What does Mitochondrial Support do?Updated 6 months ago

Mitochondrial Support helps reduce stress on mitochondria, which are the energy-producing structures in our cells. These mitochondria act like tiny power generators, creating energy but also releasing free radicals—harmful particles that can damage both the mitochondria and surrounding cellular structures, including DNA.


To survive, cells rely on antioxidants to neutralize this damage. While cells produce some antioxidants, they often don’t make enough to counteract oxidative stress, so they need additional antioxidants from our diet to protect themselves and keep mitochondria functioning properly.
