DO YOU NEED AN ENERGY BOOST?

Energy production starts at the cellular level with “get-up-and-go” signals, in the form of ATP, being manufactured in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells. So, when you think energy production, think – mitochondria, more mitochondria,  and mitochondrial health.   

Supplementing with a blend of Liposomal Glutathione + COQ10, and PQQ is one of the best ways to support the powerhouse of your cells, and thereby your energy levels.  Glutathione supports the health of the mitochondria by protecting them from oxidative damage or free radical damage (protects the integrity of your DNA too), while Co-Q10 is a necessary electron donor in the “energy transport chain,” and PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a micronutrient and antioxidant which is involved in enzymatic process that help with energy production of the mitochondria, and encourages mitochondrial biogenesis – the birth of new mitochondria. Kind of makes sense that over time new mitochondria are necessary and…more mitochondria might just mean you get to do more – better.  Better energy – better you.

Vitamin C plays a supportive role in energy as well by performing antioxidant activity which, again, supports the integrity of our cells.  Vitamin C is also a well-known immune booster. Clinical studies have indicated that low Vitamin C levels can show up as fatigue, confusion and low energy.
