PEAK ATP



What is ATP?

ATP is an abbreviation for adenosine 5'-triphosphate, commonly known as "the universal energy storage molecule. "ATP exists both inside (intracelluarly) and outside (extracellulary) virtually every cell of the body. The role of intercellular ATP has been well established-it is largely responsible for the energetics, function and survival of cells. When the phosphate bonds of ATP are broken down, the energy released powers all body functions. Extracellular ATP regulates many physiological responses-such as vascular, cardiac and muscle functions.-by interacting with specific ATP receptors on cell surfaces. Interestingly, when intercellular ATP becomes depleted, extracellular ATP can cross into cells via it's catabolic components, adenosine and inorganic phosphate. While ATP is generally manufactured in the body on a continual basis, age, exercise and other stressors can significantly reduce or deplete it's levels. Through an exclusive license agreement with Dr. Eliezer Rapaport, a widely recognized expert in adenosine nucleotides, Technical Sourcing Internationals, Inc. (TSI) is the only company to manufacture patented ATP as a novel nutraceutical ingredient.




                                          What does PEAK ATP do?


TSI's patented PEAK ATP elevates the body's extRacellular ATP levels. Scientific evidence has demonstrated that extracellular ATP is a major regulator of vascular, cardiac and muscle functions. By activating specific ATP receptors present on vascular endothelial cells (the cells that line the blood vessel walls) These actions stimulate blood flow to peripheral areas without affecting blood pressure or heart rate. Not only exogenous ATP cardioprotective, but it also enhances the delivery of glucose, nutrients and oxygen to working and recovering muscles. Additionally, it helps remove catabolic waste products. These mechanisms improve physical performance, benefit muscle growth, strength and recovery, and increase overall energy levels. What's more, increases in extracellular ATP have also been demonstrated to enhance cerebral blood flow and metabolism-boosting mental acuity and potentially lessening the perception of fatigue and/ or exercise-associated with pain.




I'll be running PEAK ATP at 125mg to 250mg pre-workout. Studies have been performed on athletes weighing 190lbs and under at 125mg. TSI claims that cardiovascular, circulatory and vascular system benefits are realized almost immediately upon taking the ingredient. Logging statistically significant performance results, however, requires chronic dosing for at least two weeks. I'll update this at my two week mark.


A full review will follow!
