ATP (Adenosine-5'-triphosphate)

ATP (Adenosine-5'-triphosphate)   ATP is a multifunctional nucleotide. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer.  Continued Below

ATP is a very safe substance, however, it is not recommended for those with hypotension, due to possible hypotensive effects.   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 muscle safter physical activity), delays fatigue and preserves muscle fibers. 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. Studies have shown the effectiveness of glucosamine in the relief of joint problems, including encouraging the healing of connective tissue, luricating the joints and stimulating cartilage production.

In recent years, athletes have relied on creatine monohydrate in powdered form as a safe source of energy to help enable longer, more intense, more productive workouts. Creatine supplementation has aided in increased energy and stamina, increased muscle strength, buffering lactic acid buildup, delaying fatigue, and the preservation of muscle fibers for increased muscular gains. But, powdered creatine will break down into the useless waste product creatinine if it is not consumed immediately after mixing.   For energy, our body relies on compounds such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and creatine phosphate. These molecules are used to provide our cells with the fuel they need to keep running, especially during times of strenuous exercise. While these molecules provide us with energy, one consequence of strenuous exercise is a depletion of creatine phosphate and ATP from our cells. The degree and speed with which we can regenerate these compounds is closely associated with our ability to recover and continue to perform during future exercise. As a supplement, ATP is used to support energy production and maintenance for the healthy structure and function of the body.

Ribose, a naturally occurring substance used by every cell in the body to build energy. It is the critical compound in heart energy and the most fundamental building block of adenine triphospate (ATP), the primary source of energy for every cell in the body. Without ribose, your heart simply cannot rebuild energy that is depleted by heart disease.

D-Ribose is a crucial element in energy production. Creatine Monohydrate acts as a phosphate donor for ATP, the body's energy source! Taurine and Alpha Lipoic Acid have been studied extensively for their potential to support healthy insulin levels.   ATP, otherwise known as Adenosine Triphosphate, is present in almost all living cells where it acts as cellular fuel to support a host of metabolic processes. Practically all energy-requiring reactions, including DNA synthesis, cellular renewal, heart contractions and the thought process, rely on ATP energy stores. ATP levels may decline with age, which is why supplementation can be so important.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

When our body is called upon to produce energy it relies on ATP, or Adenosone-5-triphosphate.

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.

Ribose is a building block of adenine triphospate (ATP).

Magnesium is a key mineral cofactor in most of the body's reactions.

Malate is a source of energy FROM the Krebs cycle and falls in concentration during exhaustive physical activity. Physical exhaustion has been linked to a depletion of malate.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme.

ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced by photophosphorylation and cellular respiration and used by enzymes and structural proteins in many cellular processes, including biosynthetic reactions, motility, and cell division. One molecule of ATP contains three phosphate groups, and it is produced by ATP synthase from inorganic phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

Metabolic processes that use ATP as an energy source convert it back into its precursors.

ATP is therefore continuously recycled in organisms: ...

...the human body, which on average contains 250 grams (8.8 oz) of ATP (roughly the same amount of energy as a single AA battery), turns over its own weight in ATP each day.

________________________

ATP is consumed in the cell by energy-requiring (endothermic) processes and can be generated by energy-releasing (exothermic) processes.

In this way ATP transfers energy between spatially-separate metabolic reactions.

ATP is the main energy source for the majority of cellular functions.

This includes the synthesis of macromolecules, including DNA and RNA (see below), and proteins.

ATP also plays a critical role in the transport of macromolecules across cell membranes, e.g. exocytosis and endocytosis.

ATP is critically involved in maintaining cell structure by facilitating assembly and disassembly of elements of the cytoskeleton.

In a related process, ATP is required for the shortening of actin and myosin filament crossbridges required for muscle contraction.

ATP is an unstable molecule in unbuffered water, in which it hydrolyses to ADP and phosphate. *

A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

It has the property that the pH of the solution changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it.

Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical applications.

Many life forms thrive only in a relatively small pH range;

an example of a buffer solution is blood. **
