The Fundamentals 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.

Recently, research was carried out on emerging health problems that is in line with this nutrient. A test was carried out on the affected patients with the provision of oral dosage of nutrients rich supplements at the length of 10-12 weeks. A decrease in recovery time and functioning of the organelle was noted. Phosphocreatine levels recovery was also noted to have improved.

Vitamin C helps to improve immune system and prevents inflammation and formation of scurvy. Its deficiency causes problems such as gum disease and hair loss. On relation of this important nutrient with cell organelle, it was recently identified in GLUT10, a glucose transporter that transported oxidized vitamin C. This glucose helps in protection of cell organelle against 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.

In order to boost functioning of your body tissues and cells, you need to take food rich in these vitamins. Dehydroascorbic acid is found in vegetables such as spinach and cabbages, fruits such as strawberry and oranges. Always check on your diet, for this is an advice that you should put in place. On where you do not have well conversant knowledge on amount to be taken daily, go for medical advice from your personal doctor.
