Unfortunately, aging cells have a diminished ability to produce ATP due to changes in mitochondrial structure and function — unless we intervene or support our cellular energy production.Research indicates that mitochondrial DNA mutations begin accumulating in individuals starting in their mid-thirties which contributes to the decreased energy that so many people experience with increasing age.
