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 (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 (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 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 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. 

Customers have questions, you have answers. Display the most frequently asked questions, so everybody benefits. 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. 

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.
