Antioxidant alpha lipoic acid promotes energy production, but may not necessarily boost energy levels.  Naturally made in the body, the antioxidant alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a fatty acid known to facilitate biochemical processes in the mitochondria. It may have potential energy uses such as: Promoting energy production. ALA plays a crucial role in energy (adenosine … [Read more...]

Essential energy metabolism molecule PQQ may diminish fatigue.  An essential "helper molecule" present in mitochondria, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is believed to facilitate a number of metabolic processes in the body and may benefit overall energy by: Enhancing energy production. One of PQQ's major roles is to activate cell signaling pathways associated with energy, … [Read more...]

Amino acid derivative acetyl-L-carnitine may reduce fatigue in the elderly and people with chronic fatigue. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is a form of the nutrient L-carnitine that is may increase energy levels by: Facilitating energy production. ALCAR plays a key role in energy metabolism, and has been shown to reduce fatigue in the elderly and people with … [Read more...]

Limited research points to the stamina-boosting potential of bee pollen. Collected by worker honeybees, bee pollen has long been regarded as a great way to promote well-being, with such potential energy benefits as: Improving stamina. Preliminary research shows that bee pollen extracts may slightly improve endurance exercise performance. Overview Bee pollen is … [Read more...]

B vitamins are vital in maintaining the body's energy production but may not necessarily boost energy levels. The B vitamins are critical for the maintenance of overall well-being, most notably through their role in: Sustaining energy production. B vitamins are essential for the conversion of food into the form of energy (ATP) the body uses for all of its biological … [Read more...]
