ATP Charge 120 tabs

Adenosine Tri-phosphate (or simply ATP) is the energy-rich chemical compound that provides virtually all the energy needed by your body. ATP is the chemical produced at the mitochondrial cell level that powers our every thought, movement and action- it is literally the energy of life. ATP supplements can increase physical energy levels, and improve muscle strength and endurance. The sublingual delivery system allows for faster uptake into the bloodstream, resulting in better absorption and increased effectiveness.

The energy released from the breakdown of ATP is used to power all body functions. We need ATP to make our hearts beat, to give our muscles power when we demand it, and to maintain our everyday lives. Without adequate ATP stores, we could not walk, run, breathe, or even have blood flow through our bodies. So, ATP is considered the "energy currency" of the cell. It is, in fact, the molecule that gives us life. Our bodies must be continuously supplied with energy to perform its many complex functions. As the body's energy demands increase with exercise, there must be a way to provide this additional energy so that we can continue functioning at our optimum levels.

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the basic fuel used by all cells in the body. The force of all muscle contraction is a result of the chemical conversion of ATP. ATP stores virtually all of the energy needed by the body. During the normal process of metabolism, ATP is hydrolyzed—broken down with water and oxygen. The process of break down causes a burst of energy, giving ATP its "energy currency" status because it releases vital energy within cells countless times throughout the day. This energy keeps the heart beating and oxygen flowing and empowers muscle cells to meet daily demands. The body’s store of ATP is very limited and must be constantly manufactured to keep up with energy demand. ATP is the primary source for muscle contractions. Whenever we use our muscles, ATP is broken down into two simpler chemicals (adenosine diphosphate - ADP and inorganic phosphate). This process of ATP turning into ADP releases the energy which gives our muscles power. The problem is that our muscles only contain enough ATP to last about 10-15 seconds at maximum exertion. Muscle contractions place a demand on ATP resulting in insufficient amounts necessary for protein synthesis.

Creatine Phosphate or Phosphocreatine (the major phosporylated compound in muscle tissue) is the back up source for ATP. Phosphocreatine declines rapidly in the muscle tissue during physical activity, which can also diminish the amounts of ATP, causing extreme fatigue. Increased ATP along with creatine may enable more muscle contractions resulting in longer and more vigorous workouts. This can enhance sports activity and performance. Ultimate Nutrition understands that getting ATP into the body can be a difficult task with oral supplementation because ATP is mostly, if not completely destroyed in the digestive system. That’s why we offer sublingual (under-the-tongue) ATP Charge, which will bypass the digestive system.
