Endogenous Power Generation

Meaning

Endogenous Power Generation refers to the body’s intrinsic capacity to produce energy, primarily in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), through cellular respiration within the mitochondria. This measure of metabolic efficiency reflects the foundational vitality of an organism, impacting physical stamina, cognitive function, and hormonal synthesis. Clinical efforts in longevity medicine often center on optimizing this internal energy production system, recognizing that age-related decline in power generation is a key driver of systemic dysfunction. Maintaining robust endogenous power is essential for supporting high-level physiological and neurological performance.
