Composition for mitochondrial modification comprising a combination of two or more natural pigments

Abstract

The present invention relates to the control and enhancement of energy production of mitochondria through maximizing electron transfer efficiency using natural pigments and light. The composition for mitochondrial modification according to the present invention, which comprises two or more natural pigments selected from the group consisting of □-carotene, anthocyanin, and chlorophyll a as active ingredients, and the mitochondria modified by mixing these active ingredients have the effects of increasing ATP production and decreasing ROS production, and thus can be usefully used as a health functional food composition for improving exercise function and fatigue. Moreover, the effect of promoting the production of mitochondrial energy and preventing oxidative damage by light irradiation, can be used for the prevention and treatment of diseases related to mitochondrial dysfunction.
