The energy hacker running double duty.
For your body, it ferries fatty acids straight into your mitochondria, flipping the switch on clean, efficient power. That means more endurance during the grind, less muscle damage after, and a quicker bounce-back from soreness and fatigue. For your brain, it’s got backstage access — fueling neurons, sharpening memory and focus, and shielding your headspace from oxidative stress. The result? Muscles recover faster, your mind stays locked in, and fatigue doesn’t get a chance to crash the party.
