The body’s cells and organ systems rely on a sufficient energy supply to function properly. The mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, contain nutrients and enzymes essential for cellular energy metabolism, including those that convert food into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the primary energy source for all cells. To boost mitochondrial output, there must be enough fuel for combustion and plenty of antioxidants to neutralize free radical by-products. Maintaining our energy reserves and increasing energy output is vital for optimal health.
Lack of sleep, excessive stress, poor nutrition, and prescription medications can deplete energy reserves faster than they can be replaced. Even vital biological systems can create an energy deficit that needs to be replenished.
MitoCORE® is scientifically formulated based on published research to enhance mitochondrial reserves and restore cellular energy production. MitoCORE® features the powerful antioxidant trio of alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, and acetyl L-carnitine, all proven to recharge cellular energy and support the primary antioxidant pools of glutathione, vitamins E and C. It also includes key micronutrients and phytonutrients, such as green tea, broccoli seed extract, and resveratrol, to protect the mitochondria and sustain the energy production cycle.
Suggested Use:
2-4 capsules daily or as recommended by your healthcare professional.
Benefits
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) is an amino acid linked to increased energy production. It has been shown to boost the flow of free fatty acids, the fuel source for mitochondria, leading to a significant increase in energy output. As we age, the production of free radicals rises, causing oxidative damage to mitochondria, which can lower energy production. ALC has been demonstrated to enhance cellular energy (ATP) production and, when combined with lipoic acid, to reduce oxidative stress. Research also indicates that ALC supports immune function by protecting CD4 and CD8 immune cells and promoting the reproduction of lymphocytes for identifying and eliminating invading antigens.
N-Acetyl Cysteine
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and aids liver detoxification. NAC has been proven to increase the production of glutathione, a vital antioxidant in the body. Besides its antioxidant effects, glutathione boosts the immune system by activating T-cells, helping to maintain immune balance.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that works synergistically to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10, and glutathione. Lipoic acid also plays an essential role in detoxification. Studies have shown that combining ALA with acetyl L-carnitine helps lessen oxidative damage. Oxidative stress harms DNA, RNA, proteins, mitochondrial membranes, and lipids, contributing to the decline of mitochondria, cells, tissues, and eventually organs like the brain.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in many plants, including grapes and cranberries, and is present at high levels in wine. Polyphenols serve as antioxidants that protect plants from damage caused by bacteria, fungi, and radiation. Resveratrol is thought to be the dietary factor behind the “French Paradox,” which explains the high levels of cardiovascular health observed in the French population despite their high-fat diets. Besides its antioxidant properties and support for heart health, resveratrol has been shown to enhance immune function.
Broccoli Seed Extract
Broccoli seed extract is rich in glucoraphanin, a precursor to sulphoraphane. Sulphoraphane is a potent antioxidant that supports detoxification and immune response. It has been shown to induce Phase II detoxification enzymes and increase intracellular glutathione levels.
Green Tea (EGCG)
Green tea polyphenols have notable antioxidant, probiotic, and immune-supporting effects. The hydroxyl groups in green tea polyphenols neutralize free radicals by forming complexes, thus reducing oxidative damage across the body. These polyphenols also stimulate liver detoxification enzymes, helping to eliminate harmful chemicals from the body.
Micronutrients
To efficiently boost cellular energy production, optimal levels of essential nutrients and enzyme cofactors are necessary. MitoCORE® is a multivitamin formulated with a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals that support increased energy output and help meet daily nutritional needs.
