Mitochondrial function can change with age and environmental conditions. In this subcategory, you will find micronutrients with authorised claims concerning energy metabolism, alongside other substances discussed in biohacking, clearly presented according to their composition and form.
In accordance with EU regulations, we use officially authorised health claims for selected micronutrients: B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), biotin, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, manganese, iodine and phosphorus contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, vitamin C, magnesium and iron also contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B2, copper, manganese and zinc contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. These authorised claims apply exclusively to the specified vitamins, minerals and products that meet their conditions of use.
Ingredients discussed in biohacking and mitochondrial research include:
- Coenzyme Q10 – as ubiquinone or its reduced form, ubiquinol
- PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone)
- L-carnitine – for example, L-carnitine L-tartrate or acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR)
- Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)
- Urolithin A
- Standardised extracts of Cordyceps, ginseng and ginger root.
The biohacking ingredients and botanical extracts listed above are presented solely in terms of their composition, chemical form, concentration, standardisation and origin. We do not attribute health effects or medicinal properties to them. The authorised health claims stated in this category apply only to the specifically named vitamins and minerals, not to these other ingredients.
The inclusion of a substance in this overview does not imply its availability in our range or the authorisation of all its forms for use in food supplements.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
