Inside the Mitochondria: The source of all biological energy.
The shuttle that transports fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned.
"We use the Acetyl form because it crosses the blood-brain barrier to support cognitive energy."
A critical component of the Electron Transport Chain. Without it, the assembly line stops.
"Must be Ubiquinol (active form), not Ubiquinone. Statin drugs deplete this rapidly."
ATP must bind to a magnesium ion to be biologically active (Mg-ATP).
"Malate is preferred for energy (Krebs cycle); Glycinate is preferred for sleep."
Recycles used energy (ADP) back into usable energy (ATP) rapidly.
"Not just for muscles. It is the primary energy buffer for the brain during high-demand tasks."
Mitochondria produce toxic exhaust (free radicals). NAC builds Glutathione to scrub this waste.
"Supports protection of the machinery from oxidative stress during energy production."
Triggers Mitophagy: the process of identifying old, broken engines and recycling them.
"Hard to get from diet (pomegranates) in clinical doses. Supplementation is key for longevity."
