Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs when mitochondria lose efficiency, leading to reduced energy production and increased cellular damage.
This decline plays a major role in aging and contributes to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, and cancer. As mitochondria weaken, cells experience higher oxidative stress, accelerating tissue damage and overall decline in function.
Researchers investigate ways to enhance mitochondrial function to support longevity and disease prevention.
Exercise strengthens mitochondrial activity, while certain dietary supplements, including coenzyme Q10, may help maintain their efficiency. Optimizing mitochondrial health may slow aging, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and extend years of functional living.
