Energy & vitality supplements | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition

Feeling low in energy isn't always just about getting more sleep. Your energy levels are influenced by many factors, including your lifestyle, stress levels, physical activity, age, overall health and nutrition. At the heart of it all is a remarkable biological process happening inside every cell of your body.

Discover how your body produces energy, the nutrients involved in this process, and how to choose the right nutritional support for your individual needs.

Introducing the energy support protocol

Igennus nutritionist, Rose Glover, explains how your cells produce energy and why nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium and CoQ10 matter.

Learn how to choose the right nutritional support for your energy needs, from daily essentials to targeted nutrients that enhance cellular energy production, ease fatigue and aid recovery.

Understanding the science

Feeling low in energy isn't always simply a result of poor sleep or a busy lifestyle. Energy
production is a complex biological process that takes place inside every cell, where nutrients are used to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the body's primary source of cellular energy.
Factors including inadequate nutrition, chronic stress, ageing, intense physical activity and certain medications can all influence this process. Low energy can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition, so persistent or unexplained fatigue should always be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Key takeaway: Energy isn't just about sleep—it depends on how efficiently your cells convert nutrients into ATP.

Every cell contains tiny structures called mitochondria, often referred to as the cell's 'powerhouses'. These convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into ATP through cellular respiration. This process depends on nutrients acting as cofactors, including B vitamins, magnesium, iron and CoQ10.
Rather than providing energy directly, these nutrients help the enzymes involved in energy metabolism function efficiently.

Research

• Nelson & Cox. Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry.
• Hernández-Camacho JD et al. Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation in Aging and Disease. Frontiers in Physiology (2018).

Key takeaway: Your body makes energy continuously—and it relies on a steady supply of
essential nutrients to do so.

B vitamins help convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into forms that mitochondria can use to generate ATP. Different B vitamins support different stages of energy metabolism, which is why they work best together. During periods of stress or increased physical demand, requirements for certain B vitamins may increase. Bioactive forms, such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin, are already in forms the body can readily utilise.

Research

• Kennedy DO. B Vitamins and the Brain. Nutrients (2016).
• Stover PJ & Field MS. Vitamin B-6. Advances in Nutrition (2015).

Key takeaway: B vitamins don't provide energy themselves, but they help unlock the energy already present in your food.

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions, many directly linked to ATP production. It also supports muscle function, nervous system function and electrolyte balance. ATP is normally bound to magnesium inside cells, making this mineral fundamental to cellular energy metabolism.

Research

• Gröber U et al. Magnesium in Prevention and Therapy. Nutrients (2015).
• de Baaij JHF et al. Magnesium in Man. Physiological Reviews (2015).

Key takeaway: Magnesium helps your body's energy-producing machinery work efficiently.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, where it helps generate ATP. It also functions as an antioxidant. Natural production declines with age, and levels may be reduced by certain medications such as statins. Research has investigated supplementation for supporting energy production and reducing fatigue in specific populations.

Research

• Hernández-Camacho JD et al. (2018).
• Mehrabani S et al. Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022).

Key takeaway: CoQ10 is one of the key molecules that enables mitochondria to produce cellular
energy.

As we age, mitochondria become less efficient, natural CoQ10 production declines, muscle mass decreases and absorption of nutrients such as vitamin B12 may become less effective. Good nutrition and regular activity can help support normal energy metabolism throughout life.

Research

• López-Otín C et al. The Hallmarks of Aging.
• Hernández-Camacho JD et al. (2018).

Key takeaway: Healthy ageing includes supporting the nutrients and processes involved in cellular
energy production.

Different nutrient forms vary in their stability, bioavailability and how they are metabolised. Examples include methylfolate, methylcobalamin and the many forms of magnesium, each with distinct characteristics. Choosing well-researched forms may help optimise nutrient delivery.

Research

• Obeid R et al. Vitamin B12 Status in Health and Disease.
• Ranade VV & Somberg JC. Bioavailability of Magnesium Salts.

Key takeaway: The form of a nutrient can influence how effectively it is delivered and utilised.

Mitochondria rely on nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium, iron, selenium and CoQ10 to support normal function. Research into mitochondrial nutrition is growing, particularly in healthy ageing and exercise science. Adequate nutrition helps support normal cellular function.

Research

• Picca A et al. Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Aging. IJMS (2018).

Key takeaway: Looking after your mitochondria starts with providing the nutrients they need.

Unlike stimulant-based products, vitamins and minerals support the body's normal biochemical processes rather than providing an instant boost. How quickly benefits are noticed depends on nutritional status, diet and overall health. Clinical studies often assess outcomes over weeks or months.

Key takeaway: Nutritional support works by supporting normal physiology, so consistency is more important than expecting immediate results.
