Mitochondria are commonly known as the “powerhouse of the cell”, and they produce the vast majority of energy that cells use. Mitochondria serve many other purposes, but their main function is energy production.  Approximately 20 ingredients in both products are focused on “mito” support (mitochondrial energy metabolism) while the remainder support general neuro-nutrition.  However, EnergyNeeds contains some added ingredients that are not available in SpectrumNeeds along with higher dosing of specific mitochondrial support ingredients (shown below) which positions EnergyNeeds as a more comprehensive “mito cocktail” targeted toward adolescent and adult users, who can swallow capsules.
