SIRT3
SIRT3 is a protein found in our cells that helps keep our mitochondria—the energy factories—healthy. It works by removing certain chemical tags from other proteins, which can influence how those proteins function. This process helps regulate energy production, reduce oxidative stress (cell damage caused by free radicals), and maintain overall cell health. Proper SIRT3 activity is linked to better aging, metabolism, and protection against diseases like obesity and heart issues. Essentially, SIRT3 acts as a guardian, supporting our cells' energy systems and health.
