Bioenergetic Assessment

Meaning

Bioenergetic Assessment is a clinical diagnostic process used to quantify the efficiency and capacity of an individual’s cellular energy production systems, primarily focusing on mitochondrial function. This evaluation measures metabolic parameters, including oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and substrate utilization rates. It provides a precise, data-driven snapshot of how effectively the body converts nutrients into usable energy, often adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The assessment helps identify underlying metabolic dysfunctions that contribute to fatigue and chronic disease.
