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.

Vitamin D enhances workability of mitochondria and bone formation and its deficiency leads to formation of rickets and muscle fatigue due to reduced efficiency on functioning of mitochondria. This organelle acts as power station of cell organelle that provides energy for all activities on cell and it makes this energy by use of oxygen and glucose.

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.

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.

The mitochondria have been predicted to be the production site of reactive oxygen species. Recycling of the dehydroascorbic acid also benefits from its activity. The connection on molecular mechanism based on dehydroascorbic acid is still a puzzle to be unraveled. Some cases of arterial tortousity syndrome are due to abnormalities in the GLUT10. This quasi finding has been applied on comprehension of these type 2 diabetes and GLUT10 as a reinforcement 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.
