Recent Studies Show Benefits of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Supplementation.
70ATP is a substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes. As we age, intracellular levels of ATP drop significantly.
Several published pre-clinical and human clinical trials have shown that extracellular ATP and its major degradation product, adenosine, activate specific ATP and adenosine receptors on the cells that line the blood vessel walls. This improves blood vessel tone and the widening of blood vessels resulting from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls thus increasing the flow of blood to the heart, brain and peripheral areas, especially to skeletal muscles. This also increases the delivery of glucose, nutrients and oxygen to working and recovering muscles and the removal of catabolic waste products. The end result of these actions is increased energy and vitality as well as improved athletic performance and recovery.
Dr. Eliezer Rapaport, one of the foremost world authorities on ATP, has been studying ATP and its effects for decades. As a result, Dr. Rapaport has been issued several unique ATP patents. TSI Health Sciences of Missoula, Montana has acquired exclusive license to several of Dr. Rapaport's patents and have produced the first ATP formulation that is effective in an orally delivered form. This product is called PEAK ATP®.
A randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled trial, performed at the Cooper Institute Centers for Integrated Health Research, studied the effects of PEAK ATP® on 27 healthy male athletes aged 18-45. Men who took a high dose (225 mg) of the supplement daily for two weeks were able to do 18.5% more reps than before they started the treatment and total lifting volume increased by 1,552 pounds-a 28.2% gain. 1
ATP is also being studied in patients with advanced solid tumors to see if it can decrease weight loss and improve muscle strength. Preliminary data suggests that ATP may actually help terminal cancer patients "get bigger and stronger." The investigators observed that ATP seems to favorably impact lung cancer patients who have failed chemo-and/or radiation therapy by allowing them to regain their appetite and to maintain their body composition. 2
PEAK ATP® has been shown safe and non-toxic. PEAK ATP® is not a stimulant however, it does boost energy without effecting heart rate or blood pressure. PEAK ATP® increases cellular energy and blood flow, benefiting overall health as well as circulatory and mental health.
