Understanding the Importance of Krebs /TCA Cycle in Our Bodies

IIn 1953, a British scientist, Professor Hans Adolf Krebs won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with his discovery that is now called the Krebs Cycle Theory.

The Krebs cycle (TCA Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle) is our body's energy production house and it makes the majority of energy in our body to keep us alive. It is essential and without it we would not exist.

According to Krebs theory, the starch and sugar in the food we eat is converted into glucose, the fats are converted into fatty acids, and the protein in meat and beans is converted into more than 20 types of amino acids. All these nutrients must be combined with acetic acid (from vinegar) before they can enter the citric acid cycle. In this citric acid cycle, these nutrients are converted into energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP) that can be utilised by the body. During the conversion process, the food is continuously converted into citric acid, which is then converted into cis-Acotinate, isocitrate, a -ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate and oxaloacetate. The cycle repeats itself when the acids are converted back to citric acid.

Maintaining this Krebs Cycle is very important, but the cycle cannot function properly if the body is tired or restricted by an improper diet. When the nutrients are not fully synthesised, the incomplete combustion residue will be converted into pyruvate, which will break down into lactic acid when exposed to hydrogen ion. The accumulation of lactic acid in the body results in muscle aches, pain in the nerves and lethargy. The accumulation of lactic acid in the blood stream results in an acidic body.

Boost Your Kreb's Cycle!

The great news is, if you have a sluggish Krebs Cycle, you can now bring your health back on the right track by improving your Krebs Cycle by using a good energy accessory and supplementing with these natural herbal supplements:
