However, mitochondria are remarkably vulnerable to damage. When compromised and functioning improperly, they can contribute to the development of numerous health issues.


Impaired mitochondrial function can lead to fatigue, memory decline, cognitive impairment, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, muscular discomfort, digestive complications, respiratory ailments, and an assortment of other symptoms. Additionally, it elevates the risk of chronic diseases in all their forms.
