About us
Who are we? Who is behind Mitochondriak®?
Two brothers connected by more than just their name and a certain "similarity", but also by their mindset and approach to LIFE and LIGHT.
"We are both advocates of a healthy lifestyle, but at the same time we understand that our health is not only about diet and exercise. First of all, it is about light. Light is what influences our mitochondria the most, and mitochondria are our real "power source"!"
That is why the name - "Mitochondriak".

Meet our founders:
Jaroslav Lachký, founder and CEO
started his journey more than a decade ago. Since childhood, he had many health problems, and after school, while working as a technician, entrepreneur, trainer and coach, he took his health into his own hands. He began studying mitochondria, light, circadian rhythm and quantum biology, and within a few months his life and health changed significantly.
Jaro has been educating people since 2015. He is a certified Building Biologist, founded his own educational website in Slovakia (jaroslavlachky.sk), wrote hundreds of free educational blog posts, appeared in many interviews and podcasts, spoke at international conferences and started building a community of "mitochondriacs" while teaching people about the impact of light on health and biology.
- Mitochondria, mitochondrial health and cellular energetics
- Quantum biology, circadian rhythm and photobiomodulation
- The effect of light (RED, NIR, UV and blue light) on human health
- Building biology (certified Building Biologist)
- Seasonal eating and a holistic mitochondrial approach to health
- Biohacking, mitohacking and environmental optimization

Erik, our co-founder,
already understood the importance of light and environment for health as a young man during his studies. About 4 years ago, after school, when he and his wife were planning their home and expecting a child, he realized that our modern environment needed to change.
Today, Erik leads customer support and helps educate families about light hygiene at home, protecting children’s sleep and creating a healthier environment for the whole family.

"This is where the idea was born to continue educating people and create Mitochondriak products that both of us would be truly happy with, because they can help optimize our environment when we are not outside - in nature."
Are you asking how? Simply, ...because LIGHT shapes LIFE.

From there, we turned our ideas into reality together, because we saw the value in bringing LIGHT closer to people. Light is something most of us miss when we spend most of our time indoors, away from NATURE. The critical frequencies of light we miss indoors are:
... red, infrared and UV light.
Mitochondriak® is more than just "products". We are building a community of responsible, health-conscious people and educating them!
Our goal and main idea is to raise awareness about the importance and benefits of sunlight - light whose largest natural component is red and infrared light, together with UV radiation.
Mitochondriak products were designed and are constantly being improved to help bring the frequencies of sunlight that we miss indoors - red (Red), infrared (NIR) and UV - closer to people!

What to say in the end?
Our goal is also to bring you high-quality light therapy devices or safe, circadian indoor lighting solutions, together with great customer service, where we will always be happy to advise you on choosing the right product or answer any question!
If our way of thinking resonates with you, help us spread the idea of light nutrition. Tag us on social media -
