Mitochondria are present in all cells and are often described as 'cellular power plants'. This is because they produce most of the cells supply of 'chemical energy' in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
If the Mitochondria is lacking in essential nutrients the implications are far reaching and can lead to future health problems. Less than optimal functioning of the mitochondria affects the production of RNA which act as messengers for DNA which in turn impacts on a series of chemical reactions needed for good health.
Although we include a small amount of ATP in all Total Balance products this is just to help provide some stimulus to the Mitochondria. What is important is is that you feed your mitochondria with specialised nutrients to help it do its job. This is just one of the reason why we include CoQ10, Resveratrol, Alpha Lipoic acid and other nutrients as stimulants/food for the mitochondria.
