When it comes to aging, people are always looking for ways to try to combat this. One of the first indications of aging tends to be changes in the skin and graying hair. Some people may start experiencing gray hair as early as in their 20s. No matter when the graying begins, this can drive up a lot of alarm for many people, sending them out to find something to cover up their grays. Today, I want to talk about a nutrient called catalase that can be very beneficial in your daily routine.
COLLAGEN LOSS MAY ACCELERATE AGING – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 226. Listen Now>>
Catalase is a naturally-occurring, endogenous antioxidant. As we age, we begin to lose many of our endogenous antioxidants, so it is important to take measures to help support these levels. This is why taking catalase as a supplement can be very helpful.
When the body experiences oxidative stress, our endogenous antioxidants start to target that, but the levels of these antioxidants don’t bounce back. This is frequently the case with catalase. This antioxidant enzyme helps to fend off oxidative stress by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide and converting it into water and oxygen.
The body naturally produces hydrogen peroxide and as hydrogen peroxide levels start to take over in the body, we see that end result in our hair. It is bleaching the hair, so your gray hair is coming from the excessive hydrogen peroxide. We know that catalase controls hydrogen peroxide in the body, so if we have a deficiency or a malfunction in catalase, then we know that this can lead to the pathogenesis of gray hair and other age-associated diseases.

Most people have felt tired at some point in their life, but what causes this fatigue? Is it due to lack of sleep, stress or missing nutrients in the body?†
Oftentimes, people will ask us what they should take when they’re feeling sluggish. Should they turn to something like Ubiquinol or should they look at ginseng? They’re both really good options, but I want to differentiate between the two so you can understand your needs better.†
Coenzyme Q10 is naturally-occuring in the human body. We can have our serum blood levels of this nutrient tested to see how much of it is circulating throughout the body. Supplementing with CoQ10 can help set you up for more optimal energy coming out of the cell. We have two different options: our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) 600mg and our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) with NADH.†
As we get older, the body’s efficiency in terms of the manufacturing of Coenzyme Q10 begins to diminish. When that happens, then you can start to feel more and more of that sluggishness. CoQ10 is also a very powerful antioxidant in the body, so these decreasing levels can impact your ability to fend off free radicals.†

Panax ginseng is a plant. Ginseng has been utilized for hundreds and hundreds of years as a medicinal treatment for so many different human health conditions. In the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, they were looking at ginseng for people who were suffering from fatigue. If we’re really having a lack of energy, then we would want to consider adding in additional energy support supplementation via ginseng.†
TURN TO PANAX GINSENG FOR A NATURAL ENERGY BOOST – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 151. Listen Now>>
When the question comes up of what you should take when you’re feeling like you’re sluggish and lacking energy, I always say take both Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng. The Ubiquinol is required by the body, so if we’re lacking it, we want to replenish it. Then, we can add ginseng for an added bonus. Our Energy HxⓇ, for example, is going to yield you that Asian ginseng, along with Kaneka Ubiquinol. This is a good way to partner up the two nutrients.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the importance of making sure your body has the nutrients it needs to create and maintain adequate energy levels. She explains the difference between Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng and also details how these nutrients can work synergistically to support energy.†
