Repairs the "wiring insulation" inside your cellular power plants so they make energy cleanly with less damage. Furthest along of the mitochondrial peptides in real trials.

How it works

Targets and stabilises cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane, restoring electron-transport efficiency and reducing ROS; in trials for mitochondrial myopathy and heart failure.
