Improved mitochondria function means improved energy conversion (in other words greater ATP with less calories)...that seems pretty useful all by itself. Improving ATP efficiency is huge... i agree with you it may not mean stronger bones and more elastic skin...but we do know aging (less elastic skin and weaker bones) is related to the bodies breakdown in ATP supply/demand/conversion. I just don’t think you can gloss…

No, you are extrapolating that based off your understanding. Improved mitochondria might...mean nothing. In cancer, we see all the time the ability to get a cell we know is important into a tumor does not, necessarily, associate with clinical benefit. The same goes here. The ability to improve one small piece of biology does not mean, necessarily, that you will see a larger, emergent effect. Biology is much more comp…

No...there are numerous studies on the proven benefits of improved mitochondrial function/capacity. One of the benefits is cellular anti-aging.

Citation needed.

Also, you’re assuming that “cellular anti-aging” is good for your health. You could be right, but you could be wrong.
