Mitochondria are vital for a healthy immune system. They provide the energy needed for immune cell function and act as signaling hubs that regulate immune responses. Maintaining mitochondrial health is crucial for optimal immune function. Energy Production: Immune cells require a significant amount of energy. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing ATP, theContinueContinue reading “Mitochondria and immune health”
