The Benefits of ATP & Quercetin
ATP or adenosine triphosphate is the exact molecule the human body needs to create energy. There is extensive scientific evidence showing that supplementing with ATP has a dramatic effect on circulation without adversely affecting heart rate or blood pressure. ATP has real world applications for energy, athletic performance and overall health.

Bodily levels of ATP decline with age and other stressors - and declines in ATP stores are associated with impaired organ and muscle function. ยน

Studies on cells, animals and normal human subjects have shown that exogenous administration of ATP elevates ATP levels in blood and tissues and increases circulation. 2 Increased blood flow has a host of benefits, since blood is the delivery source of glucose, nutrients and oxygen for cells.

Functional Categories of ATP

Energy and Vitality, Athletic Performance, Anti-Aging

Benefits*

  • Elevates ATP levels in blood and tissues2
  • May increase overall energy levels, help reduce fatigue and enhance general well-being
  • May support muscular health
  • May help support cardiovascular and respiratory health
  • May assist in boosting mental acuity
Quercetin is a powerful bioflavonoidl found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly the skins of grapes, apples, red onions, and some berries. It assists in immune system and cardiovascular health as well as helping the body to increase mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) in muscle and brain. There is research showing quercetin being beneficial in increasing aerobic endurance and VO2max (maximal oxygen uptake) in men and women.

Functional Categories of Quercetin

  • May enhance energy levels
  • Promotes cardiovascular health
  • May promote immune system health
  • May promote arterial health via endothelial integrity
  • Assists in promoting healthy respiratory function
