Mitochondria-targeted nutraceuticals in sports medicine: a new perspective

Conclusion:

This review summarized evidence related to mitochondria and energy metabolism; sports nutrition; antioxidant / cellular protection. The review described mitochondrial-targeted nutrients, including EGT-related concepts, as potential research directions for exercise stress and recovery, while noting limited human evidence. The current database classifies the evidence level as limited. Because reviews synthesize heterogeneous sources rather than provide a single controlled intervention, this card should be used as research context and not as standalone proof of direct human efficacy. Additional interpretation should remain conservative and should distinguish cellular, animal, observational, review, and human intervention evidence.
