Adenosine
Triphosphate is the basic fuel used by all cells in
the body. The force of all muscle contraction is a
result of the chemical conversion of ATP. The body’s
store of ATP is very limited and must be constantly
manufactured to keep up with energy demand. ATP is
manufactured in the body as a result of the Krebs
Cycle. Supplying the body with a pure source of ATP
results in an immediate and sustained boost of energy
that lasts for 20 to 30 minutes without a resulting
"crash" or "let-down". ATP is
added to Athlete Octane™ to supply an immediate
boost, while the other nutrients in the formula aid
in extending endurance and facilitating recovery.
Getting ATP into the body is a difficult task with
oral supplementation because ATP is mostly, if not
completely destroyed in the digestive system. However,
a sublingual (under-the-tongue) form of ATP will bypass
the digestive system.
