Mitochondrial Respiration Support

Meaning

This is the clinical practice of providing targeted nutritional, pharmacological, or lifestyle interventions to enhance the function of the electron transport chain within the mitochondria, the primary site of cellular energy production. Optimal mitochondrial respiration is fundamental for generating Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the body’s energy currency, and minimizing the production of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Supporting this process is vital for tissue vitality, especially in high-energy organs like the brain and heart.
