Power Fuel
Power Fuel is a vegetarian, orange flavored power formula that supports mitochondrial function to reduce fatigue and restore cellular function.
The ingredients in Power Fuel focus on improving:
• Energy via the production and recycling of ATP
• Exercise tolerance
• Cardiovascular output
• Muscle strength and recovery
• Oxygen utilization and physical stamina
• Athletic performance and endurance
About ATP and Mitochondria
• ATP
ATP(adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy molecule in cells. It is generated within the mitochondria. ATP is composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups. When in use the ATP is broken down into ADP (Adenosine Di Phosphate) to provide energy. Energy from the breakdown of ATP drives many important reactions in the cell. This means that ATP needs to be constantly produced especially during exercise.
• Mitochondria
They are tiny organelles found in every cell in the body. They are known as the “powerhouse of the cell” and are responsible for creating more than 90% of cellular energy. Mitochondria are necessary in the body to sustain life and support growth. They are composed of tiny packages of enzymes that turn nutrients into cellular energy.
Power Fuel contains:
• D-Ribose
A naturally occurring sugar that has been shown to support the production and recycling of ATP which helps to increase energy formation in stressed tissues.
• DMG
Dimethylglycine is a metabolic enhancer that helps the body overcome various forms of stress such as aging, poor oxygen supply, free radical damage and a weakened immune system. As a methyl donor it contributes methyl groups to keep ATP levels high.
• CoQ10
An anti-oxidant and a naturally occurring cofactor in cellular energy, it is vital to the production of ATP. It improves the heart’s pumping ability, improves circulation, increases tolerance to exercise and improves the heart’s muscle tone. As a powerful anti-oxidant it helps protect heart tissue from free radical damage. CoQ10 levels decline after the age of 35.
• Acetyl-L-Carnitine
A derivative of the amino acid, carnitine. It supports heart function by transporting fatty acids from the blood through to the mitochondrial membranes and into heart cells so the fatty acids can be converted into ATP. The heart requires a constant supply of ATP in order to provide enough energy for it to keep beating regularly.
• Malic acid
Is involved in energy production in muscle cells. It also increases ATP production due to its involvement in the Krebs cycle. Malic acid is also needed for glucose metabolism, which is important for nourishing muscles and nerves.
• Protease
A proteolytic enzyme that decreases muscle soreness following intense exercise or activities.
• Magnesium
Is vital to the body and helps normalize blood pressure and steady heart rhythm. Adults who consume the proper amount of magnesium are more likely to have lowered inflammation markers. There's some evidence that eating foods high in magnesium and other minerals can help prevent high blood pressure in people with prehypertension.
• Dicalcium Phosphate
A synergistic blend of calcium and phosphates, which have a beneficial advantage for weight training recovery. Phosphates are a group of chemicals that work with calcium (and other minerals such as potassium) to increase basic muscular and bone health. In addition to building bone (as is well known), calcium supplements muscle strength and regulates blood pressure.
• Rhodiola
A herb that supports cellular energy metabolism. It promotes higher levels of ATP and CP (creatine phosphate) thus providing more of the energy molecules needed to perform many daily activities
• Bromelain
A proteolytic enzyme that supports muscle recovery. It has been shown to alleviate muscle soreness after intense muscle contractions.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop (7.2 g) with water daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For workout support, mix one scoop with water before and after your workout.
Warning: If hypoglycemic, diabetic or pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare practitioner before taking this product.
