Chronic fatigue, tiredness and low energy plague millions of people in the Western World and are the most common reasons which lead people to seek medical care. Various factors include vitamin/mineral deficiency, food intolerances, blood sugar disorders, depression, thyroid problems, insomnia and stress. Recent research has uncovered issues relating to nutrition, cellular energy metabolism and free radical/antioxidant bio-chemistry which may hold some explanation. Energy is needed at all levels of our being. The energy source for all these levels is the same- it is the bio-energy molecule ATP, which has been described as the single most important substance in bio-chemistry. Where ATP is low energy is low. ATP is generated after the absorption of food and transported through the bloodstream to every cell and organ needing power for their every activity. The correct foods are essential for ultimate ATP production. Given the widespread availability of cheap food in the Western world, it is usually assumed that a dietary/cellular deficiency of key energy promoting nutrients is rarely the cause of inadequate ATP production. Yet scientific and conceptual evidence shows this assumption to be dubious at best. The evidence for the absence of nutritional deficiency diseases does not equal evidence for optimal level energy enhancing nutrients. RDA’s are a problem. The general lowering of the already modest RDA levels have been based on the ‘judgement’ that Americans are a basically healthy people, and since they fail to consume earlier higher RDA’s of most nutrients, lower RDA’s are more appropriate!! To assume Americans are healthy because they do not suffer classic nutritional deficiency diseases is ludicrous. One seventh of the total national income is spent on health/disease care. Half the adult population is obese; tens of millions are diabetic or have asthma, allergies, arthritis, ulcers, insomnia, depression etc. the list is exhaustive. RDA’s were never formulated for optimal health but are merely intended to keep a person healthy enough to avoid the likes of scurvy (a disease our ancestral British forefathers eradicated 200 years ago)!! Another area of importance is that of metabolic enhancers that are normal dietary constituents, absolutely essential for life, which are vitamin-like nutrients are made within the body. These are comprehensive energy supplements. The most critical are alpha lipoic acid, carnitine, acetyl l carnitine and CoQ10 (Idebenone).
