Dosage

Each 5ml level teaspoon contains:

L-Carnitine acts as a shuttle of long chain fatty acids between the cytosol and the mitochondria to undergo beta oxidation. It plays an essential role in energy production and in clearing toxic accumulation of fatty acids in the mitochondria. Carnitine not only promotes maximal energy production, but also stabilises the cellular membrane at the mitochondrial level.

Because of its important role in muscle metabolism, carnitine deficiency may well impair mitochondrial function. If so, it could cause symptoms of generalized fatigue along with myalgia, muscle weakness, and malaise following physical exertion.[7]

The B vitamins function as coenzymes to catalyze many biochemical reactions. The chief function of B Vitamins is in converting glucose to energy, which fuels the body. B vitamins are also important in fat and protein/amino acid metabolism.[8]

Oxidative damage
Alpha lipoic acid is the only antioxidant that is both water and fat soluble, which means that it is easily available to all areas of the body. It helps quench free radical damage caused by sugars and it is used by the mitochondria to help transform glucose into energy. Orally, alpha lipoic acid has been shown to increase glutathione levels[9] and it is an important cellular antioxidant essential for the functioning of the immune system.

Blood sugar irregularities
Chromium is an essential nutrient involved in normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Chromium is a necessary component of Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF), a substance known to improve glucose tolerance by potentiating the effect of insulin on carbohydrate metabolism.[8] Glucose intolerance is one of the signs of chromium deficiency. Chromium supplementation may improve glucose uptake in insulin sensitive tissues.[10]

Stress
B Vital contains key nutrients such as tyrosine, carnitine, taurine and B vitamins which support the cell's response to stress.

The B complex vitamins are very important for the normal functioning of the nervous system and are often helpful in promoting relaxation and energy production in individuals who are stressed or fatigued.

Tyrosine assists the body to cope physiologically with stress by building the body's store of adrenaline. Chronic stress increases the need for tyrosine and often results in an extreme reduction of brain tyrosine levels.

B Vital contains a wide range of nutrients, required by the body every day to assist in optimal health and wellbeing.
