Zao® Mito Fuel is a vegetarian, gluten-free, orange-flavored powdered formula that supports mitochondrial function to reduce fatigue and restore cellular function.*
Zao® Mito Fuel supports:
Energy via the production and recycling of ATP*
Exercise tolerance*
Cardiovascular output*
Muscle strength and recovery*
Oxygen utilization and physical stamina*
Athletic performance and endurance*
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP is a high energy molecule in cells. It is generated within the mitochondria. ATP is composed of adenosine (an adenine ring and ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. When in use, ATP is broken down to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to provide energy.
Mitochondria
Mitochondria are tiny organelles found in every cell in the body. They are known as the "powerhouse of the cell" and are responsible for creating more than 90% of cellular energy. Mitochondria are necessary in the body to sustain life and support growth. They are composed of tiny packages of enzymes that turn nutrients into cellular energy. Mitochondria failure causes cell injury that leads to cell death. When multiple organ cells die, there is organ failure. In adults, many challenges associated with aging have been found to have defects of Mitochondria functions.*
Zao® Mito Fuel contains:
D-Ribose - a naturally occurring sugar that has been shown to support the production and recycling of ATP, which helps to increase energy formation in stressed tissues.*
DMG - a metabolic enhancer that helps the body overcome various forms of stress such as aging, poor oxygen availability, free radical damage and a weakened immune system. As a methyl donor, it contributes methyl groups to keep ATP levels high.*
CoQ10 - an antioxidant and a naturally occurring cofactor in cellular energy. It is vital to the production of ATP. It improves the heart's pumping ability, improves blood circulation, increases tolerance to exercise and improves the heart's muscle tone.* As a powerful antioxidant, it helps protect heart tissue from free radical damage.* CoQ10 levels decline after the age of 35.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine - a derivative of the amino acid, carnitine. It supports heart function by transporting fatty acids from the blood into the mitochondrial membranes and into heart cells so the fatty acids can be converted into ATP.* The heart requires a constant supply of ATP in order to provide enough energy for it to keep beating regularly.
Malic Acid - is involved in energy production in muscle cells. It also increases ATP production because it's involved in the Krebs cycle. Malic acid is also needed for glucose metabolism, which is important for nourishing muscles and nerves.
Rhodiola - an herb (Rhodiola rosea) that supports cellular energy metabolism.* It promotes higher levels of ATP and CP (creatine phosphate), thus providing more for the energy molecule needed to perform many daily activities.* We use the Rhodiola rosea species and it is standardized to contain the proven 3:1 ratio of 3 percent rosavins and 1 percent salindosides.
Bromelain - a proteolytic enzyme that supports muscle recovery.* It has been shown to alleviate muscle soreness after intense muscle contractions.*
Protease - a proteolytic enzyme that decreases muscle soreness following intense exercise.
