Mitochondria Take Center Stage

Researchers at Texas A & M University have discovered that it is the mitochondria that signals the DNA to initiate cell division. This profound discovery means that protecting and energizing mitochondria just became a topic of immense proportion – if you would like to be healthy and live longer.

ALC and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Reduce Brain Aging

A detailed mitochondrial analysis of rats fed Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid has shown that these nutrients prevented the age-associated decline in the number of mitochondria in brain cells as well as typical damage that occurs to brain cells with aging.

Nutrients Safely Boost Metabolism in Diabetic Rats

New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore health, and as a recent clinical trial proves the more aggressively they are used to treat diabetes the higher the risk for death.

Poor Response to Exercise in Young Type 2 Diabetics

Type 2 diabetes is a difficult health problem because multiple aspects of calorie utilization simply don’t work properly. A study with young adults (ages 18 - 25) shows the cellular problem is worse than thought. Normally exercise conditions cells to make more energy by facilitating the development of additional mitochondria (cellular engines). This study showed that young Type 2 diabetic adults failed to activate the gene signals required for this exercise benefit, in turn making their metabolic problem more difficult to resolve

Acetyl-l-carnitine Extends Cellular Lifespan

Acetyl-l-carnitine is a popular dietary supplement for cardiovascular health, nerve health, memory, fat metabolism, and sex hormone function (in both men and women). A new study with yeast cells shows that acetyl-l-carnitine can significantly extend their lifespan.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids Extend Lifespan

A groundbreaking study has demonstrated that feeding middle-aged male mice branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) extended their lifespan by 12% while rejuvenating the cellular engines in their heart and muscles.

Lipoic Acid Rejuvenates Aging Antioxidant Defenses in Brain and Heart

Acceleration of the aging process is invariably associated with increased free radical damage associated with inflammation and weakening antioxidant defense systems. A number of new studies show that R alpha lipoic acid can rejuvenate these faltering antioxidant defense systems, helping to protect your brain, your cardiovascular system, and even assisting individuals with poor thyroid function.

Grape Seed Extract Boosts Muscle Energy & Calorie Burning

Several new studies are demonstrating a potent energetic improvement in muscles following supplementation with grape seed extract. These animal studies are unique as they are able to document which genes are getting activated, helping to prove the molecular function of grape seed extract to enhance energy production and exercise ability.

Lipoic Acid and ALC Rejuvenate Muscle and Liver Energy Production

R-Alpha lipoic Acid and Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) show synergistic activity towards boosting the energy production in cells. This information can be used to improve your ability to exercise or to help correct serious metabolic problems such as type 2 diabetes. Several recent studies illustrate how these nutrients work to enhance your production of energy.
