Mitochondrial DNA repair?

Hi
What compounds or what interventions could repair the mitochondrial DNA?
In these threads is mentioned Kiwi, Cats Claw, Aspirin and Selenium among others

However to me is not clear is the repair is related to nDNA or mtDNA.... and is not clear if the supplements slows the damage process or have the potential of repair the mtDNA.
I'm also wondering if and Mitophagy could potentially clean the damaged mitochondria and then Mitochondrial Biogenesis (Sirt1, AMPK, PGC-1a) could replace it with new and healthy mitochondria without mutation in the DNA.
The other possibiilty is that mitochondrial biogenesis creates new mitochondria but with mutation in the DNA...That why I'm thinking in the autophagy process.

What a coincidence, I was just recently thinking of posting this same exact thread. And not only that, I just had some Kiwi last night.
