Mitochondrial Super Food: R-ALA, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Biotin, Nicotinamide (B3), Riboflavin (B2), Pyridoxine (B6), Creatine, CoQ10, Resveratrol & Taurine Optimize Mitochondrial Function.
From China, the biggest (and cheapest) producer of raw materials for dietary supplements comes a study ( Sun. 2011 ) on the effectiveness of a mitochondrial nutrient combination on performance and mitochondrial biogenesis in exhaustively exercised rats, which may well have consequences on the number of items on your next supplement shopping list. For 4 weeks , Sun et al. supplemented exhaustively exercising rats with a combination of R-a-lipoic acid, acetyl-L-carnitine, biotin, nicotinamide, riboflavin, pyridoxine, creatine, CoQ10, resveratrol and taurine (cf. table 1) Table 1: Ingredients of the "mitochondrial nutrient supplement";dosage used in rat study (data adapted from Sun. 2011 ); and calculated human equivalent doses This nutrient combination had beneficial effects on standard markers of exercise induced oxidative stress and muscular breakdown . Specifically, it "significantly inhibited the increase in activities ...
