There’s a vitamin that helps the body utilize nutrients, maximizing cellular repair and energy production

October 16, 2024 -

Niacin, the energy vitamin

Imagine your body as a high-performance engine. Just as an engine requires oil to function efficiently, our body needs niacin so our cells can convert food into usable energy. Niacin, in its active forms, nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, acts as a coenzyme for the metabolic pathways that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Because niacin is central to energy production, it facilitates the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, enabling ...

The real link between sugar consumption and cancer

December 03, 2018 -

Because the right type and balance of sugar molecules are necessary for cellular energy production, sugar consumption alone is not the cause of cancer. Likewise, a sugarless diet will not automatically eradicate cancer from the body. The breakdown of normal metabolic processes within the cell causes inflammation and is therefore the precursor to a host of chronic diseases, including the development of cancerous cells. The real link between sugar and cancer is the consumption ...

Statin drugs, i.e., “mitochondrial toxins,” linked to heart disease, even though they were pushed with promises of PROTECTING the vascular system

January 04, 2024 -

Research published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology reveals that statins are more aptly described as "mitochondrial toxins" in that they impair normal muscle function in the heart and blood vessels by depleting the body of coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10.

An antioxidant that cells use for growth and maintenance, CoQ10 does not synthesize properly when a person takes statins as prescribed by doctors to prevent heart disease, which is said to be the leading cause ...
