The Essentials On Mitochondrial Vitamins

By Tracie Knight


The global health research shows that most people do not have sufficient intake and access to Vitamin D. Deficiency in affected individuals are characterized with rickets formation and muscle strains. The mitochondrial vitamins C and D are fundamental remedy for such patients. The vitamin D is gotten mostly from sun energy. It aids in bone formation thus caretakers of young children are always advised to expose the infant to sun energy at given moments. Foods such as fish liver oil and fish are also sources.

The importance of mitochondrial is that it gives the cell energy to enhance day to day activities of man. Some scientist sometimes refers it to as the battery cells. The deficiency of this essential nutrient, leads to formation of constant muscle fatigue and rickets in humans. This is because of functioning of mitochondria, depends on the oxygen and glucose to provide energy that aid in all the functioning activities of the cell.

Adenosine Triphosphate is a form of energy that exists in cell organelle. The hormone phosphocreatine aids in production of Adenosine Triphosphate in muscles. Mitochondrion helps in rejuvenation of phosphocreatine as the muscles contract. Low levels affect the functioning and production of this important nutrient.

Recent researches are on the look for health issues that are emerging based on its role in human body. They have far considered a test on patients, where a dosage was given orally for a period of ten to twelve weeks. It was noted that the supplements in the oral dosage given, led to a decrease in the functioning of the mitochondria and time recovery on the phosphocreatine.

A dual relation of oxidized vitamin C in the organelle is still on the research for clear relationship. This nutrient is associated with prevention of diseases such as scurvy, gum diseases. The likelihood of tracing its existence in the mitochondria is on the glucose GLUT10 that transports it and function to protect the cell from oxidative stress.

This finding increased understanding on causes of hereditary connective tissue disorder of arterial tortousity syndrome. It was also deduced that oxidative stress occurs due to cellular imbalance of molecules that are chemically reactive that contain reactive oxygen species and the ability of unit of life to detoxicate the unit of life and help in the repair of damaged tissues.

Predictions of mitochondria being the production site of reactive oxygen species is by most scientists. They believe that it also helps in recycling of dehydroascorbic acid from its activity. Correlation on molecular means, that are based on dehydroascorbic acid is still to be unraveled. However, it has been noted that cases of arterial tortousity syndrome is due to abnormal functioning of GLUT10. This can also be applied in understanding the relation of type 2 diabetes and GLUT10 as a corroboration of ROS and DHA.

Taking a well-balanced diet rich in the nutrients essential for the body is of much benefit. This is with the reason that you will be able to prevent health related diseases that results from the deficiency of important nutrients in the body. One should consider intake of vast varieties of vegetables and fruits with reference to advice from your doctor.
