The Mitochondria era

For decades, performance and health discussions revolved around hormones, calories, and training intensity. Today, the focus is shifting deeper, down to the level where energy is actually created. Mitochondria are the structures inside cells responsible for producing ATP, the energy currency that powers muscle contraction, brain function, recovery, immune defense, and fat metabolism. When mitochondria […]Read More

NAD+ Explained

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule found in every living cell and is absolutely essential for life. It plays a central role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, metabolic regulation, and cell survival. Without adequate NAD+, mitochondria cannot efficiently produce ATP, enzymes involved in repair cannot function properly, and cells begin to age, malfunction, […]Read More

SS-31 – the mitochondrial peptide

SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide designed to protect and restore mitochondrial function at its most critical point. Unlike peptides that influence hormones or signaling upstream, SS-31 acts directly inside the mitochondria, the structures responsible for producing cellular energy. It was originally developed for serious medical conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction, including heart […]Read More

Metformin and Rapamycin for performance and longevity

Bodybuilding and longevity traditionally don’t go too well together, as we all know chasing size and strength often comes at some cost of long-term health. But what if certain compounds could extend lifespan while also enhancing muscle retention and performance? Let’s talk about Metformin and Rapamycin, two drugs initially developed for diabetes and organ transplant […]Read More
