Mitochondria Dysfunction
Root of Many Diseases

When mitochondria fail to function properly, the consequences at the cellular level are profound. Cells begin to lose their capacity to produce sufficient energy (ATP), leading to impaired function and survival. Dysfunctional mitochondria also generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accumulate toxic metabolic byproducts, which damage cellular components and DNA. This cascade of cellular stress can activate harmful signaling pathways, inflammation, and eventually lead to programmed cell death (apoptosis).

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been increasingly recognized as a fundamental driver of numerous diseases. These include neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, metabolic conditions like diabetes and obesity, as well as cardiovascular diseases and accelerated aging. Understanding and correcting mitochondrial dysfunction is key to addressing these complex, chronic illnesses at their root cause.
