Cocarboxylase

Why You Need It

• Instant Energy Boost: Helps convert carbohydrates into glucose, the fuel your mitochondria need to generate ATP (energy).
• Nervous System Support: Essential for nerve signal transmission and repair, helping to reduce tingling or numbness.
• Cognitive Clarity: Supports brain function, memory, and concentration by protecting brain cells from oxidative stress.
• Metabolic Health: Plays a key role in the breakdown of sugars, helping to maintain healthy blood glucose levels.

Deep Dive

Cocarboxylase is the 'activated' version of Thiamine. When you eat carbohydrates, your body needs specific enzymes to break them down. However, these enzymes require a helper molecule to function—that helper is Cocarboxylase. Without sufficient levels, your body struggles to produce energy efficiently, leading to that 'heavy' feeling in your muscles and brain fog. By supplementing with the active form, you bypass the body's conversion step, delivering immediate support to your metabolic pathways.

Natural Food Sources

The good news is that you can find the precursors to Cocarboxylase in whole foods. Your body naturally converts dietary Thiamine into active Cocarboxylase. To maximize your intake, focus on these Thiamine-rich foods:

Supplementation

While food is the best starting point, Cocarboxylase supplements are ideal for those with absorption issues or high metabolic demands.

• Who needs it? Individuals with chronic fatigue, digestive disorders (like Crohn's), or those recovering from illness.
• Dosage: A typical dosage ranges from 25mg to 100mg daily. Because this is the active form, lower doses are often more effective than high doses of standard Thiamine.
