The body’s cells and organ systems rely on a consistent supply of energy to function optimally. The mitochondria, known as the powerhouses of the cell, contain nutrients and enzymes crucial for cellular energy metabolism, including those that convert food into usable energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the primary energy source for all cells. To enhance mitochondrial output, there must be an adequate fuel supply for combustion and plentiful antioxidants to neutralize free radical by-products. Maintaining our energy reserves and boosting energy output is essential for optimal health.

Factors such as lack of sleep, excessive stress, poor nutrition, and prescription medications can deplete energy reserves faster than they can be replenished, leading to an energy deficit that must be addressed.

Complete Mito is scientifically formulated, based on published research, to boost mitochondrial reserves and jump-start cellular energy production. This supplement includes a potent antioxidant trio of alpha lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, and acetyl L-carnitine, all proven to enhance cellular energy production and replenish primary cellular antioxidant pools of vitamins E, C, and glutathione. Complete Mito also incorporates key micronutrients and phytonutrients, including green tea, broccoli seed extract, and resveratrol, to protect the mitochondria and sustain the cycle of energy production.

Take 2-4 capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

Acetyl L-Carnitine

Acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) is an amino acid that is associated with increased energy production. It has been shown to increase the flow of free fatty acids, the fuel source for mitochondria,resulting in a significant boost in energy production. As we age, free radical production increases oxidative damage to the mitochondria, which can potentially decrease energy production. ALC has been shown to increase cellular energy (ATP) production and has been found, in combination with lipoic acid, to lower oxidative stress. Studies have also shown that ALC supports the immune response by protecting CD4 and CD8 immune cells and by supporting the reproduction of lymphocytes for the identification and elimination of invading antigens.

N-Acetyl Cysteine

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and promotes liver detoxification. NAC has been shown to increase production of glutathione, an important antioxidant found in the body. In addition to its antioxidant activity, glutathione boosts the immune system by activating T-cells, helping to maintain immune balance.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant and also plays a synergistic role in recharging other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10 and glutathione. Lipoic acid also plays a key role in detoxification. Studies have shown that a combination of ALA and acetyl L-carnitine helps minimize oxidative damage. Oxidative stress causes damage to DNA, RNA, proteins, mitochondrial membranes, and lipids and contributes to the functional decline of mitochondria, cells,tissues, and eventually organs such as the brain.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a polyphenol molecule found in many plant species including grapes and cranberries and is found in high concentrations in wine. Polyphenols act as antioxidants that protect plants from damage that can be caused by bacteria, fungi, and radiation. Resveratrol is believed to be the dietary factor behind the “French Paradox” which is the high rate of cardiovascular wellness in the French population, despite their high fat intake. In addition to its antioxidant properties and support for cardiovascular function, resveratrol has been shown to support optimal immune function.

Broccoli Seed Extract

Broccoli seed extract contains a high amount of glucoraphanin, a compound that is a precursorto sulphoraphane. Sulphoraphane is a potent antioxidant in the body and also supports detoxification and immune response. Sulphoraphane has been shown to induce Phase II detoxification enzymes and raise intracellular glutathione levels.

Green Tea (EGCG)

Green tea polyphenols have demonstrated significant antioxidant, probiotic and immune supporting properties. The hydroxyl group of green tea polyphenols supports antioxidant activity by forming complexes with free radicals and neutralizing them, minimizing oxidative damage throughout the body. Green tea polyphenols also stimulate the activity of liver detoxification enzymes, promoting the detoxification of harmful chemicals out of the body.

Micronutrients

To increase cellular energy production efficiently, optimal levels of critical nutrients and enzyme cofactors must be achieved. MitoCORE® is a multivitamin with an optimized backbone of vitamins and minerals necessary for increasing energy output and meeting daily nutritional needs.
