Cannabis

Cannabis, also [controvers­ially] called "marijuana", or "weed", as a medication for the relief and management of pain and inflammation related symptoms. Available in topical, smokable, and edible forms. Best in combination, but individually, topical is best for immediate targeted relief of joint and nerve pain, smokable is best for broader muscle pain, and edible is best for general internal pain. Anecdotally, full spectrum products are more effective than individual compound concentrates for long-term efficacy.

CoQ10

This naturally occurring, vitamin-like compound is present in almost every cell and is crucial for generating energy within the mitochondria, while also acting as a potent antioxidant. Its highest concentrations are found in organs with high energy demands like the heart and liver, though the body's production tends to decrease with age. While obtainable in small amounts from dietary sources like meat and fish, it is often taken as a supplement to support cellular energy and potentially benefit conditions related to heart health or aging.
