Cellular Performance Substrates

Meaning

Cellular Performance Substrates are defined as the specific molecular compounds or nutrients required by a cell to execute its metabolic, signaling, and structural functions with optimal efficiency. These substrates include essential cofactors, amino acids, fatty acids, and key metabolic intermediates that fuel the cell’s energy production and biosynthetic pathways. Maximizing the availability of these fundamental building blocks is a primary goal in optimizing tissue health and resilience against metabolic stress. The clinical implication is that substrate sufficiency directly correlates with enhanced cellular function and longevity.
