Mitochondria are organelles inside of cells and I can't imagine that the ones you gain from sr9009 would just degrade quickly. I think you need to keep up the endurance challenges to your body for it to recognize that it needs to keep replacing the mitochondria as they degrade over time. I haven't taken sr9009 yet, but I know from experience as an endurance athlete that if I slack off over the winter I still have 75-80% of my endurance when the spring hits.
Mitochondria are not just organelles, they are semi-independent organisms with which we are in symbiosis - now the main theory is this: Mitochondria were once independently living bacteria, and in the process of evolution they became part of our body. In 1985, a group of scientists nominated a microorganism with the complex name Alphaproteobacteria for the role of the "father" of mitochondrias. By the way, even while inside a human cell, the mitochondrion continues to lead a completely independent life: it has its own “workshop” for protein synthesis, including its own DNA and RNA molecules, nontypical for a humans.
The authors of the journal Sports Medicine traced the relationship between regular training and the number of mitochondria. It turned out that aerobic exercise affects the formation of mitochondria in a fairly predictable way: the more you exercise, the more mitochondria are formed. Within a few months, the number of mitochondria can increase by 50%, but the opposite is also true - as soon as regular training is stopped, the number of mitochondria decreases, returning to its original baseline values within a few months.
These are the findings of the study.
The first attempts by physiologists to increase the density of mitochondria were carried out through the impact on the endocrine system, and these attempts had some success. The number of mitochondria increased along with an increase in the level of the thyroid hormone - thyroxine. Dried thyroid glands were added to laboratory rats, and this led to a significant increase in the size and density of mitochondria in the liver and heart. As a stimulant drug, thyroxine was very popular for some time, until it was discovered that an excessive concentration of this hormone leads to very undesirable side effects.
It is believed that a weekly workout that includes running 5 km or 3 km at full strength gives the maximum effect on the development of mitochondria.
Thus, the mitochondrial function and their number is an adaptation to the stress of our body, and whether it is from external influences or substances, it can disappear over time if it has not acquired a "persistent form".
