Power Fuel is a vegetarian, gluten-free, powdered, orange-flavored formula designed to support mitochondrial function to help manage fatigue and support cellular activity.* Reformulated to include electrolytes, Power 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* About ATP and MitochondriaATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high energy molecule in cells. It is generated within the mitochondria. ATP is composed of adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. When in use ATP is broken down to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to provide energy. Energy from the breakdown of ATP drives many important reactions in the cell. This means that ATP needs to be constantly produced, especially during exercise. 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 for the body to sustain life and support growth. They are composed of tiny packages of enzymes that turn nutrients into cellular energy. Mitochondrial failure causes cell injury that leads to cell death. When multiple organ cells die there can be organ failure. In adults, many challenges associated with aging have been found to have defects in mitochondrial function.
