All cellular systems depend on an adequate supply of energy. Many people know that mitochondria are the cellular organelles responsible for producing all of the cell’s energy. Like any good furnace, the mitochondria burn fuel (glucose and free fatty acids) to produce both energy (ATP) and a variety of waste products (free radicals and carbon dioxide). The ratio of energy production to free radical generation creates an energy paradox: The more rapidly we produce energy, the more free radicals we produce that can harm our ability to effectively produce life-giving energy. K-PAX has been clinically proven to provide the nutrition necessary to maintain this delicate balance allowing for optimal energy production. Proper nutrition plays a critical role in ensuring energy is produced rapidly, but efficiently, allowing the cycle to continue effortlessly.
Foundational Micronutrients
K-PAX provides the “optimized backbone” of antioxidant vitamins and minerals necessary to ensure healthy energy output of the mitochondria. No one antioxidant nutrient is enough! Proper energy production requires a symphony of antioxidants capable of recharging our primary antioxidant pools. In particular, when mitochondria are under stress, it is important to maintain high levels of micronutrients to maintain energy homeostasis.
Mitochondria Triple Combination - Smart Antioxidant Supplementation
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Believed to be one of the cell's most versatile and important antioxidants, Alpha Lipoic Acid works to help detoxify free radicals that are generated when cells are under stress. Alpha Lipoic Acid, when combined with other vitamins and minerals, works maximally to support immune, hepatic,and nervous systems, and also recharges Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Glutathione—other key antioxidants in the body.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine
Studies performed at Stanford University have shown that individuals with severely compromised immune systems are deficient in NAC and that when this potent antioxidant is supplemented, there is a significant stabilization of immune function. Oral NAC supplementation has also been shown to increase glutathione levels critical to overall health.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Once the antioxidant pools of the mitochondria have been primed for greater energy production, it is time to increase the fuel supply. The primary ingredient in K-PAX which ignites cellular energy production at the mitochondrial level is Acetyl-L-Carnitine. It increases the flow of free fatty acids into the mitochondria, enriching the fuel mixture and directly boosting energy production. When certain micronutrients are combined with a therapeutic amount of Acetyl-L-Carnitine, the mixture can be used as a high octane fuel supplement to enhance mitochondrial energy production and produce clinically significant results.
