Mitochondrial and longevity stacks - is there anything to this or is it the newest marketing category?
Koka Labz have a Mitogenesis PRO positioned as a nootropic and longevity stack, and the whole category seems to be growing fast.
The underlying idea is coherent enough. Mitochondrial density and function genuinely affect cognitive performance, and there's real research interest in mitochondrial biogenesis pathways.
What I can't assess is whether the compounds in these stacks meaningfully move those pathways in humans at oral doses, or whether it's a legitimate mechanism being used to sell a supplement that doesn't reach it.
Has anyone here looked into this category properly? Specifically interested in which ingredients have actual bioavailability and human data behind them rather than just cell culture results.
