ATP and the Heart
ATP is one of the most important molecules to human existence. Commonly known as the body's "energy currency," ATP stores energy in its molecular bonds. When those bonds are broken, the energy is released and used to carry out the myriad processes our cells perform every day. The human heart uses more energy per gram than any other organ in the body. In just 24 hours, it beats 100,000 times, pumps 2,000 gallons of blood, and circulates the entire blood supply through the body 4,320 times. Because of its tremendous energy needs, the heart is utterly dependent on ATP to function.
ATP Declines with Age
ATP exists inside (intracellularly) and outside (extracellularly) virtually every cell of the body. Unfortunately, ATP stores decline with stress and age. In fact, a study which measured ATP levels in human red blood cells found that people in their 70s had 50% less ATP than people in their 20s.1 A decline of ATP in the body is associated with a loss in wellness and vitality, reduced nutrient absorption, slower cellular and tissue regeneration, less efficient organ function, memory loss, lean muscle loss and reduced circulation to the peripheries.
Solgar PEAK ATP® 150 mg Tablets
Backed by eight different patents, PEAK ATP® is the first supplement ingredient shown to elevate the body's levels of extracellular ATP. Using the most effective dosage and the most efficient delivery system, Solgar is pleased to introduce to PEAK ATP® 150 mg Tablets. ATP must be taken in sufficient quantity to produce a noticeable effect. Solgar's 150 mg dosage is based on recent clinical work which indicates that the greatest efficacy of PEAK ATP® is achieved when at least 125 mg of the substance is taken twice a day.
Tablet Facts:
- A convenient dosage (2 tablets daily)
- Sugar and starch free
- Free of corn, yeast, wheat, soy,
- and dairy products
- Formulated without the use of artificial
- preservatives, flavors, or colors
- ATP relaxes the blood vessels
By activating specific ATP receptors on the cells that line the blood vessel walls, ATP causes the vessels to relax. This reduces the amount of resistance that has to be overcome in order to push blood through the circulatory system. That means that more blood flows through the vessels and the heart doesn't have to pump as hard. - ATP stimulates blood flow
Animal and human studies have found that ATP stimulates blood flow. In one small trial, ATP administration in healthy people completely countered the effects of tyramine, a potent vasoconstrictor. Additionally, participants at rest who received an infusion of ATP experienced almost the same increase in blood flow (78%) as those who performed maximal bicycling exercise. - ATP enhances delivery of oxygen and nutrients
Because ATP relaxes the blood vessels, which stimulates blood flow, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the heart and extremities. A recent human trial illustrated this. Adult men and women who took single doses of PEAK ATP® experienced significant increases in upper extremity oximetry (the amount of oxygen in the blood) compared to baseline after just one dose.
Patented
Years in development, PEAK ATP® is backed by an exclusive licensed suite of eight patents developed by world-renowned adenosine nucleotide researcher Dr. Eliezer Rapaport for oral ATP administration. That's important, because not only are imitators infringing on a patent, they may be manufacturing ATP improperly.
Enteric-Coated
ATP is a fragile compound that can be degraded by the low pH of stomach acids. In order to protect the active ingredient, Solgar uses a process called enteric coating. This manufacturing process surrounds the tablet with a protective coating that will only dissolve at a higher pH. That way, it passes through the highly acidic stomach in tact and is emptied into the more alkaline small intestine, where it is rapidly absorbed.
Safe
In all of the pilot studies and human trials performed on PEAK ATP®, no adverse effects have been observed at all. PEAK ATP® has also been the subject of a rigorous toxicity study, which found the ingredient produced no toxicity, mortality or adverse reactions, even at 6,800 times the normal dose. Global research confirms that the active compound in PEAK ATP® is safe and non-toxic.
