    GlossaryMitochondrial Activity

    processes in cells that produce energy for various functions

    Mitochondrial activity refers to the processes carried out by mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. These processes include the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy currency of the cell, through a series of biochemical reactions known as cellular respiration. Efficient mitochondrial activity is crucial for cell function and overall energy metabolism, impacting everything from muscle performance to hair growth.

      Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.
