Mitochondrial ATP Energy- Your Source For Cellular Energy

The new science of cellular energy involves a turning of protein, carbohydrates and fats consumed into cellular energy by way of our mitochondria. The mitochondria are organelles vital to the existence of our cells without which there would be no life possible. These basic nutrients are processed in the mitochondria through a system known as the kreb's cycle to produce the basic unit of cellular energy known as ATP.

Without ATP we would not have the molecular power to run the machinery sustaining our lives at a cellular level. As these ATP units of energy become deplete from lack of basic nutrition to support a proper number of mitochondria (our cellular powerhouses) this leads to breakdown of our immune functions, to over exhaustion of our basic resources, and eventually to cellular death.

Our organs are but a grouping of cells which have agreed to perform a single, solitary purposeful function within your body. Thus organs are but neighboring communities of cells which have uniformly agreed to perform a vital function inside of the universe of your body. The loss of cellular ATP energy leads to system breakdown, organ malfunctioning to eventual organ atrophy, and death.

Conditions Resulting From The Loss of Mitochondrial ATP Energy

The consequence of age related chronic cellular energy loss include:

• Coronary Artery Disease and Cerebrovascular Disease
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Arthritis
• Dementia
• Macular Degeneration (Age Related Blindness)
• Autoimmune Disorders (Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma and more)

All of these conditions are the direct result of not making enough cellular energy to keep cells (and thus organs) functioning efficiently leading to cellular entropy. So how do you ramp up the energy production?

There are biomarkers we can measure to show an improvement in the overall functioning of our mitochondria. Things like muscle mass, strength, basal metabolic rate, body fat composition, aeorbic (exercise) capacity, blood sugar tolerance, cholesterol levels, bone density and temperature regulation serve as markers of how well our mitochondria function.

Lean Body Mass Is The Single Most Important Indicator of Mitochondrial Aging

In the book, Biomarkers: 10 Determinants of Aging You Can Control by William Evan & Irwin Rosenberg, Tufts University studies revealed that lean body mass was the single most important biomarker to determine aging.

The best way of maintaining or regaining lean body mass is through optimal production of energy via ATP production. Thus maintaining cellular energy production by maintaining the health of your mitochondria is the main focus of any anti-aging program.

How To Use Nutrient Therapy To Improve Our Mitochondrial Functions

Nutrition to maintain mitochondrial life is available.

Mito-Boost™ Caps, a Respiratory Chain Optimizer, Product ID: CP1790 from Complementary Prescriptions provides many of the key minerals in succinate form to support mitochondrial production of ATP, the bodyÕs Òenergy molecule.Ó Read this article on Important Nutrients for Mitochondrial and Diabetic Health.

Coenzyme Q10-H2; Caps, for Cellular Energy Production, Product ID: CP6301 from Complementary Prescriptions is essential for the final steps in ATP production. Some of the functions of CoQ 10 include: improved cellular respiration, increased ATP production, reduced oxidative damage, reduced free radical production, improved membrane fluidity and specific to the myocardium, a supportive role with sodium-potassium enzyme activity and the calcium-dependent ion channels. Read this article on CoQ10-H2 as an important constituent of an Over-40 supplement regimen.
