Mitochondria
Mitochondria are known as “the powerhouse” of the cell. That’s because it is where the electron transport chain (ETC) is located. The ETC is where the final stage of aerobic respiration occurs yielding an amazing amount of ATP, which our body uses as fuel. Our bodies utilize this energy to power all biological functions.
Recent studies show that roughly 94% of Americans are in a state of mitochondrial dysfunction. That means that our mitochondria are not producing the ATP that they should be and our cells are running short on energy to fund all those biological functions.
It doesn’t do us any good to improve biological function, if we still can’t afford to run those functions because we lack the ATP. That is why it is essential to improve the function of the mitochondria and why we go to such great lengths to make sure that your mitochondria are functioning at a high level.
