Ingredients
Vitamin B12 | "Vitamin B12 is a nutrient found primarily in red meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products. It is not found naturally in vegetable sources. Vitamin B12 is essential to the health of your nerves and blood cells and in the creation of your cells' DNA. The National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements recommends only 2.4 mcg for adults. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you may need to add vitamin B12 supplements to your diet to ensure you get enough of this vital nutrient.
A deficiency of vitamin B12 in your diet may predispose you to tiredness and anemia. Other symptoms include constipation, a loss of appetite and weight loss and a sore mouth or tongue. Because vitamin B12 is essential to nerve health, a shortage of this nutrient may show up as tingling or numbness, and severe deficiencies may even result in nervous system damage. Mental problems associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include confusion, memory problems and depression." [1] [11] [12] [13] |
Magnisium | 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
People with chronic fatigue syndrome are left so tired that they are unable to perform daily chores. Rest doesn't help their symptoms, which may include extreme fatigue, low-grade fever and chills, muscle and joint pain, headaches and a sore throat. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, while the causes of chronic fatigue are unknown, researchers suspect a viral cause or an immune-system response to some stimulus. In addition to drug therapy, patients suffering from CFS are told to take magnesium supplements and vitamin B12. Magnesium has shown promise as an energy booster." [1] [9] [7] [11] [12] [13] |
Vitamin B6 |
Ginseng
| "The natural botanical compounds improve the mind’s ability to focus, sharpen cognitive skills and have even been shown to boost memory function."[2] Ginseng provides your body with an extra boost of energy. [11] [12] [13]
|
Vitamin C | "Vitamin C is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, experts say. It may help prevent more serious complications. But the benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling."[3]
Vitamin C provides protection against oxidative stress-induced cellular damage by scavenging of reactive oxygen species. Increased Vitamin C concentrations and was associated with a 34% reduction in mood disturbance (P = 0. Treatment of hypovitaminosis C improves the mood state of acutely hospitalized patients. [3] |
Coenzyme Q10 | "Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10) is a natural chemical compound that we make in our bodies and consume in our diets, primarily from oily fish, organ meats such as liver, and whole grains.
CoQ10 is a very important nutritional supplement when it comes to neutralizing free radicals all over the body. It's a fat-soluble substance, which means it passes into more areas of the body much easier, neutralizing free radicals before they can cause dangerous damage. [4] [8] Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a potent antioxidant that may improve function in dystrophin-deficient muscle.Overall, CoQ10 treatment resulted in an 8.5% increase in muscle strength (P = 0.03). Conclusions: Addition of CoQ10 to prednisone therapy in DMD patients resulted in an increase in muscle strength. [10] [8] |
Cholecalciferol
| "Optimum levels of vitamin D protect against diabetes (both type 1 and type 2), insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. Diabetes is usually associated with very low levels of vitamin D.
The pancreas also needs sufficient vitamin D in order to make and secrete insulin. Getting enough vitamin D helps blood sugar control. It may also help prevent serious diabetic complications."[5][11] [12] [13] |
Tocopherol-Acetate
| " Tocopherol-Acetate or Vitamin E is used for improving physical endurance, increasing energy, reducing muscle damage after exercise, and improving muscle strength."[6]
|
Thiamine
|
Thiamine, which is also known as thiamin or vitamin B1, helps your body turn the carbohydrates that you eat into energy it can use for many functions, including keeping your nervous system, muscles and heart working well. A thiamine deficiency can lead to serious problems like nerve damage, muscle weakness and fatigue, according to the National Institutes of Health[1] [11] [13]
|
Riboflavin
| Riboflavin is a component of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and xanthine oxidase. These are all antioxidant enzymes that require riboflavin to function. These enzymes help protect your body against damage from free radicals, which have been implicated in a number of adverse health conditions including heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Riboflavin helps reduce headaches, and migraines. [11]
|
Niacin
| Niacin works as part of the whole team of B vitamins, whose primary jobs are to convert the foods we eat into energy our bodies can use. In fact, one of the first signs of niacin deficiency is fatigue. [13]
|
D-Calcium Pantothenate
| Vitamin B-5 is a building block of coenzyme A, an important molecule that controls or contributes to cellular processes throughout the body. Coenzyme A alters proteins in the body, changing their activity. It also assists in the synthesis of melatonin, acetylcholine and hemoglobin. Coenzyme A works in the liver to metabolize toxins. It also contributes to metabolism, the process of breaking down food into energy. It operates as a vital molecule in the citric acid cycle, a series of chemical reactions that breaks fats, protein and carbohydrates into oxygen, water and the energy molecule ATP. Without coenzyme A, cellular metabolism would grind to a halt. [12]
|
L-Carnitine
| L-Carnitine is necessary for proper energy metabolism, and a deficiency leads to fatigue. L-carnitine may be beneficial in reducing fat mass, increasing muscle mass and reducing fatigue in some individuals. L-carnitine shows potential to help offset metabolic disturbances associated with diseases and improves physical performance. [11]
|
Folic Acid
| Your body uses B-9 in either form to manufacture red blood cells and promote normal nervous system development. Prevents anemia, anemia may cause extreme fatigue, weakness, pale skin color and cold hands and feet. As less oxygen circulates throughout your body, you may also develop chest pain, light-headedness, headaches and shortness of breath. Left untreated, B-9 deficiency can progress to life-threatening arrhythmias and heart failure. [12] [13]
