CoQ10 is a component of the mitochondria and plays
a key role in the synthesis of ATP. B vitamins are
important cofactors needed to fuel the Krebs cycle,
while optimal serum levels of magnesium are
associated with healthy mitochondrial metabolism
and nutrient transport.1 Nicotinamide
mononucleotide (NMN) is a unique form of vitamin
B3 that gets converted into nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ declines with age and
plays an important role in energy production within
the mitochondria and cellular repair.
2 Preliminary research suggests NMN supports synthesis of NAD+ in tissues, supporting cellular function and
longevity, energy metabolism, aerobic capacity and
glucose homeostasis. 3-5 Acetyl-l-carnitine provides
carnitine to transport long chain fatty acids into the
mitochondria for energy as well as an acetyl group
for the synthesis of the Krebs cycle precursor acetyl-
CoA.6 Highly pure creatine monohydrate helps
enhance the production of the ATP by acting as a
precursor. This formula provides antioxidant
support with vitamins C and E, as well as
resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl-l-
cysteine.7-9 Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals generated during energy production in the mitochondria. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, the combination of creatine, CoQ10 and alpha lipoic acid supported energy production and antioxidant status within the mitochondria.
