Cellular Jet Fuel
Cellular Jet Fuel™ provides nutrients vital to the production of energy at the cellular level while enhancing oxygen uptake and utilization which is especially beneficial during anaerobic exercise. Exhibits protective actions for the heart and cardiovascular system. Contains potent antioxidants to counteract free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to cells throughout the body. Despite it’s lighthearted name, Cellular Jet Fuel was designed to address several important metabolic demands. Half a million people suffer strokes every year in the United States and kill 150,000. High blood pressure is one of the major risk factors contributing to stroke, but reducing salt intake is only part of the solution. The other part of the equation is potassium, a mineral important for a healthy nervous system and a regular heartbeat. It helps muscles to contract properly and with sodium, controls the body’s water balance. Potassium plays a major role in the body’s cell chemistry. It regulates the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes, is crucial to the chemical reactions within cells, and in transmitting electrochemical impulses. Potassium is also needed for hormone secretion. The secretion of stress hormones causes a decrease in the potassium-to-sodium ratio both inside and outside the cells. Stress increases the body’s potassium requirements as do tobacco and caffeine. The function of potassium has been shown to decrease with age, which may account for some of the circulatory damage, lethargy, and weakness experienced by older people. Diuretics are commonly included in treatment to control high blood pressure among the elderly. When combined with a low-sodium diet, the result can be a deficiency in both sodium and potassium. Potassium glycerophosphate is one of the most absorbable and bioavailable forms of potassium because it easily penetrates cell walls. Magnesium is vital to the enzyme activity involved in energy production. On average, the body contains only 24 grams of magnesium – about one ounce – 99 percent of which is found within the cells of the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. It assists in calcium and potassium uptake and in maintaining the body’s proper pH balance. This essential mineral protects the arterial linings from stress caused by sudden blood pressure changes, and plays a role in the formation of bone and in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism. A deficiency of magnesium interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses. Magnesium is necessary to prevent the calcification of soft tissue. Recent research has shown that magnesium may help prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and certain forms of cancer, and may reduce cholesterol. Coenzyme Q-10 (also known as ubiquinone and vitamin Q) is a fat-soluble nutrient that is made by the body and found in foods such as mackerel, salmon, sardines, beef, peanuts, and spinach. There are ten common substances designated coenzyme Qs, but coenzyme Q10 is the only one found in human tissue. CoQ10 plays a critical role in the production of energy in every cell of the body. It aids circulation, stimulates the immune system, increases tissue oxygenation, and has anti-aging effects. Deficiencies have been linked to periodontal disease, diabetes, and muscular dystrophy. CoQ10 works primarily in the mitochondria which produce the energy that makes it possible for each cell to perform its particular kind of work. Heart muscle cells are dense in mitochondria and heart failure involves the loss of pumping power within the heart. In the early 1970s, Japanese researchers found that the hearts of people who had died of congestive heart failure often had lower levels of CoQ10 than those of people who died of other causes. Within a few years, CoQ10 became part of normal cardiology practice in Japan. Today, 12 million Japanese take CoQ10 at the direction of their doctors for treatment of heart disease, high blood pressure, and to enhance the immune system. Japanese researchers have also reported that CoQ10 protects the stomach lining and duodenum, and may help heal duodenal ulcers. Supplemental CoQ10 has the ability to counter histamine and is therefore beneficial for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory disease. It is used by health care professionals to treat cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, candidiasis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 have not been extensively studied, but the existing research suggests that like vitamin E, it may help prevent oxidation of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. In animal studies antioxidants like CoQ10 protected heart tissue from the damage that can occur as blood fiow is restored after cardiac surgery. Inosine enables efficient oxygen utilization which results in increased strength, energy and stamina. Trimethylglycine (TMG) an extract from sugar beets, detoxifies the powerful pro-oxidant and free-radical generator homocysteine, now recognized as a leading cause of heart and artery disease. Ferulic acid is a potent membrane antioxidant in animals and humans and helps prevent nitrates in the digestive tract from being converted into the carcinogenic nitrosamines.
