Frequently Asked Questions
How does mitochondrial dysfunction cause aging?
Mitochondria accumulate damage over time — from reactive oxygen species (ROS), mtDNA mutations, and impaired quality control. Dysfunctional mitochondria produce less ATP, generate more ROS, trigger NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and release cytochrome c that initiates apoptosis. By age 70, mitochondrial efficiency may be 50% lower than at age 20.
What is mitophagy and how does it slow aging?
Mitophagy is selective autophagy of damaged mitochondria — the cellular equivalent of replacing old batteries. It’s triggered by fasting, exercise, and urolithin A. When mitophagy declines with age, defective mitochondria accumulate, accelerating the energy crisis of aging. Restoring mitophagy is one of the most direct anti-aging interventions available.
What supplements improve mitochondrial function?
Tier 1: CoQ10 (ubiquinol form, 200-400mg), NAD+ precursors (NMN or NR). Tier 2: Urolithin A (500mg — activates mitophagy), PQQ (20mg — stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis), Alpha-lipoic acid. Tier 3: MitoQ (mitochondria-targeted antioxidant), Berberine (AMPK activation).
