[Urgent Warning] Antibiotics DRAIN Your Energy

We all know that antibiotics are dangerous.
They’re linked to nerve damage… serious stomach issues… and even depression.
But as it turns out, this is just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to ways these drugs can DESTROY your heath.
Because a new study shows that a certain class of these drugs can DRAIN your energy… and even ALTER your DNA.
Here’s what you need to know.
Mitochondria are specialized cell parts that play a key role in your healthy.
These tiny generators produce all the energy in your body.
And when they are healthy, your body is healthy and your energy levels peak.
The only problem? These little batteries can be easily harmed… and are especially sensitive to antibiotics.
A study carried out at the University of Eastern Finland and published in Nucleic Acids Researchinvestigated the effect of ciprofloxacin – one of the most used broad-spectrum antibiotics in mainstream medicine – on mitochondria.
At the end of the research, scientists found that ciprofloxacin stopped the normal maintenance and transcription of mitochondrial DNA – which dropped mitochondrial energy production.
And without energy, your cells can’t function.
On a body-wide scale, this process creates many health problems like cancer and heart disease.
But it also makes your energy levels take a serious nose-dive. And this can keep you from enjoying your golden years to their fullest!
Ciprofloxacin isn’t the only antibiotic that can mess with your DNA and drop your energy. It belongs to a class of drugs called the fluoroquinolones that also include:
- Levofloxacin
- Gemifloxacin
- Moxifloxacin
- And norfloxacin.
If you’re currently taking any of these drugs, or have takenthem in the past, it’s important to support your mitochondria NOW.
Fortunately, there are four powerful supplements that can help you do just that.
Dr. Scott’s Mitochondria Activation Protocol:
- CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that helps lower inflammation and improvesmitochondria function.
- Astaxanthin is a naturally-occurring antioxidant carotenoid pigment. It supports good immune response, energy production, reduces C-reactive protein, and supports mitochondrial function.
- Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is the master super-antioxidant. It works so well because it is a powerful antioxidant and it helps to regenerate other antioxidants, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, glutathione, CoQ10. ALA also supports mitochondrial energy production.
- Vitamin E is another powerful mitochondrial support medicine. Vitamin E works well with CoQ10 and is one of the most important vitamin antioxidants that helps to protect all cells from oxidative damage.
