The connection between cellular stress and Mitoquinone，why it’s important to your health?

At the simplest level, a cell is a sac of fluid surrounded by a membrane. It doesn't sound strange, but what's amazing is that within this fluid, some chemicals and organelles perform special jobs related to each cell's function, such as helping the iris cells in the eye control the flow of light.

Crucially, our cells also take in fuels, like the food we eat and the air we breathe, and convert them into energy. Impressively, cells can function independently, generate their energy, and replicate themselves—in fact, cells are the smallest unit of life that can replicate. Thus, cells not only constitute living things; they are living things themselves.

Healthy cells age, repair and grow well, they produce enough energy to function, and they control your stress response to keep your body and brain running smoothly. So, how do you keep your cells healthy to ensure this all goes smoothly?

How can I keep my cells healthy?

Since the human body is made up almost entirely of cells, when we think of "healthy" living, we are talking about keeping cells healthy. So the usual rules apply: eat a balanced diet, maintain good exercise levels, don't smoke, make sure you get enough sleep each day, and minimize life stress (also minimizing the need for cellular stress responses), alcohol consumption, and exposure to environmental toxins.

But there are several steps you may not be aware of, and this is where we need to learn more about the wonderful world of cells. Because every day, stress can occur within your cells, which can affect everything from your energy levels to your cognitive abilities, how you age, how you recover from exercise and illness, and your overall health.

As we said before, your cells produce their energy, but what exactly creates that energy? Inside your cells, you have tiny organelles called mitochondria. They are very small, but they are responsible for producing 90% of your body's energy. That's 90% of the energy you use every day, including exercising on Monday, remembering to call mom, starting that 9 pm report you didn't want to write, and helping your kids get to bed without melting down. The more energy a part of your body requires to function (such as your heart, muscles, or brain), the more mitochondria its cells have to meet these high-energy demands.

As if that wasn't big enough, your mitochondria also help your cells grow, survive, and die, help produce hormones, assist with calcium storage for cell signaling, and have their unique DNA to help them perform their specialized functions. But unfortunately, these are tiny parts of your body where things can go slightly wrong.

What is cellular stress?

When your mitochondria produce energy for you to function, they also produce a byproduct called free radicals, a bit like the exhaust from a car engine. Free radicals are not all bad, and they do play some important roles, but if they accumulate in excess, they can cause cell damage. This is the primary cause of cellular stress in the body (other causes include environmental stressors, certain infections, and physical injury). Once this happens, your cells spend precious energy and time fighting off damage, or initiating cellular stress responses, and are unable to do all the important work your body needs them to do.

However, your mitochondria are smart – they’re called the powerhouse of the cell for good reason! They self-manage the accumulation of free radicals by producing antioxidants, which stabilize these stubborn free radicals and reduce the potential for cellular stress.

Your mitochondria don't improve with age. As you age, your body's antioxidant levels naturally decline, causing free radicals to get out of control. In addition, our daily lives expose us to more free radicals through stressors such as pollution, UV radiation, poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, smoking, life stress, and alcohol consumption, which makes it more difficult to fight against free radicals.

Cellular stress means your cells are under attack - this is where "aging and life" comes in. Every day, your cells are at risk of becoming damaged by the loss of antioxidants during aging and other damage that occurs throughout "life."

Why should you care about cellular stress?

This combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors weakens the cell's ability to cope. Instead of functioning optimally, our cells become increasingly stressed, meaning we are always in firefighting mode to keep our bodies functioning properly. For us, this means feeling more tired, having low energy in the afternoon, having trouble concentrating at work, feeling exhausted the day after a strenuous workout, having slower recovery from illness, and feeling or seeing the effects of aging more pronounced. In other words, it feels bad.

It makes sense, then, that if your cells are at their best, you will be at your best too. The trillions of cells in your body form the basis of your health. When your cells are healthy, a positive domino effect occurs, including stimulating your innate immune response, which supports the health of your entire body so you can truly live your life.

How does Mitoquinone help fight cellular stress?

Cellular stress occurs when our cells are exposed to factors that disrupt their normal functioning. This can include oxidative stress, which occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of harmful free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. Additionally, environmental toxins, poor diet, and even psychological stress can all contribute to cellular stress. When our cells are under duress, it can lead to a range of health issues, including accelerated aging, inflammation, and an increased risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Mitoquinone, a specialized form of Coenzyme Q10, has emerged as a powerful tool in the fight against cellular stress. Unlike traditional antioxidants, Mitoquinone is specifically designed to target and accumulate within the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of our cells. This is crucial because mitochondria are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage, and their dysfunction can have far-reaching effects on our health. By delivering targeted antioxidant protection to the mitochondria, Mitoquinone helps to maintain their optimal function and protect them from the damaging effects of stress.

As already learned, your mitochondria require high levels of antioxidants to avoid excess free radicals and stress proteins from building up and causing damage, but your body's natural levels decline as you age.

So just take antioxidant supplements? Unfortunately, many antioxidants are both difficult to absorb from the gut into the bloodstream and too large to cross the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is very selective for the absorption of antioxidants.

Our scientists are on a mission to overcome the challenges of effective antioxidant absorption. To do this, they changed the molecular structure of the antioxidant CoQ10 (which is naturally produced in mitochondria and is used to generate energy and control free radicals), making it smaller and adding a positive charge, pulling it into a negatively charged of mitochondria. Once there, Mitoquinone begins to effectively balance free radicals and help reduce cellular stress, so your cells (and you) feel supported. We like to think of it as nature’s masterpiece.

With the support of Mitoquinone, your mitochondria, and cells work at full capacity, including more efficiently naturally producing key molecules like NAD and ATP, helping cells maintain optimal health and vitality today, tomorrow, and into the future.

Mitoquinone begins working from the moment it is absorbed into cells, reducing cellular stress. The benefits are increasing every day as more and more cells are regenerated, resulting in better health and vitality. While some people will see results earlier, after 90 days your cells will be fully recharged and you will reach a tipping point where your body will feel energized, rebalanced, and refreshed.
