Bioenergetic Efficiency Shift

Meaning

Bioenergetic Efficiency Shift describes a fundamental alteration in how the body’s cells, particularly mitochondria, produce and utilize Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency. This term denotes a change in metabolic preference, moving away from or toward optimal energy production pathways. Clinically, a negative shift can manifest as fatigue, reduced physical capacity, and impaired organ function due to inefficient fuel utilization. Maximizing this efficiency is a key strategy in promoting cellular health and longevity.
