This is what Matrix Bio wants to do, in fact! https://mitrix.bio/

"The goal is to produce bioreactor-grown mitochondria on an industrial scale, sufficient to supplement every person over the age of 55"

Although it might be preferential to get, say, properly genotyped mitochondria from champion horses!

Interesting -- you can keep mitochondria alive outside of cells? Are there papers on what they need for that?
