1. What is mitochondria ?
Mitochondria are small, ovoid-shaped grains that vary in size and shape from cell to cell. Each human cell contains an average of 1,500 mitochondria. These are involved in several essential functions, the main one being the production of ATP (energy), and are often referred to as « the powerhouses of our cells ».
40 kg of ATP are thus produced every day by our mitochondria.
2. What are the symptoms of mitochondrial deficit ?
A decrease in the number of mitochondria will have repercussions mainly on the organs very « greedy » in ATP: the heart muscle, the brain, the liver... A severe deficit can, in the most serious cases, lead to neuropathies, myopathies or heart disease.
3. How to optimize mitochondrial function ?
To optimize mitochondrial function, it is essential to :
- Produce the maximum energy by adopting a healthy lifestyle and a balanced lifestyle ;
- Combat oxidative stress and inflammation with active ingredients such as resveratrol, Ginkgo biloba or α-lipoic acid ;
- « Nourish » the mitochondria with active ingredients such as coenzyme Q10, magnesium or group B vitamins.
To meet all of these needs, the THERASCIENCE Laboratory has developed many products.
