Optimized Energy for Serious Mitochondrial Needs

ATP Fuel™ - NEWOptimized Energy for Serious Mitochondrial Needs

ATP Fuel™ is designed to support the Krebs Cycle of cellular energy production. The Krebs Cycle takes place inside the mitochondria or “power plant” of the cell and it is the body’s primary energy producer.

ATP Fuel™ offers the top three energy nutrients and cofactors synergistically combined for maximum mitochondrial performance and energy production:

NT Factor Energy™
NADH
CoQ10
ATP Fuel™ starts with the base of our highly acclaimed NT Factor Energy™, and adds the two other well-researched energy producing nutrients, NADH and CoQ10 into one convenient and power-producing formula. Plus ATP Fuel™ is available in capsules.

NT Factor Energy™- to repair mitochondrial membranes NT Factor Energy™ was developed as a phospholipid delivery system to repair mitochondrial membranes that have been compromised due to acute and/or long-term health challenges.

Mitochondrial membranes contain their own DNA. If these membranes are damaged and not able to self-repair, they rely on healthy cells to donate their phospholipids. However, if there is a cascading impact of damaged cells splitting, the end result is a less than optimal energy level.

The product's efficacy is based on our proprietary method of extracting and stabilizing the phospholipids, and delivering them intact in the lower intestine for proper absorption. Phospholipids are very unstable and often oxidize in the manufacturing process or in the digestive tract before they can be presented for absorption in the lower intestine. After we stabilize the phospholipids, we wrap them in probiotics and prebiotics. Next, we add minerals and other nutrients to assist in the Krebs Energy Cycle and absorption. When the capsule reaches the lower intestine, the pre and probiotics are released first to promote a healthy flora. We follow this with the release of the NT Factor portion, whose matrix very closely matches that of the gastro intestinal mucosa. As these phospholipids are transported from cell to cell, they are absorbed into the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes --- allowing the mitochondria to provide its natural and healthy level of energy.

A healthy mitochondrial membrane:

allows more nutrients into the mitochondria to support the Krebs Cycle of energy production

is essential for the electron transport chain to efficiently produce healthy levels of ATP
promotes healthier (reduced) level of oxidative stress

NADH - to convert food into energy

NADH is the reduced (electron- energy rich) coenzyme form of vitamin B3 or B-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. This "reducing" power (its ability to donate electrons) is what drives ATP production.

NADH is fundamental in the chemical process of converting the food we eat into cellular energy. Each unit of NADH creates three units of ATP (the body's energy fuel).

Studies conducted in Europe indicated that NADH promotes healthy energy levels and emotional balance.

NADH is notoriously unstable. As part of the Researched Nutritionals proprietary formula, we stabilize our NADH with chlorophyll, followed by microencapsulation process to resist gastric acids.

Coenzyme Q10 - for ATP energy production
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a compound found naturally in the energy-producing center of the cell known as the mitochondria. CoQ10 is involved in the making of ATP. ATP serves as the cell's major energy source and drives a number of biological processes including muscle contraction and the production of protein. CoQ10 also works as an antioxidant.

CoQ10 promotes healthy energy levels, enhances the immune system, and acts as an antioxidant. A growing body of research suggests that using coenzyme Q10 supplements alone or in combination with other drug therapies and nutritional supplements supports the body’s health in promoting a healthy heart, promoting healthy periodontal (gum) condition, and in supporting cognitive and nerve health.*

Mitochondria - what are they & why are they so important? Mitochondria are the primary energy producers in the body. The typical cell contains an average of 1,000 mitochondria. Given that there are 10 to the 13th power cells in a healthy adult, healthy and productive mitochondria are critical to maintain the body's energy and resilience.

Recent studies have shown the importance to maintaining healthy MTDNA, the DNA which resides inside the mitochondria. Unlike standard DNA which has histones and introns to protect it from free radical damage, the mitochondrial DNA does not have this protective mechanism so it is much more exposed and more susceptible to oxidative damage (ROS or reactive oxidative stress). And since mitochondrial cell division takes place approximately every five to six days and replicates the damage existing in the old cells, the damaged MTDNA spreads rapidly. This is what eventually depletes the patient's energy level and may lead to abnormal cellular formation.

Energy Multi-Plex™ - Adrenal Support Formula

Adrenal Support Formula with 14 researched nutrients

Our product developers were assigned the task of developing the most advanced adrenal support product based on published research. After a thorough review of the literature, they formulated Energy Multi-Plex™ --- the total energy formula. A favorite among doctors and patients, Energy Multi-Plex™ is a reasonably priced answer to many people's dreams of more energy.

“I have improved energy after supplementing with NT Factor Energy and Energy Multi-Plex. Especially notable are the increased maximal sudden power, endurance, and ability to recover during exercise and also for the next day events - for example in distance bicycling on hilly roads and weight lifting and aerobic exercising at the Y.

These two Researched Nutritionals products were added to a thorough treatment program for a longer-term fatigue illness from tick borne infection complex illness in the later, more recent stages of therapy. I think the products address some of what we know about mitochondrial damage in the longer-term fatigue- like syndromes and look forward to discussing this further with others interested in increased energy. I have no conflicts of interest in my dialogues regarding Researched Nutritionals products.” --- H. Smith MD

RibosCardio™ with CardioPerform

RibosCardio™ with CardioPerform
Medical Food with Bioenergy Ribose, L-Carnitine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Malic Acid and Magnesium GET ALL THE GREAT INGREDIENTS OF BIOENERGY CORVALENM PLUS MORE!

Special Dietary Usefulness as a Medical Food
Under a physician’s direction, RibosCardio™ may have special dietary usefulness for individuals suffering from energy-draining conditions, such as heart disease, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Lyme disease. Published research has also shown D-Ribose effective in extending endurance exercise & increasing exercise tolerance, and muscle recovery from high intensity exercise.

RibosCardio™ has been designed to support serious energy needs of patients. The product has been formulated with CardioPerform™, a potent blend of L-carnitine (transports fuel into the heart to be burned as energy) and Acetyl L-carnitine (improves heart & brain health, protecting against oxidative damage), plus the patented form of D-Ribose, malic acid and magnesium gluconate to optimize energy production and synthesis.

Published research shows our patented form of D-ribose may be an effective adjunct in promoting cardiovascular, skeletal muscle, and neurological health. With heart patients, D-ribose has been found effective in restoring energy, improving ventilatory efficiency, oxygen uptake, stroke volume, diastolic function, physical performance, and quality of life. In neuromuscular disease, D-ribose helps to reduce pain, overcome fatigue, increase exercise tolerance, and help patients live more normal, active lives.

RibosCardio™'s magnesium gluconate and malic acid help your body use energy more efficiently. Your cells use magnesium in over 300 enzyme reactions, and it distributes energy evenly throughout the cell so it is available when and where it is needed. Malic Acid helps your mitochondria recycle the energy you have, maximizing cellular energy output.

D-Ribose Research Highlights
Cardiovascular Function: Scientific and clinical studies have repeatedly shown that our patented D-Ribose can restore energy and improve function in ischemic, hypoxic, and failing hearts. Oxygen deprivation causes hearts to use energy faster than it can be replaced through normal processes of tissue energy turnover. The result is a depletion of cellular energy reserves translating to a loss of heart function.

Mid-study results of an ongoing double blind, crossover trial with congestive heart failure patients were recently reported. Results showed conclusively that when patients were given ribose (15 grams per day for three weeks) they had improved diastolic heart function, increased physical function score and enhanced quality of life score. Echocardiographic studies of these patients showed that ribose administration enhanced relaxation of the left ventricle and improved the efficiency of filling from the left atrium. No such improvements were found during placebo administration (3).

RibosCardio™ increases cardiac energy to help fuel the heart. For patients, this can mean more energy and a higher quality of life.

Sports Nutrition:
In skeletal muscle, high-intensity exercise can lead to a loss of up to 26% of cellular adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. One consequence of this energy drain is an increase in free radicals in affected muscle. Free radicals attack cell and mitochondrial membranes and can destroy the genetic material that helps muscle tissues synthesize proteins.

RibosCardio™ helps in three ways:
First, if enough ribose is present in the cell or the circulating blood, energy compounds can be saved, or salvaged, before they wash out of the cell and are lost.

Second, ribose accelerates energy synthesis, so if energy compounds are lost, they can be quickly replaced.

Finally, by keeping the energy compounds in the cell, RibosCardio™ reduces free radical formation and preserves the energy the tissue needs to make proteins essential for maintaining muscle health and performance. This energy improvement has been shown to increased performance over time.
A study published in the journal, Current Therapeutic Research, showed that male recreational bodybuilders experienced a significant improvement in both muscular endurance (20% increase over the four weeks versus a 12% for the placebo group) and muscular endurance (3.2% increase over the four weeks versus a 1.7% for the placebo group) following 28 days of our patented D-Ribose supplementation(1).

Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
The muscle in patients with FMS and CFS is generally severely energy starved. This lack of energy leads to a number of physiological reactions within the muscle cell, ending in debilitating fatigue, muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness. By increasing the energy level in affected muscle, our patented D-Ribose helps patients overcome fatigue, and lessens the pain associated with their conditions.

Jar Size:
421 grams (15 oz) 28 day supply

Directions:
RibosCardio™ may be taken with other foods approved for your diet. Add one level scoop (two and 1/2 teaspoonfuls) to 4-8 ounces of your favorite juice, stir briskly and drink. As an alternative, sprinkle on cereal, fruit or applesauce.

Dosage:
Normal dosage is twice daily. Up to 4 doses per day may be taken as needed. If moderate to severe symptoms are present (as frequently seen in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome) it is recommended that at least three doses per day be taken for the first two weeks before reducing dosage to twice per day. For best results, all doses should be taken no later than 3:00PM. Continued use is required to maintain the benefits of RibosCardio™.

Source:
Ribose is a fermentation process. The initial source is corn syrup. However, as the product is processed, all traces of corn are removed.

Suggested Use:
Take five capsules 30 minutes before breakfast and five capsules before lunch or dinner (ten capsules per day) for the first two months, and five capsules before breakfast in month 3 and beyond. It is important to keep with the protocol for the first two months so that enough cell membranes are repaired --- which will allow the patient to feel the difference. This equates to 2 bottles per month for each of the first two months, and 1 bottle per month thereafter.
