Mitochondrial Support
ATP Cofactors™ is a specially formulated high potency vitamins B-2/B-3 combination, containing 100 mg of Riboflavin and 500 mg of Niacin (as inositol hexanicotinate) per tablet. ATP Cofactors™ is intended to be used as part of a complete nutritional program, emphasizing magnesium instead of calcium.
Key Benefits and Features:
| Serving Size: 1 Tablet | Amount/Serving |
| Riboflavin | 100 mg |
| Niacin (as Inositol Hexanicotinate) | 500 mg NE |
Other Ingredients: Micosolle®Blend (potassium hydroxide, silicon dioxide, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, polysorbate 80, citric acid), microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and pharmaceutical glaze.
One to three tablets daily, or as recommended by a healthcare provider. When used in conjunction with Iodoral® 50 mg tablets, the recommended amount is one tablet of ATP Cofactor for each 50 mg tablet of Iodoral®.
Warning: If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition, or are taking any medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of the reach of children. Use only if the safety seal is intact.
The urine may turn dark yellow due to the excretion of riboflavin and may stain undergarments in subjects with urinary incontinence. The flushing associated with niacin does not occur because the formula uses a non-flushing form of niacin.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from light.
The unit of energy available from food is called calories. The metabolism of the macronutrients carbohydrates, fats, and proteins supplies these calories. However, the body can not use these calories as a source of energy to perform life-sustaining functions unless these calories are converted to a substance called ATP, which is the energy currency used by the body. About one-half of the calories obtained from food are used to maintain body temperature and body water in a state essential for normal enzymatic activities and cell membrane fluidity. Therefore, 50% of the calories ingested are converted to ATP, and the other half is used to pay a form of taxation in order to keep body temperature in the ideal range.
In order to convert food to ATP and use ATP as a source of energy, several micronutrients are required: vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. There is a close interaction and synergism between these micronutrients. For example, the B-complex vitamins, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and pyridoxine cannot function well without being activated by phosphorylation. This phosphorylation is magnesium-dependent. Therefore, adequate magnesium is required to optimize the performance of the B-complex vitamins.
The synthesis of ATP by intact respiring mitochondria requires the presence of oxygen, magnesium, ADP, inorganic phosphate, and the substrates from the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. The generation of these substrates depends on the presence of an adequate amount of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. When all substances are present at optimal concentrations, the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane and the capacity of the enzymatic system in the respiratory chain become rate-limiting.
