ATP-Plus Energy with PEAK ATP

Now with PEAK ATP, provides immediately available ATP. ATP is a compound that serves as the immediate source of energy for the body's cells. It increases energy and stamina, builds muscle density, increases muscle strength, buffers lactic acid buildup, (the reason for sore, achy muscles after physical activity), delays fatigue and preserves muscle fibers. While ATP powers nearly every human function, ATP levels decline with age and in response to stress. Low ATP levels are associated with impaired organ and muscle function. PEAK ATP delivers the "exact molecule" the human body needs to create energy. Magnesium is a key mineral cofactor for many anaerobic as well as aerobic reactions that generate energy, and has an oxygen-sparing effect. It is essential for the cells' mitochondria "powerhouses" to function normally, being involved in both the production and utilization of ATP. Malic acid also has an oxygen sparing effect and there are a number of indications that malic acid is a very critical molecule in controlling mitochondrial function. Malate is a source of energy from the Krebs cycle and is the only metabolite of the cycle which falls in concentration during exhaustive physical activity. Depletion of malate has also been linked to physical exhaustion. By giving malic acid and magnesium as dietary supplements, flexibility to use aerobic and anaerobic energy sources can be enhanced and energy production can be boosted.

Three all-vegetable capsules contain:  90 per bottle  $18.00
Magnesium (as magnesium hydroxide) 300 mg.
Malic Acid 1200 mg.

Other ingredients: magnesium stearate, rice flour.

Suggested Use:
Take one capsule one hour before meals with a glass of water three times daily, or more, as directed by a doctor.

INDICATIONS:
ATP Plus is indicated for increased production of ATP and oxygen-sparing.

ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is the substance which stores energy that is created when the body burns carbohydrates and fats in the citric acid cycle. When energy is needed by the body (as, for example, in muscular contraction), ATP is broken down to release the stored energy. ATP is the universal energy molecule for the body in the same way that electricity is the universal energy source for a computer.

Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Related Conditions Respond to Magnesium and Malic Acid

According to the CFS Research Foundation in Santa Barbara, California, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) specialists are now recommending a malic acid/magnesium hydroxide complex for the treatment of CFS and related pain of primary fibromyalgia. Dr. Daniel Peterson, a pioneer in CFS research, states, “...approximately 40% of those who have tried this supplement show some type of benefit.” Dr. Jay Goldstein of Los Angeles has found magnesium and malic acid to be a safe, inexpensive supplement and recommends that it be added to the list of potential beneficial substances for chronic fatigue.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a clinical syndrome of generalized musculoskeletal pain, stiffness and chronic aching, common in middle-aged women (between the ages of 30 and 50). (2) The association of FM with irritable bowl syndrome, tension headache, dysmenorrhea (2,3), mitral valve prolapse (2,4) and chronic fatigue syndrome (2,5) has been reported.

In a clinical test with 15 FM patients using a total daily dosage of 300-600 mg. of elemental magnesium and 1200-1400 mg. of malic acid, all patients reported significant improvement of pain within 48 hours of starting the supplement. After an average of eight weeks on the supplement, six patients were switched to a placebo. Myalgia recurred within 48 hours in all patients on the placebo. (2) Fatigue symptoms may take approximately 2 weeks to respond to the supplement. (1)

Researchers now believe that FM and related symptoms may be a result of deficiencies of substances needed for ATP synthesis. Synthesis of proteins, fats and carbohydrates necessary for cellular integrity, normal activity and function is dependent on ATP availability which supplies the energy for their synthesis and actions. (2)

The synthesis of ATP by intact respiring mitochondria requires the presence of oxygen, magnesium, substrate, ADP and inorganic phosphate. The ingredients required for ATP synthesis are listed in the table on the left, together with some conditions which may cause a deficiency of each of these. (2)
