All cells in our bodies contain tiny organelles called mitochondria that function to produce cellular energy by means of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cycle. The number of mitochondria in a cell varies widely by organism and by tissue type. A human cell can have from a few to several thousand mitochondria. One of the most serious events that causes the loss of cellular vitality is the depletion of mitochondrial energy-producing function. Cells require healthy mitochondrial activity to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes.
As mitochondrial function weakens in our cells, so does the vitality of organs such as the heart and brain or in some cases, the entire body In order for the mitochondria to create the energy needed to sustain cellular function, fatty acids (which serve as the mitochondria's fuel) must be transported through the cell membrane and into the mitochondria.
This formula is designed to counteract age-related structural and functional changes and promote biogenesis with these unique ingredients:
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) â€" this next generation cellular rejuvenator triggers growth ofnew mitochondria in aging cells … and activates genes involved in protecting delicate structures within the mitochondria.
Carnosine â€" As humans age, their proteins become irreversibly damaged by lethal glycation reactions. Glycation is the cross-linking of proteins or lipids and sugar to form non-functioning advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in the body, which can lead to alterations of normal cell function. Carnosine is not only the premier anti-glycating agent, but it also protects neurons against reactive and cytotoxic protein carbonyl species associated with normal aging.
