Promoting Total-Body Health: The Critical Role of Mitochondria
Explore how mitochondrial health impacts every aspect of wellness and discover comprehensive protocols for supporting cellular energy production and recovery.
Understanding Mitochondria and Their Role in Health
Mitochondria, often called the “powerhouses of the cell,” are responsible for producing energy as ATP from food through oxidative phosphorylation. But their role extends far beyond energy production.
Critical Mitochondrial Functions
Cellular Survival
Cell survival and apoptosis (programmed cell death) regulation
Cell Danger Response
Mediation of healing and recovery processes
Homeostasis
Maintenance of cellular balance and stability
Cell Immunity
Supporting immune function at cellular level
Healthy Aging
Supporting longevity and cellular renewal
Exercise Recovery
Endurance and post-exercise restoration
When Mitochondria Malfunction
Mitochondrial Dysfunction Can Lead To:
• Chronic fatigue
• Metabolic disorders
• Oxidative stress
• Inflammation
• Chronic infections
• Energy production issues
The Cell Danger Response (CDR)
When under stress from toxins, pathogens, injury, or trauma, mitochondria initiate a self-protective response that can lead to changes in energy production, blood sugar metabolism, and increased oxidative stress—effectively blocking the natural healing cycle.
DesBio’s Replenish Protocol: A Comprehensive Approach
The Replenish Protocol is a systematic approach to mitochondrial health, beginning with foundational dietary and exercise recommendations, then incorporating targeted supplementation.
Daily Protocol Schedule
Morning Support
Liposomal Restore – Essential B-vitamins and vitamin C
Liposomal Catalyst – Krebs cycle intermediates with PQQ, NAD+, CoQ10
Throughout the Day
Bio Co-Enzyme Phase – Symptom relief for fatigue and low energy
Bio Cytotox Phase – Support for metabolic dysregulation
Evening Support
Liposomal Magnesium – High-potency magnesium for neurological and cardiovascular health
Understanding Phase Remedies
What are Phase Remedies?
Each of the ten DesBio Phase Remedies has been formulated to help temporarily relieve symptoms that occur during a specific phase while the body is repairing and recovering from stress.
Key Principle: Phase Remedies are given when there is clinical evidence of a blocked enzyme system. Each remedy acts on specific cells, tissues, or organs that may be dysregulated due to disturbed Krebs cycle function—the final common pathway for oxidizing carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids to produce bioavailable energy.
Key Product Benefits
Bio Co-Enzyme Phase
Contains diluted vitamins, co-factors, amino acids, and enzyme optimizers
Indicated for: Exhaustion, fatigue, low cellular energy, metabolic dysregulation
Bio Cytotox Phase
Contains Krebs cycle optimizers, vitamins, co-factors, and homeopathic compounds
Indicated for: Weakened constitution, cell rigidity, food intolerances
Professional Note: This information is intended for healthcare professionals only. Products discussed are formulated based on traditional homeopathic principles and are not meant to cure any disease. Patients should consult their healthcare provider.
