Fatigue

Summary

Fatigue is a common problem and in many cases its cause cannot be medically explained. An understanding of the biochemical processes humans use to generate energy within the cells leads to a hypothesis to explain the cause of some forms of fatigue based on defective cellular energy processes. The active substance used in this study, GliSODin contains Superoxide Dismutase, an enzyme which may assist in the normal biochemical production of energy in human cells.
