KPV is extremely popular in my circle as well as at this forum, including stacked with TA-1.

Anyone on MOTS-c and SS-31 may want to be on CoQ10 as well, which many are already, but there's always more supplements contending for cabinet space:
The Mighty Mitochondria - SSRP Institute
You have probably heard that mitochondria are called the “powerhouse of the cell” and yes, that’s true! These organelles produce ATP, which is the main energy

NAD+ is often stacked these peptides. But the only thing that I know Dr. Seeds to be critical of is NAD+:

Even testing NAD+ levels in the blood doesn't tell you how much actually gets into the cells:

If you are looking for ways to support mitochondrial biogenesis (a fancy way of saying ‘help your body make more mitochondria’) there are several well researched supplements that may help.
Here are some of the top contenders:
Resveratrol – This polyphenol found in red wine activates the AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1α pathway that initiates mitochondrial biogenesis.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – A component of the electron transport chain, CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) – A potent antioxidant that enhances mitochondrial function and may be useful for various conditions associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
L-Carnitine – Facilitates the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria to produce energy.
Creatine – Well known for its benefits in high intensity exercise, creatine improves mitochondrial efficiency.
B-Vitamins – B3, B6, B12, and folic acid, which serve as essential cofactors in mitochondrial function.
Magnesium – Important in ATP production and over 300 biochemical reactions in the body including those occurring in the mitochondria.
Berberine – A natural product that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis through the AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1α pathway.
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – An antioxidant from green tea that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis.
These supplements vary in their effect from individual to individual, but most of them activate PGC-1α, which is the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. When you are educating your patients on how they can help support mitochondria health and redox balance through supplements, check out my second book, The Redox Promise, where I discuss numerous other supplements that can benefit cellular health. Look for it!
