Another way to combat aging is at the cellular level. Every cell in your body is powered by small organelles called mitochondria -- but as you get older, those little guys do, too. Your natural antioxidant supplies start declining after the age of just 20, and mitochondria aren't able to fight free radicals as well as they used to. You might notice oxidative stress first in your skin, as levels of collagen and elastin decline. But it's taking its toll throughout your body.

You have probably heard of taking supplements with the antioxidant CoQ to help support mitochondria (CoQ10, sometimes called Ubiquinol, is most common). But Dr. Tang recommends MitoQ, a supplement that is an advanced form of CoQ10. The difference? MitoQ has a positive charge -- since mitochondria have a negative charge, they actually actively pull in the MitoQ. Regular CoQ10, in contrast, can reach your cells, but very little of it actually reaches the mitochondria. In fact, MitoQ has been proven to be an astonishing 847 times more effective than CoQ10. 

MitoQ is an excellent supplement not just for fighting external signs of aging, but also for reducing oxidative stress throughout your body. It boosts your energy and supports your heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. And it all starts way down at the cellular level -- when your mitochondria are able to feel younger again, you can too.
