Mitochondria test · Vita Neu
Mitochondria test
in Cape Town.
A few minutes lying still while Vita Neu reads your brain, nervous system and heart. Your doctor uses it to estimate how well your cells make energy, as part of Baseline 360.
Included in Baseline 360
- Brain activity
Medical-grade EEG, at rest.
- Heart rhythm
Medical-grade ECG.
- Nervous balance
Heart rate variability.
- Cellular energy
Mitochondrial function.
- Non-invasive
No needles. Lie still.
What it reads
Four readings. One resting scan.
Central nervous system
Your brain, at rest.
A medical-grade EEG reading of your central nervous system, taken while you lie still.
What your doctor looks at
- System readiness
- DC potential
- Stabilisation time
- Brain activity balance
Why it matters
Shows how your nervous system is coping with the load you carry, from work and training to poor sleep.
Autonomic nervous system
Stress and recovery, in balance.
Heart rate variability: the small changes in time between heartbeats.
What your doctor looks at
- Rest activity (parasympathetic)
- Stress activity (sympathetic)
- Level of tension
- Beat-to-beat pattern
Why it matters
Shows whether your body leans towards stress or recovery, and how much reserve it has.
Cardiac system
Your heart, beat to beat.
A medical-grade ECG of your cardiac system, at rest.
What your doctor looks at
- Cardiac readiness
- Stress
- Resting heart rate
- ECG and rhythm
Why it matters
A resting picture of how your heart is working, and a baseline to compare against next time.
Metabolic system
How your cells make energy.
An estimate of your metabolic system, derived from the ECG: how well your mitochondria supply energy.
What your doctor looks at
- Metabolic readiness
- Aerobic readiness
- Anaerobic readiness
- Change since your last test
Why it matters
Low energy has many causes. This shows your doctor whether energy supply is part of the picture, alongside your bloods and lifestyle.
The experience, step by step
Lie back. We'll guide you.
No needles and nothing to prepare. You rest on the treatment chair while the sensors record, then your doctor explains the readings.

- Your doctor reviews the results alongside your bloods and history
On the chair
A few minutes, at rest
Quick, non-invasive and real-time. You simply lie still.
Over time
Re-test to track change
Your doctor may repeat the test to see how your plan is working.
