Supports
-
Nutrients - amino acids, antioxidants
- Energy - cognition, memory, athletic performance
- Longevity - cardiovascular health, migraine
Feature Ingredients
- Provides a high dose of clinically relevant amounts of key nutrients, including 300 mg of CoQ10 and 1500 mg of Acetyl-L-carnitine
- Contains a combination of ancient peat and apple extracts shown to increase ATP levels, the primary currency of cellular energy, without increasing reactive oxygen species
- Antioxidant protection from superoxide dismutase and OpitacTM L-glutathione provides redox balance within the cell
$overview$
$details$
Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of the cell, consuming 80–90% of a cell’s oxygen to produce ATP via the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) process. Impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics underly both the aging process and many chronic cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological conditions.1
- Acetyl-L-carnitine shuttles fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, essential for generating energy via fatty acid metabolism. It has been shown to improve fatigue, neurological and cognitive function, and blood pressure.2, 3, 4, 5
- The antioxidant CoQ10 is a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and an essential cofactor in the electron transport system. It has shown clinical benefit form any conditions, including hypertension and migraine.6
- ElevATP™ is a blend of plant bio-inorganic trace minerals and an apple extract rich in polyphenols such as rocyanidins and chlorogenic acid. It has been shown to increase whole blood ATP levels as well as exercise performance and body composition, without an increase in reactive oxygen species.7, 8, 9, 10
-
Given that mitochondria are the primary source of free radical production within a cell, the bioavailable OpitacTM L-glutathione and superoxide dismutase (from Extramel®) are also key components. They are critical to redox balance within a cell and have been shown to reduce perceived stress and fatigue.11, 12, 13

Recommended Use
Adults 19+: 1 heaping scoop (2.4 g) per day dissolved in 250 ml of water or as directed by a health care practitioner. Take with food. Ensure you drink enough fluid before, during, and after exercise. Use a minimum of 4 weeks to see beneficial effects.

$caution$
Contraindications
Do not use if you are hypersensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients.
Caution
Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are taking any medications, or if you have any pre-existing condition. Discontinue this product 2 weeks prior to surgery.
While no specific contraindication exists or is predicted, data is lacking for use during pregnancy, lactation, and in children, and the dosage may need to be reduced for those under the age of 18.
Although very little evidence supports this interaction, a potential interaction is possible for those taking the anticoagulant Coumadin and both CoQ10 and acetyl-l-carnitine. Close monitoring of the INR is recommended in these patients. No other negative drug interactions are known for CoQ10, though a number of medications inhibit CoQ10 synthesis or function in the body, including statin or blood pressure medications, tricyclic antidepressants, and oral hypoglycemic agents, suggesting a potential benefit of combined use.
Side Effect Risks
Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist, worsen or you develop any reactions which may include: allergy or intolerance. Keep out of reach of children. Sealed for your protection. Do not use if seal is broken. For freshness, store in a cool, dry place.
