How it Works: It acts as a shuttle, moving fatty acids into the cellular furnaces known as mitochondria to be burned for fuel, specifically supporting the brain's high energy demands.
How it Helps:
- Helps reduce the perception of mental and physical fatigue.
- Supports cellular energy production.
- Provides antioxidant protection for nerve cells.
