Support Youthful Cellular Energy

Youthful cellular energy is key to longer youth, longer life. And Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer with PQQ is a state-of-the-art nutritional formula that can help you take better care of the little powerhouses in every cell in your body … by protecting delicate cellular structures, enabling cells to perform life-sustaining metabolic processes, even helping generate new mitochondria! This innovative formula helps counteract age-related structural and functional changes and promote the growth of new mitochondria with these unique ingredients:

• PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) — triggers growth of new mitochondria in aging cells¹ … and activates genes involved in protecting delicate structures within the mitochondria.^2-6
• Carnosine —As humans age, proteins in their bodies become irreversibly damaged by glycation reactions.⁷ Glycation can lead to alterations of normal cell function.^8,9 Carnosine is a powerful anti-glycating agent, and protects neurons against reactive and cytotoxic protein carbonyl species associated with normal aging.^10-16
• Luteolin — Systemic inflammation is involved in most consequences of aging.^17,18 Culprits behind inflammatory reactions are pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Luteolin is a flavonoid that has been shown to help suppress these inflammatory cytokines.^19-35
• Benfotiamine — Human mortality studies indicate that ideal fasting glucose levels are between 70–85 mg/dL. Yet many aging people have fasting glucose above 90 mg/dL, which is not optimal. Benfotiamine can activate glucose metabolism and promote already healthy blood glucose levels. In addition, benfotiamine exhibits direct antioxidative capacity and supports healthy DNA function.^36-40
• Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate — the active form of vitamin B6 that has been shown to protect against both lipid and protein glycation reactions.^41-47
• R-Lipoic Acid — facilitates youthful mitochondrial energy output while guarding against free radicals. Two forms of lipoic acid are sold on the supplement market, but R-lipoic acid is far more potent.^48-55
• Taurine — this amino acid supports neurite growth⁵⁶ and powerfully protects the mitochondria⁵⁷ from oxidative damage to enhance energy production within cells.^56,58,59 Taurine is prevalent throughout the body⁶⁰ and found in especially high amounts in the metabolically active cells that require high mitochondrial energy production (brain,⁶⁰ nerve, and eye cells⁶¹ and heart⁶² and skeletal muscle⁶³).
