If you regularly wake up tired, and then end each day sprawled out on the couch, you’ve probably wished for more energy. To make that happen, it helps to understand your body’s energy-production process.
If you zoom in to a cellular level, you’ll find that every single cell in your body contains several little organelles called mitochondria. Each mitochondrion acts like a tiny digestive system: taking in nutrients like glucose and oxygen and transforming them into ATP – your body’s chemical form of energy.
Every process in your body – e.g. movement, communication between cells, or synthesising proteins and hormones – is powered by ATP. So you can see why it’s important to make enough of it.
Of course, other systems in your body also affect your mitochondria’s ability to do their jobs. But everything starts at that cellular level.
You’ll know from personal experience that some foods leave you sluggish and tired, while others make you feel vibrant and energetic. Here are a few simple swaps that may help to give your energy levels a boost:
Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a little-known nutrient that plays a vital role in helping your mitochondria to create cellular energy. That’s why it’s often described as “nature’s spark plug”.
Our bodies do produce CoQ10 naturally, but the older we get, the less of it we create.
Nutra-Life CoQ10 300mg provides double strength CoQ10* in a convenient, one-a-day capsule to supplement your body’s natural CoQ10 levels.
