Mitochondria | And Longevity

Mitochondria rely on a coenzyme called NAD+ to function. Levels of NAD+ naturally drop as we age, leading to a "communication breakdown" between the cell's nucleus and its power plants. Science-Backed Strategies for Longevity

Unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lacks robust repair mechanisms and sits right next to the "exhaust" of energy production, making it highly susceptible to mutations. Mitochondria and longevity

The link between mitochondria and longevity is a cornerstone of modern aging research. Scientists increasingly view these "cellular powerhouses" not just as energy producers, but as the command centers that determine how well—and how long—we live.
