Stress and toxicity are common causes of fatigue due to their impact on our mitochondria.^1,2

Meeting the higher energy requirements of stress-induced oxidative reactivity is dealt with at a cellular level and involves mitochondrial sustainability. The processes involved include our neuroendocrine hormones and transmitters which affect mitochondrial energetics and well-being.¹

Mitochondria play a significant role in our metabolic activity, and are highly vulnerable to being damaged from stress, environmental toxins, and other causes of oxidative damage in our bodies.²

Prolonged energy production demand on our mitochondria can result in DNA instability, increased production of reactive oxygen species, and impairment of our metabolic recovery.⁴ Our inner cellular environment, in particular our mitochondrial ‘electrical powerplant’ eventually impacts our energy levels, and the lifespan and survival of the cell.^1,3
