MitoQ, an over-the-counter supplement I’ve posted threads on in the past and metformin both appear capable of blocking clonal hematopoiesis, which over half of everyone over 80 will have acquired.

This could help reduce heart disease and blood cancers.

I used to take MitoQ, but found a similar product, Urolithin A, that appears an even better choice for mitochondria, but this study did not check Urolithin A for this benefit, so take the MitoQ, if needed.

My guess is that magnesium deficiency is a key part of the problem. Magnesium is essential to mitophagy, the process by which defective mitochondria are eliminated. Although magnesium deficiency is known to be common, it is rarely identified because it is hard to detect in the body through blood tests since blood magnesium levels are tightly regulated.
