Mito Energy Multi-Vitamin
The Mito Energy multi-vitamin is one of my favorites. It has a complete complement of minerals and vitamins to support mitochondrial function. Optimal mitochondrial function is critical for the best overall health. The mitochondria produce the energy to maintain the cell membrane, maintain DNA structure, and keep the immune system optimal. A good multi-vitamin contains vitamins and minerals and anti-oxidants to make sure the energy chain flows and can remove toxins. It also contains all the B vitamins which are important cofactors for hormone production, energy production, detoxification, and neurotransmitter metabolism.
Mito-Energy has all of the above and more.
Co Q10
I would take Co Q10 because it is involved with mitochondrial energy production. Without Co Q10, the energy chain fails. If the mitochondria stop making energy, then the cell integrity comes into question. At that point, the cell membrane can fail, the DNA can become mutated and not repaired, and proper reactive oxygen species won't be made to fight off infections. This is the start of the disease process.
Magnesium
I love magnesium. I always considered it a calming mineral. It helps to calm the brain during anxiety and to sleep at night. But it does more. It is intimately involved in the production of glutathione which is the body's main antioxidant. It is used as an exchange ion for heart and skeletal muscle function. Finally, it helps with neurotransmitter metabolism and stabilizing brain function.
The above is a fun experiment in minimalization. But, there are many more supplements and nutrients that can be used to help the human body. In fact, over the last 16 years, I have been able to treat almost all "medical" issues with diet and natural products.
As always, if the situation becomes overwhelming, seek professional help regarding your physical and mental symptoms.
