Inosine,
an amino acid metabolite, has a unique ability to increase ATP production. It is so
closely related to ATP structurally that no oxygen is required for this conversion and is
the quickest pathway for the cell to get its ATP. It works best when taken on an empty
stomach with an electrolyte mixture, such as Alacer's Emergen-C and with Coenzyme-Q10
before exercise. This enhances oxygen transport throughout the system, improving workload
efficiency, and prevents any increase in uric acid synthesis.
Inositol
is a sugar which is metabolized slowly and without the involvement of insulin. It is
involved in the transportation and metabolism of fatty acids and cholesterol, and is
necessary for the formation of lecithin and several enzymes. It is found in cell membranes
throughout the brain and central nervous system, the muscles, heart tissues, reproductive
organs, and bones, and is vital for hair growth. Signs of deficiency include constipation,
eczema, hair loss, and high blood cholesterol. There is no RDA, but the average diet
yields 1000 mg per day. There is no known toxicity. |
