My Favorite Antioxidants for Mitochondria 🧬

⬇️ WHY WE NEED ANTIOXIDANTS ⬇️

Antioxidants protect our cells from toxins and free radical damage, but they are especially important for protecting our MITOCHONDRIA.

(for those in the back row—check out my recent posts about mitochondrial function 😉)

The thing is that mitochondrial DNA is less protected than nuclear DNA inside cells, so it is even more susceptible to damage from toxins.

Here are some of my favorite antioxidants to protect mitochondrial function:

▪️ Resveratrol

▪️ CoQ10 (CoQ10)

▪️ Acetyl-l-Carnitine

▪️ Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)

It also helps to eat lots of fruits & veggies 🥦🫐🍅🥑🍋
