HSI’s 13 Most Surprising Cures • 109restore precious cellular energy, he is the man to talk with. And when we did
talk, he explained why NT Factor (the subject of much of his research) is the
only real solution for chronic fatigue.
You see, it’s impossible to avoid oxidative stress, literally impossible. And the
mitochondria inner lipids, being especially delicate, need constant replacement.
When those lipids are inevitably damaged, your body will try to fix them.
But to do that, it needs an ample supply of the right lipids, and they have to be
in perfect condition—which is nearly impossible. Even if you’re taking lipid sup-
plements (like fish oil, for example), what eventually gets to your cells isn’t perfect.
Those lipids have to be pristine, completely flawless, when they reach
your mitochondria. They have to be protected during storage, ingestion, and
digestion—not a simple task, and nearly impossible to attain.
But NT Factor acts like a “shuttle carrier” to deliver perfect lipids. In that
carrier, they are protected against oxidation, and remain undamaged and ready
to go. And when they reach the target, they directly restore function to your
mitochondria.
“You can literally see it happen,” Dr. Nicolson told me. “With fluorescent
dyes, we got visual confirmation of how NT Factor works.”
And once he figured out how it worked, he started investigating just what
this “lipid replacement therapy” could really do.
Turn back your mitochondrial clock by
decades and watch your energy return
Everything chips away at mitochondrial health, and one of the biggest cul-
prits is aging. So a group of scientists (including Dr. Nicolson) decided to find
out just what impact NT Factor would have on older people (at least 60 years
old) troubled by mild to moderate fatigue. And they were truly impressed with
the results.^2
After taking NT Factor for eight weeks, subjects’ mitochondrial function
was increased by 26.8%, the same level of function you’d find in young adults.
Remember, these subjects were all over 60 (in fact, the average age was about
69 years old). But now their mitochondria were working like they were much,
much younger.
Another key—and slightly surprising—finding came out of the study. NT
Factor had a substantial effect on moderate fatigue (as classified by the Piper
Fatigue Scale), but not on mild fatigue. Basically, the worse the fatigue, the bet-
ter NT Factor worked. In just four weeks, those suffering moderate fatigue saw
a 20.2% improvement. By the eight week mark, fatigue was reduced by 33%.
