Product Description
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer incorporates the tremendous advances in our knowledge about the importance of maintaining mitochondrial integrity as we age. Scientists now know that mitochondrial decay in aging is a major driving force behind the aging process.11,12
As the mitochondria burn fatty acids to produce cellular energy, it generates a host of free radicals in the process. That is why a mitochondrial antioxidant like lipoic acid is so critical. This comprehensive formula provides a much more potent form of lipoic acid (called R-lipoic acid) than its predecessor, ChronoForte, along with a more effective form of carnitine, called acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate.*
Fatty acids that serve as the fuel for the mitochondria are pulled across the mitochondrial membrane by carnitine and other forms, like acetyl-l-carnitine.13,14 As we age, we lose the ability to pull fatty acids across the membrane because of damage that occurs inside the mitochondria. From birth we have a 1-2% leakage of reactive oxygen species from the respiratory chain in the mitochondria that increases dramatically with age; generating huge amounts of free radicals.15 We call this leakage the loss of respiratory control.
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer formula helps restore mitochondrial respiratory control by lowering natural antioxidant leakage and boosting cellular levels of R-lipoic acid, acetyl-l-carnitine, and endogenous antioxidant enzymes.*
This product also provides a powerful new antioxidant called SODzyme, a blend of soy, corn, and wheat sprouts; carnosine, a guard against glycation;16 benfotiamine; vitamin B1 to protect cells against glucose toxicity;17 rhodiola, an herb shown to support mental well being, short-term memory, and concentration;18 and luteolin, a flavonoid shown to lower pro-inflammatory agents |
