Herbal blends have been used in traditional medicine systems, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, for centuries to support energy, vitality, and overall well-being—concepts that may be interpreted in modern terms as supporting mitochondrial health. Many traditional herbal formulas contain ingredients like ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra, and ashwagandha, which are believed to enhance stamina and reduce fatigue. These effects are often attributed to the herbs’ adaptogenic or tonic properties, rather than a direct action on mitochondria as understood in modern biology.

Scientific studies on individual herbs—such as ginseng and rhodiola—have provided some preliminary evidence for their effects on cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function, but these findings are limited and not always consistent. However, when herbs are combined into proprietary blends, there is often little to no published research validating their efficacy for mitochondrial support specifically, and the exact composition of proprietary blends is typically undisclosed, making scientific evaluation difficult. Thus, the rationale for using a proprietary herbal blend to support mitochondria is mainly based on traditional use and general ideas of promoting vitality, rather than robust scientific validation of specific blends for this purpose.
