Ruthenium

Why You Need It

• Cellular Energy: May support mitochondrial function (the powerhouse of the cell).
• Cognitive Support: Early research focuses on neuroprotective properties.
• Antioxidant Activity: Helps combat oxidative stress.

Deep Dive

Ruthenium is not a classic vitamin or mineral that your body requires for daily function like Iron or Magnesium. Instead, it is being explored for its catalytic potential. In supplemental forms, it is usually bound to organic molecules (like amino acids) to make it bioavailable. The theory is that these complexes can interact with enzymes in the body to improve metabolic efficiency. For the average person, this translates to potentially better stamina and mental clarity, though human clinical trials are still in the early stages compared to established supplements.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike Iron or Calcium, Ruthenium is not found in significant quantities in fruits, vegetables, or common meats. It is a trace element found in the earth's crust, meaning we ingest tiny amounts only through soil contamination in water and food. Therefore, dietary sources are negligible; if you are taking Ruthenium, you are almost certainly taking a synthesized supplement.

Supplementation

Because natural food sources are insufficient for therapeutic doses, Ruthenium is strictly a supplement product.

• Usage: Usually found in liquid drops or capsule form as a 'Ruthenium Complex.'
• Dosage: There is no established Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Follow product labels strictly and consult a healthcare provider.
