WHAT IS IT?

Peak ATP™ with GlycoCarn™ contains in 2 enteric coated capsules Glycine Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) 1000 mg and Peak ATP™ Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate Disodium. Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose, rice powder, silica and magnesium stearate. Enteric coating consists of methacrylic acid copolymer, myvacet, triacetin and polysorbate 80.
 

WHAT DOES IT DO?

According to the manufacturer:

"The endothelium is the thin barrier that separates circulating blood from the smooth muscle interior of the artery. Healthy endothelial cells help to maintain a normal cardiovascular system. Aging, poor lifestyle habits and nutrition can lead to endothelial problems which can lead to fatigue, atherosclerosis, blood pressure problems and other vascular disorders.

Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) plays an important role in protecting the function and health of endothelial cells. PLC passes across the mitochondrial membrane to supply carnitine directly to the energy-producing organelles of all cells. Carnitine is essential for mitochondrial fatty acid transport and energy production. This is important because endothelial cells burn fatty acids for 70 percent of their energy.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a critical component of the cellular energy cycle. When administered orally to rabbits, ATP increased blood flow, reduced vascular resistance, and increased arterial oxygen pressure. In baboons, ATP infusions increased cerebral blood flow by nearly 50 percent and boosted oxygen consumption in the brain.

Peak ATP™ is a patented brand of ATP that has been tested in human and animal studies. Peak ATP™ is readily absorbed and boosts circulating ATP levels. Red blood cells release ATP to produce endothelial vasodilation, or widening of the arteries. Ensuring adequate red blood cell pools of ATP to help regulate vascular tone is critical to maintaining circulatory health.

For the first time, Americans have access to proprionyl-L-carnitine and Peak ATP™, two nutrients that are critical for optimal endothelial function and structural integrity."
