MitoCORE Supplement Spotlight for October

Why Cellular Energy Matters

Every cell needs energy to function. Mitochondria produce much of that energy; these structures are often described as the cell’s powerhouses. They convert nutrients from food into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which cells use as a primary energy source.

Busy schedules, inconsistent sleep, stress, limited nutrition, and other everyday demands can place pressure on the body’s energy reserves. A nutrient-dense diet, adequate rest, movement, and hydration remain the foundation of wellness. A professionally selected supplement may provide additional nutritional support when appropriate.

Start by identifying what you hope to address. Are you looking for hydration after travel or physical activity? Are you asking about nutrient support, recovery, energy, or another wellness goal? Your answer helps guide the conversation, but it does not determine the treatment on its own.

Before recommending an IV, the IVRS team may consider:

• Your current symptoms and how long they have been present
• Your medical and surgical history
• Prescription medications and supplements
• Allergies and previous reactions
• Kidney, heart, liver, or blood-pressure concerns
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Recent illness, vomiting, diarrhea, exercise, heat exposure, or travel
• Your ability to eat and drink normally
• Whether your symptoms require diagnostic testing or a higher level of care

This screening matters because IV fluids and nutrients enter the bloodstream directly. The route can be useful in appropriate situations, but it also requires thoughtful ingredient selection and professional monitoring.

What Is MitoCORE?

MitoCORE is a broad-spectrum nutritional formula developed by Ortho Molecular Products. It supplies micronutrients involved in normal energy metabolism along with targeted compounds that support mitochondrial function and help protect cells from oxidative stress. Its formula includes acetyl L-carnitine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, alpha lipoic acid, green tea extract, broccoli seed extract, resveratrol, and a foundation of vitamins and minerals.

Key Nutrients in the Mito Core Formula:

Acetyl L-carnitine:

Helps transport fatty acids used in cellular energy production and provides antioxidant support.

N-acetyl-L-cysteine:

Commonly known as NAC, supports the body’s production of glutathione, an important antioxidant, and supports natural detoxification pathways.

Alpha lipoic acid:

Supports antioxidant activity and helps recharge other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E and glutathione.

Green tea extract:

Provides polyphenols that support antioxidant defenses and healthy detoxification enzyme activity.

Broccoli seed extract:

Contains glucoraphanin, a precursor to sulforaphane, and supports antioxidant and detoxification processes.

Resveratrol:

A plant compound that provides antioxidant support and may help support cardiovascular and immune health.

Vitamins and minerals:

Including B vitamins, vitamins C and D, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and other micronutrients, help support normal energy metabolism and daily nutritional needs.

How MitoCORE May Support Daily Wellness

MitoCORE provides nutritional support in four primary areas: cellular energy production, antioxidant protection, immune function, and detoxification capacity. These systems are closely connected. Energy production naturally creates free radicals, while antioxidants help neutralize them. Nutrients that support both processes can help the body maintain healthy cellular function.

Because supplements are not one-size-fits-all, the right product and serving amount depend on your health history, medications, diet, and wellness goals. An IVRS provider can help determine whether MitoCORE fits your current plan.
