Mitochondria: THE POWER SUPPLY FOR 37 TRILLION CELLS
Mitochondria are the power source that supplies the energy that allows each cell, tissue, and organ to operate at its optimum. Mitochondria also help maintain cellular homeostasis, ionic calcium balance, blood sugar regulation, cellular insulin sensitivity, fat deposition and lipolysis, endocannabinoid tone, and the regulation of communication and control of neurotransmitters and transmitter receivers. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory generator that inhibits neural excitotoxins, protects mitochondrial structural and functional proteins, mtDNA, and nuclear DNA. Mitochondria are intimately involved in the production of the adrenal, reproductive, and metabolic hormones.
Mitochondria decline with age, because of oxidative damage to the enzymes that synthesize Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG), Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA), and other Krebs cycle metabolites, as well as CoQ10, vitamin C, vitamin E and other nutritional deficiencies.
KetoRX
Calcium BHB (calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate) a ketone that our body produces when breaking down fat. Calcium BHB converts fat into energy Inhibits excess fat production Supresses appetite Moderates eating behavior Increases serotonin - reducing emotional eating Increases energy production - more efficient than glucose for brain energy Improves sleep Reduces brain fatigue Regulates glucose and insulin sensitivity MCT oil Increases metabolism Increases fat burning Reduces appetite Increases energy
AKG
AKG is a key intermediary within the Krebs cycle or citric acid cycle. The Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions to release the stored energy from the derivatives of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. AKG regulates the speed of the Krebs cycle, but has multiple other functions, including amino acid production, cellular signaling, regulating gene expression, and powering stem cells. AKG is also involved in increasing circulating levels of insulin, growth hormone, and insulin like growth factors. Declining AKG means that the mitochondria are able to produce less energy. Declining energy levels adversely affect every cell, tissue, and organ in the body, decreasing brain function, heart, liver, kidney, gut, muscle, and bone activity. Declining energy levels decrease the regulatory systems that control inflammation and oxidative stress. Declining AKG levels decrease stem cell numbers by as much as 75%, and stem cell function can be reduced by as much as 90%.
