| Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer
incorporates the tremendous advances in our knowledge about
the importance of maintaining mitochondrial integrity as we
age. Scientists now know that mitochondrial decay in aging
is a major driving force behind the aging process.11,12
As the mitochondria burn fatty acids to
produce cellular energy, it generates a host of free
radicals in the process. That is why a mitochondrial
antioxidant like lipoic acid is so critical. This
comprehensive formula provides a much more potent form of
lipoic acid (called R-lipoic acid) than its predecessor,
ChronoForte, along with a more effective form of carnitine,
called acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate.*
Fatty acids that serve as the fuel for the
mitochondria are pulled across the mitochondrial membrane by
carnitine and other forms, like acetyl-l-carnitine.13,14
As we age, we lose the ability to pull fatty acids across
the membrane because of damage that occurs inside the
mitochondria. From birth we have a 1-2% leakage of reactive
oxygen species from the respiratory chain in the
mitochondria that increases dramatically with age;
generating huge amounts of free radicals.15
We call this leakage the “loss of respiratory control.”
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer formula
helps restore mitochondrial respiratory control by lowering
natural antioxidant leakage and boosting cellular levels of
R-lipoic acid, acetyl-l-carnitine, and endogenous
antioxidant enzymes.*
This product also provides a powerful new
antioxidant called SODzyme, a blend of soy, corn, and wheat
sprouts; carnosine, a guard against glycation;16
benfotiamine; vitamin B1 to protect cells against glucose
toxicity;17
rhodiola, an herb shown to support mental well being,
short-term memory, and concentration;18
and luteolin, a flavonoid shown to lower pro-inflammatory
agents.19*

Contains soybeans and wheat. Contains
gluten and corn. This product contains NO milk, egg,
fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish (lobster, crab,
shrimp), tree nuts, yeast, or rice. Contains NO
sugar, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors,

|
| Dosage and
Use |
 |
Take four capsules daily in
divided doses early in the day, or all at once upon
wakening, or as recommended by a healthcare
practitioner. |
|
|
This product can be taken with or
without food. |
|
| Caution |
| Individuals with anxiety, manic or
bipolar disorder should not use Rhodiola. Those allergic to
soy, corn, or wheat should take Mitochondrial Energy
Optimizer without SODzyme™. |
| Note |
| It is important to take four capsules per
day of the Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer in order to
benefit from carnosine. The reason for this is that the body
automatically metabolizes lower amounts of carnosine into an
inert substance, but the body cannot neutralize the amount
of carnosine (1000 mg) contained in four capsules of
Mitochondrial Energy Optimizer. |
