Today, we’re going to discuss what causes tremors. So, what are tremors? There are essential tremors that are more progressive and aggravated by movement and resting tremors that occur when sitting still.
There is a high correlation between mitochondrial diseases and movement disorders. The nervous system requires a tremendous amount of energy, so it also requires very healthy mitochondria. When someone has a neurodegenerative disease, they usually have dysfunction in the mitochondria.
Vitamin B2 and coenzyme Q10 are essential for FAD, which is vital for turning food into energy. Vitamin B2 also helps support the myelin sheath of your neurons.
People who are deficient in vitamin B2 sometimes have neurodegenerative problems, neuropathologies, and swelling in the nervous system. Vitamin B2 acts as a precursor to help protect the mitochondria and help correct tremors.
Coenzyme Q10 plays a similar role, helping to transport electrons from food so they can be converted into ATP, which provides cells with energy.
If you take statins, you could become deficient in coenzyme Q10. This can cause all sorts of neurological and muscular symptoms, including tremors, which are a side effect of statins.
If you have tremors, consider taking 800 mg of B2 daily, split into two portions, 400 mg in the morning and 400 mg before bed. Also, try taking 1000 mg of coenzyme Q10—500 mg in the morning and 500 mg in the afternoon.

0:00.0 | I have something very interesting to share with you regarding tremors. |
0:05.2 | I found something that's quite fascinating. |
0:08.3 | A lot of times tremors are misdiagnosed with Parkinson's when you don't necessarily have to have Parkinson's to have tremors. |
0:15.0 | There's a type of tremor called essential tremor which is more progressive into a bigger problem over time |
0:22.0 | and that's aggravated when you move versus a resting tremor |
0:26.4 | which you're you're resting and you're having this tremor going on and I found the author of this patent was a neurologist. |
0:35.0 | So obviously they knew something about tremors. |
0:38.0 | And so I studied it and I found something fascinating I want to share with you. |
0:42.0 | If you take high doses of Vitamin B2 and high |
0:47.8 | doses of co-enzyme Q10, apparently you can improve this symptom greatly, but in this document I could not find the |
0:58.4 | mechanism of why that would help someone. |
1:19.0 | That was just the start of my research in this area and I did a whole deep dive into it and I found something even more interesting. I found the mechanism of why these two nutrients would work and what amounts you would need to take to create a positive effect. There's a high correlation between mitochondrial diseases, |
1:22.8 | okay, mitochondria is the energy factor of the body |
1:25.7 | and movement disorders. |
1:28.3 | You see your nervous system requires a tremendous amount of energy, so it requires very healthy mitochondria. |
1:37.0 | And when someone has neurodegenerative diseases or pathologies or anything related to that, they're usually going to have a |
1:46.9 | dysfunction in the mitochondria. And so the question is what does |
1:51.2 | Vitamin B2 and co-enzyme Q10 have to do with the mitochondria? |
1:56.1 | Well, a lot. The mitochondria is all about turning food into energy. ATP. |
2:03.0 | ATP is like a battery. |
2:05.0 | In the process of breaking down food into energy, |
2:10.0 | there is a compound, like a carrier thing on the assembly line that extracts energy out of food. |
