Mitochondrial Health

Meaning

Mitochondrial Health denotes the optimal state of function, quantity, and structural integrity of the mitochondria, the organelles responsible for generating the majority of cellular energy in the form of ATP. Robust mitochondrial health is characterized by efficient oxidative phosphorylation, minimal production of reactive oxygen species, and a dynamic balance between fusion and fission processes. This cellular vitality is directly correlated with tissue function, metabolic rate, and resilience against age-related decline.
