Schwartz thinks that two supplements--Coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q10 for short) and L-carnitine (not D-carnitine, which may be toxic), taken several times daily with meals, may short-circuit the mitochondrian breakdown. (L-carnitine is an amino acid, while Co-Q10 is an antioxidant synthesized by the body from the amino acid tyrosine.) Schwartz explains in layman's terms how these two supplements are key to optimal health. After quizzing you about which of seven major "energy breakdown" signs you may have, she then suggests varying doses of Co-Q10 and L-carnitine, along with additional supplementation of magnesium, calcium, L-glutamate, or omega-3 fatty acids, depending on your particular symptoms. Her patients swear by this natural energy program, and she provides a bibliography of scientific studies in case you'd like to read the research or tip off your own doctor to it.

Book Description
Finally...a cure for the personal energy crisis!

"Natural Energy is a winner."--William Regelson, M.D., coauthor of The Melatonin Miracle

Are You...
* Hearing your mind say "now" while your body says "later"?
* Waking up more tired than when you went to sleep?
* Overeating because you're starved for energy?
* Feeling stressed out and blue?

You are not alone; these problems affect all of us. Our personal energy crisis stems from a depletion of the all-important energy system, which runs the whole body--stimulating organ function, muscle strength and endurance, and the ability to think clearly. When it's damaged, the effects jeopardize health, bring on disease, and hasten aging. Natural Energy offers a cure. Based on three decades of scientific research, it provides simple rules that will help repair, recharge, and revive your life. With the right diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements, you can revitalize your daily routine, and subtract ten years from the way you look--and the way you feel.
