Can you activate and utilize your vitamins and Q10?

Can you activate and utilize your vitamins and Q10?Several B-vitamins need to be converted into other forms before they are activated for a wide range of functions. However, enzyme defects, alcohol, medication, and aging processes can make this difficult. The form of vitamin D that we produce from the sun or get from supplements is also inactive, and factors like obesity, aging processes, and a lack of certain minerals can make it difficult to make the active form.

This means that an inability to activate vitamins and Q10 can result in chronic fatigue, many serious diseases, and in the worst case, early death.
