Mitochondrial Vigor

Meaning

Mitochondrial Vigor refers to the collective measure of optimal mitochondrial health, encompassing high organelle density, efficient cristae morphology, robust electron transport chain activity, and a high rate of biogenesis. It is a key determinant of cellular energy production, specifically Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, and is intrinsically linked to the functional capacity of all high-energy-demand tissues and organs. Diminished vigor is a well-established hallmark of cellular aging and chronic disease, indicating a decline in the cell’s ability to meet its energetic demands. Enhancing this vigor is a central focus of longevity and performance-based health protocols.
