Apart from doctors and biology teachers there cannot be many people walking around that can fully explain the Krebs cycle.
We were all taught this by some enthusiastic human biologist but we usually all fell into a trance or read a comic under the desk.
It’s a huge complicated chart showing exactly what happens when we eat. The single purpose of eating is to get energy. But there’s nothing simple about how it all works.
And the Krebs cycle explains the importance of sugars, amino acids and fats. Many enzymes are also involved and if you recall just a dozen from the seventy thousand in the body then you must have been paying attention. Well done.
As the clever ones will remember, NADH appeared on the Krebs chart. It’s easier to remember than the full nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although that in turn is vitamin B niacin.
A petrol car needs petrol and a diesel car needs diesel. If you put the wrong fuel in it will cause a major headache. But when you think about the mix of liquids and foods we shove into our mouths it becomes a wonder of the world to appreciate how hard the digestive system must work.
Most of the process is completed by these many thousands of enzymes but just to confuse matters, we also have something called coenzymes.
A NADH 20 mg supplement is a good way to speed up the process and ensure you have enough in side you. This is particularly good for vegans and vegetarians as the normal way to get this coenzyme is through fish and meat.
There is hardly any available in fruit and vegetables. With the catalysts of oxygen and acetyl, the whole cycle comes together to help give us energy. It also changes the amino acid tyrosine into dopamine. And that’s why granny would tell you to eat your fish as it makes you brainy.
By the way, before you check, the word dope has no connection with dopamine. It’s Old Dutch and simply translates as a thick sauce.
