Nutritional information on Stamina and energy

Would you like to have more energy? The feeling of low energy, of no energy, is pervasive in our society today. In his comprehensive guide to Nutrition, Dr. William Borrmann states, "It is known that about one-half of the patients consulting a physician have no organic disease. In about one-fourth of the cases, the cause of the symptoms is tenseness or worry, strain and fatigue." There is a little more frustrating than wanting to do something and just not having the energy to attempt it.

Lack of energy is generally due to physical and/or mental stress. The stress eats away at our nutritional resources, leaving us without sufficient energy to bring real vitality to our lives.

Now there is a supplemental formula containing those nutrients that are most directly related to mental and physical energy production.

As you know food must be converted by the digestive system into simpler substances before it can be used by the body for energy. These simple substances are combined in teh muscle to for ATP, denosine triphosphate, a chemical which is the only fuel the muscle can use directly. ATP is not only the energy source for the muscle, it is the compound which supplies energy for all life... for cell division, for growht, for digestion, for all the life processes of all living things... plants as well as animals.

When our bodies cannot produce sufficient ATP the result is extreme fatigue and tiredness, poor glandular function, aging and muscle weakness. The materials needed by our bodies to activate ATP production include raw muscle tissue, pantothenic acid, inositol and magnesium. Without these nutrients our bodies cannot manufacture energy.

Carbohydrates in the form of glucose, (blood sugar) and glycogen, a special starch stored in the muscles and in the liver, are needed to keep ATP levels high. Raw muscle tissue functions in relation to glucose/glycogen metabolism as a nutritional factor in increasing the energy metabolism of the muscle cell.

Raw muscle tissue,, as with any tissue concentrate, enhances the nutritional environment of its living counterpart and increases the probability of optimal tissue cell formation and function.

Raw muscle tissue, as with any tissue concentrate, enhances the nutritional environment of its living counterpart and increases the probability of optimal tissue cell formation and function.

Muscle is the most abundant tissue in the body and our muscles contain about twice as much pantothenic acid as those of other animals. (It is also found in highly concentrated amounts in the brain.) Pantothenic acid is involved in many enzyme activities in the body including ATP enzymes. It works with the nutrients of raw muscle tissue in the conversion of glucose to energy. Low resistance to stress, muscular weakness and overwhelming fatigue can all be results of pantothenic acid deficiency.

Because pantothenic acid aids in the production of cortisone, it is effective in the treatment of adrenal exhaustion, another cause of low energy and fatigue.

Inositol is the "spark plug" that sets off carbohydrate metabolism, Correct carbohydrate use it directly related to our energy level. Inositol is also indirectly connected with biotin synthesis. Like inositol, biotin is a B-complex factor involved in energy production.

Inositol works with choline in the manufacture of both ATP and adrenalin and they work together to prevent the build-up of fat in liver tissue.

Magnesium is the activator of the ATP enzyme system. Without magnesium the cells cannot make the correct sodium-potassium exchange which is necessary for the transferal of the electrical impulse coming from the brain to activate movement.

Adrenal tissue extract works with the inositol and choline in the formation of adrenalin. With low levels of adrenalin or adrenal insufficiency, exhaustive states and diminished stamina are common. Apparently the regulation of the acid alkaline balance through sodium, potassium and chlorides is under control of the adrenal glands, and when this system is not functioning adequately the results are respiratory embarrassment and extreme fatigue.

The formula contains many factors from the B-complex group because these nutrients are important in releasing energy and relieving stress. Vitamin B1, B2, niacin and B6 work together, relieving stress and protecting us from disease (the worst form of stress). Six out of seven subjects suffering from excessive mental and physical fatigue found that their condition improved with the use of niacin. B6 has been called the3 most deficient vitamin in the country. Undue stress demands the presence of B6 and it is also needed for the absorption of B12.

Vitamin B12 is used in the formula because a deficiency can cause weakness in the extremities, diminished reflex response and diminished perception. Also it functions with folic acid to help with red blood cell formation. This inhibits the development of a particularly insidious type of anemia.

Besides complementing the function of B12, folic acid has its own vital role in the nervous system and lack can cause mental sluggishness. Folic acid is used in the body as folinic acid. This biologically active form is made with the aid of vitamin C.

Vitamin C is also required by the adrenal glands. Studies show that a great deal more vitamin C is needed during stressful situations. Plus, the function of C as an antitoxin cleans our bodies of toxic residues. This removal of poisons definitely reduces physical stress and releases energy. Antibiotics, physical stress and releases energy. Antibiotics, aspirin, cortisone, high fevers, stress, and tobacco all diminish vitamin C absorption, while the bioflavinoids work to promote it.

Manganese is a trace mineral that is essential to strong nerve health. It activates enzymes which are necessary for the utilization of vitamin C and it works with the B complex vitamins. It nourishes the nerves and brain and aids in the transmittal of messages between brain, nerves and muscles. It helps to release energy in the body to overcome that lazy feeling.

The mineral zinc as well as magnesium and manganese work together in the metabolism of sugar. Part of this work is the conversion of sugar into glycogen. Zinc also has a function in tissue respiration- the intake of oxygen and the expulsion of carbon dioxide and toxic wastes. Although the brain needs only tiny amounts of zinc and other trace minerals to carry out its functions, these amounts are imperative. In fact, University of Michigan studies suing hair analysis show that high levels of both zinc and copper have a significant correlation with high academic grades.

Copper has definitely been established as an essential for the health of all livng things. Although it can cause problems in excess, it works with zinc to remain in balance. It must be present in the body for the conversion of iron into hemoglobin. General weakness and impaired respiration are among the early symptoms of a copper deficiency.

The importance of selenium to proper functioning of mind and body is a recent discovery. Selenium works to improve energy levels and there is a evidence that it may imrove sexual health and possibly sexual function as well. Proper use of selenium can slow the aging process as well as detoxify the heavy metals found in cigarette smoke, smog, and industrial pollution. It can protect against excessive radiation from radio and TV sets, TV transmitters, microwave ovens and medical X-rays. Left unchecked, all of these pollutants have the effect of tiring us and causing us undue fatigue.
