TCA Cycle

The TCA Cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, is a key process in your body's metabolism that converts the food you eat into energy. It happens in your cells’ mitochondria, where nutrients like carbohydrates and fats are broken down. During this process, chemical reactions produce energy-carrying molecules (ATP, NADH, FADH2) that power your body's functions. The TCA Cycle also provides building blocks for other important molecules. It's a central hub that helps your body efficiently extract and use energy from your food, supporting everything from movement to brain activity.
