nutrients into usable energy, particularly through mitochondrial pathways that produce ATP. NAD also participates in cellular redox react

Total Glutathione

Glutathione is an antioxidant, a type of chemical which helps to boost your immune system as well as prevent and reverse cellular damage. Unlike most antioxidants which come from the food you eat, glutathione is naturally produced by the body i
