CoQ10 is a vitamin-like compound required for bioenergetics: The flow and transformation of energy in all life forms.

CoQ10 is present in almost every cell in the body. It is most highly concentrated in high-energy organs (brain, heart) and high-energy tissues (muscle).

80% of the body's CoQ10 is found within cells' mitochondria, where its performance-enhancing functions include:

• Sparking cell energy. CoQ10 shuttles electrons and protons across mitochondrial membranes, helping convert energy in foods into ATP cell energy;
• Mitochondria protection. CoQ10 converts into ubiquinol: An antioxidant that protects mitochondria from free radicals' cell-damaging, age-accelerating effects;
• Mitochondria biogenesis. CoQ10 has been shown to stimulate formation of fresh new mitochondria in response to oxidative stress.

Without CoQ10, cell energy cannot be generated or sustained.

Concern: CoQ10 levels are depleted by aging, exercise, environmental stressors and some cholesterol medications.

Performance Lab^® Energy MicroActive^® Q10 is a nutritional technology breakthrough that restores CoQ10 levels for peak bioenergetic performance.

Plain CoQ10 is difficult to absorb. That's why Performance Lab^® Energy uses bioavailability-enhanced MicroActive^® Q10.

Research shows that one dose of MicroActive^® Q10 outperforms plain CoQ10, absorbing faster and releasing slowly over 24 hours for steady, sustained cell energy support:

Daily MicroActive^® Q10 supplementation has also been shown in research to double CoQ10 blood levels in just 3 weeks.

Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) is a unique antioxidant related to B-vitamins. It serves as a cofactor for enzymatic reactions that enable cell health and development.

PQQ is strongly associated with healthy mitochondrial function. It complements CoQ10's mitochondrial support by:

• Stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis. PQQ works in concert with CoQ10, but via a unique bioactivity: Influencing genetic pathways involved in regulating mitochondria;
• Fighting mitochondrial oxidative stress. PQQ is suggested to possess 5,000x the antioxidant power of vitamin C, providing strong mitochondrial protection.

Performance Lab^® Energy PQQ works in concert with CoQ10 to boost, multiply and protect mitochondria powerhouses in nearly every cell in the body.

Performance Lab^® Energy BioPQQ^® is a cutting-edge, water-soluble form of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone. It is the most evidence-backed PQQ form available on the market today.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is an amino acid cofactor required for cell energy.

Approximately 95% of the body's carnitine is located in muscle. ALCAR is crucial for muscle performance. Settling in the outer membrane of mitochondria, ALCAR works by:

• Donating acetyl groups to form Acetyl CoA long-chain fatty acids that fuel mitochondria;
• Transporting long-chain fatty acids across inner cell membranes into mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce ATP energy;
• Returning to outer mitochondrial membranes to be recycled and transport fuel again.

In addition to its energy metabolism benefits, ALCAR promotes mitochondrial health by:

• Transporting waste materials and toxins out of the mitochondria. Toxins have been shown to interfere with cell energy production and efficiency;
• Helping to strengthen and protect mitochondrial membranes, in part by reducing formation of cell-damaging free radicals.

ALCAR is an athletic performance-enhancer: During exercise, it helps preserve energy stored in muscle while encouraging the use of energy stored in fat.

ALCAR's dual-powered support for energized training and fat metabolism combine to optimize all body composition programs, ranging from muscle gain to fat loss.

Performance Lab^® Energy ALCAR is highly bioavailable, absorbed into cells without glucose, and can cross the blood-brain barrier - distinct advantages for weight loss and mental energy.

R-Lipoic Acid is a cofactor found in mitochondria, where it activates enzymes that are essential for bioenergetics processes and carbohydrate metabolism. R-Lipoic Acid helps vitality by:

• Functioning as a precursor for the Acetyl CoA, supporting its formation in a separate pathway from ALCAR;
• Enhancing insulin-stimulated glucose transport and metabolism for efficient cell performance.

R-Lipoic Acid is also a Universal Antioxidant: Soluble in both water and fat, it can help counter oxidative stress in all parts of the body and all parts of our cells. R-Lipoic Acid's extended mitochondria-oriented antioxidant activity includes:

• Enhancing mitochondrial expression of protective antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione, suggested to reverse age-related mitochondrial enzyme decline;
• Directly recycling and extending activity of mitochondria-protective antioxidants including CoQ10 and vitamin C.

Performance Lab^® Energy Bio-Enhanced^® Na-RALA is a purified, stabilized and nature-identical salt form that helps eliminate gastric side effects and maximize bioavailability.

Performance Lab^® Energy ALCAR + ALA Synergy: ALCAR + ALA support mitochondrial synthesis and energy metabolism more effectively together than when taken alone. ALCAR+ALA have also been studied in combination for their ability to protect proteins and mitochondria from free radicals.

Magnesium is needed to catalyze more than 300 reactions in the body, including energy production. Depleted magnesium levels have been shown to contribute to dips in energy. Even if we consume a healthy balanced diet, we may still not meet magnesium demands required to supercharge our performance.

Magnesium can support energy by:

• Stabilising enzymes involved in ATP-generating processes;
• Optimizing the function and structural integrity of mitochondria;
• Regulating glucose and insulin to optimize energy metabolism from food.

Black pepper extract supplies active piperine. As patented BioPerine^®, black pepper piperine works as a thermonutrient that raises metabolic rate and body heat, which in turn:

• Enhances nutrient bioavailability. BioPerine^® helps nutrients in foods and supplements to reach the bloodstream. It has been shown to boost supplemented CoQ10 bioavailability by 30%, further amplifying Energy's MicroActive^® Q10;
• Increases energy expenditure. BioPerine^®'s thermogenic effects help you to burn more calories; an especially beneficial activity for maximizing fitness and fat loss results.
