In the, “Ins and Outs of the Mito Cocktail: Part 1 of 2,” Dr. Toufas will explore how our bodies digest and absorb nutrients from food, and discuss what difficulties exist in getting supplements/nutrients into our cells and mitochondria. He will take a deeper look at the Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain, explain which vitamins and cofactors are used in these processes, and discuss ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species)/Oxidative damage.
