MiTOR is one of the newest
additions to the Max Muscle Sports
Nutrition product line. This product was
designed to help support the energy
producing functions that take place in the
cells primary site of energy production:
the mitochondria. While many products
in the sports supplement world promise to
increase energy, they are actually mere
stimulants that provide a temporary boost
via stimulation of the nervous system.
MiTOR, on the other hand, is not a
stimulant that impacts the central nervous
system directly. Instead, it supports the
production of chemical energy (known
as adenosine triphosphate, or ATP) to
provide the essential energy to power
the bodys essential functions inclusive of
muscular contractions.
The mitochondria are organelles
found inside of cells that are responsible
for the conversion of food energy
(calories) into cellular energy (ATP).
Within the human body, there are
approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000
mitochondria whose primary function
is to ensure enough ATP is produced.
The mitochondria utilize oxygen in the
biochemical process known as oxidative
phosphorylation to ensure the body
coverts food energy into the essential
chemical energy (ATP).
MiTOR contains several key ingredients
that help support the vital function of
the mitochondria. Kaneka Q10, which
is the world's hnest type of coenzyme
Q10, is one of MiTORs key ingredients.
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential component
of the electron transport chain process
carried out by the mitochondria for the
production of chemical energy (ATP).
In addition to providing support for
energy production, Kaneka Q10 also
acts a powerful antioxidant to aid the
cardiovascular system. The following list
displays other active ingredients found
in MiTOR as well as their functions in
supporting energy production:
Adenosine, D-Ribose, Phosphate Collectively,
these three compounds make up the
molecule ATP.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) This is a universal
antioxidant that plays an important role
in mitochondrial function and metabolic
gene expression.
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) This is
another powerful antioxidant considered
that when combined with Kaneka
Q10 promotes the creation of new
mitochondria.
Quercetin This is a powerful bioactive
havonoid that has been shown to improve
exercise endurance in mice by increasing
in the number of mitochondria.
Malic Acid This compound is essential for
the production of ATP.
800Ml0K ll8Ml8 I10l8Ml, 8l0089l,
Niacin, Pantothenic Acid) These vitamins
help to maximize the energy production
of the electron transport chain for the
production of ATP.
It is clear to see that the primary
function of MiTOR is to help support
the energy producing capabilities of the
mitochondria. Theoretically, the more
energy that is available to perform
work, the more work you will be able to
perform. Imagine combining the energy
supporting effects of MiTOR with the
increase in protein synthesis effects of
MaxxTOR. The powerful stack of MiTOR
and MaxxTOR can help to ensure that you
are able to train harder in your workouts,
recover more efhciently, and in turn, help
you to build more muscle, burn more
body fat, increase strength and improve
overall metabolism. I just began stacking
MiTOR with MaxxTOR less than a week
ago, but Im eager to see the results of
this powerful combination in the weeks to
come. MS&F
