Succinic acid is a Krebs cycle intermediate processed by succinic dehydrogenase. Succinic dehydrogenase contains iron and uses FAD as a required cofactor. High succinic acid should prompt consideration of CBC, ferritin, and iron panel testing to assess iron status. When succinic acid is high, the article suggests magnesium, B6, iron, CoQ10, and antioxidants. Drax's high succinic acid result required antioxidants, magnesium, B6, iron assessment, and CoQ10 in his plan.
