We are just discovering the super powers of our mitochondria.

Although mitochondria were discovered over 100 years ago, scientists have only recently begun to decipher the many essential tasks performed by these impressive and invaluable organelles.

In addition to energy production and cell protection, scientists now know that mitochondria are more than just the powerhouse of the cell. They are vital for calcium regulation, cell specialization, DNA and RNA production, cell growth and cell regeneration. They send messages to the nucleus and other structures in the cell which modify cellular activities. The ability of cells to correctly “hear” these messages determines how well our bodies grow, repair themselves and fight off infection.

The world is waking up to the importance of the mighty mitochondria; there is growing awareness of how critical they are for life - therefore, we need to look after them as much as possible.

It’s no surprise that all the components of a healthy lifestyle – a good diet, regular exercise and adequate sleep – will certainly provide an environment in which your mitochondria can thrive. But it’s important to note that even if you look after your mitochondria their performance still declines naturally as you age. Therefore, taking a supplement that supports your mitochondrial performance is the very best strategy to help you maintain energy levels and support optimal wellbeing.
