INCREASE YOUR ENERGY AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL
All energy for life is produced in tiny cellular structures called mitochondria in
which food molecules and oxygen are combined to produce chemical energy in the
form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). As we age, the number of mitochondria
per cell and their output efficiency can decline, resulting in decreased vitality
and energy. Compromised mitochondria can also release more toxic exhaust
in the form of free-radical molecules, which can further damage mitochondria,
DNA, and other critical cell structures. Less efficient production of energy in
cells can result in a decrease of physical performance and mental energy.
Increasing our dietary consumption of foods rich in antioxidants, particularly
polyphenols, can help protect mitochondria and other cell structures from
free-radical byproducts of energy production in cells. Additionally, supplementing
our diets with nutritional co-factors of energy production in mitochondria can
support healthy production of cellular energy.
The doTERRA Lifelong Vitality Program includes potent levels
of these antioxidant and energy cofactors:
®
• Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Helps shuttle fatty acids into mitochondria for energy
production
• Alpha Lipoic Acid: Supports the
production of ATP and acts as a powerful
antioxidant in mitochondria
• Coenzyme Q10: Important coenzyme for
energy production; supports heart health
• Quercetin: Provides powerful polyphenol
antioxidant protection in mitochondria and
other cell structures
• Resveratrol: Polyphenol found in red
wine; supports healthy mitochonodrial
biogenesis
• Vitamins and Minerals: Essential
cofactors of energy production in cells
• Essential Fatty Acids: Required for cell
growth; supports healthy cellular function
MITOCHONDRIA: Sometimes described as micro power plants in cells, mitochondria
produce the energy chemical adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that powers all cellular activity
for life. Cellular mitochondria also play critical roles in other cell functions, including
intracellular signaling, cellular differentiation, growth, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial energy
functions can decrease with age or increased exposure to oxidative stressors.
