Life Spark™, the metabolic energizer, provides nutrients that may be
needed during demanding physical training and performance, as well as in
daily living.
Every second of our lives, billions
of biochemical reactions are taking place in our bodies. New molecules are
produced and spent as old ones are broken down and disposed of. Our
metabolism is a massive, complex, yet perfectly orchestrated system of
energy that enables us to survive and thrive. In almost every chemical
reaction in the body, a spark is needed to energize the reaction. This spark
is provided by adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), the energy molecule. It is
fundamental to our physiology.
Amazingly, the body must produce
half its own weight in ATP every day. It is a wise life strategy to give ATP
production all the help we can. If this system is not working well we may
feel tired and fatigued and our health may be affected.
Within each cell there are typically
1,000-2,000 mitochondria. This organelle is the site of three connected,
complex, multi-stage biochemical processes - the Glycolytic cycle, the Krebs
cycle, and the Electron Transport chain - these produce ATP.
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are
digested and enter the energy cycle to manufacture ATP. This requires a huge
reserve of nutrients including B-vitamins, alpha-lipoic acid, CoQ10, and
Acetyl L-Carnitine.
