MaxATP Ingredients

 So, what are the ingredients in MaxATP?  Unlike many store bought “energy products” MaxATP is not a sugar/caffeine cocktail. Instead Max-ATP is a combination of vitamins, minerals and leading edge natural nutrition supplements to support and replenish your body’s healthy production of ATP.

 

Those ingredients are:

  • Ribose (a natural sugar you body must have to produce ATP)
  • N-acetyl- L-carnitine (which transports long chain fatty acids from the liver to be metabolized by the mitochondria)
  • RiboCeine – a Ribose-Cysteine compound which not only fuels the production of ATP but also supports the production of Glutathione (more)
  • Green Tea Extract – which provides antioxidant support and a NATURAL source of caffeine to boost your metabolism and promote mental alertness. Along with RiboCeine the green tea extract in MaxATP supports your production of Glutathione
  • Rhodiola rosea

    Rhodiola Rosea – to enhance mental performance and lessen the symptoms of fatigue. You might actually recognize this plant . Looks a lot like one of my garden favourites

  • Quercetin – an antioxidant
  • CoEnzyme Q10  another powerful antioxidant that stays in the mitochondria and supports both energy production and the elimination of toxic wastes
  • B Vitamins The B Vitamins act as coenzymes to help your body break down fats, amino acids and carbohydrates to produce energy. 
  • Magnesium is an essential catalyst in all energy dependent reactions in the body that include the use of ATP
  • Copper supports the synthesis of ATP in the mitochondria which is the part of the cell responsible for energy production
  • Chromium is not produced in the body and must come from diet -which is what the term essential means in relation to nutrient requirements. It helps cells absorb glucose (sugar)  and release energy.

What is ATP?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a naturally produced organic compound that’s made up of three different phosphate groups and adenosine (which includes ribose- a sugar). ATP is an abundant source of chemical energy which is stored in the phospate bound in it. When these bonds are broken the energy is released to become what is described and the currency that funds your metabolisms. ATP is produced in the mitochondria over every human cell via celluar respiration. Plants produce ATP in the chloroplasts through the process – photosynthesis.

As long as lots of ATP is present in your cells, your energy levels can be sustained and your cellular tissues will function properly. However, as with so many other things, as we age, our bodies become much less efficient at producing ATP. Our energy levels begin to decline and our cells do not function as effectively. It’s also useful to note, that while ATP stokes the fires of our metabolic processes at the cellular level, it also produces some waste products (just like the ashes in a fireplace) which left alone will accumulate in the cell and actually damage the mitochondria which produce it.

So, the process which produces our energy contains within it, the seeds of it’s own destruction. It’s all part of aging which may be inevitable, but there’s no reason to accept it prematurely. One substance that can help protect cellular mitochondria, from the waste it produces, is Glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant.
