Potassium/Magnesium Aspartate – A compound comprised of potassium and magnesium chelated (“bonded”) to the amino acid aspartic acid.
OKG (Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate) – A combination of the amino acid L-ornithine and the compound alpha-ketoglutarate.
Beet Juice Powder – Provides color to the ingredients inside the capsules to easily differentiate them from similar-looking products such as Endurolytes.
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – A high-energy molecule found in every cell, often referred to as “the energy currency of life,” ATP is formed from a long chain of metabolic events in which a variety of substrates are transferred from the foods you eat. Energy Surge contains preformed, ready-to-use ATP.
Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate - A source of magnesium that is bonded to ATP in order for ATP to be biologically active. Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate also helps to balance the pH of the product to keep it more-neutral state of 7.0
Fructose – To help buffer the bitter-to-acidic taste of pure ATP, a trace amount of fructose is used. Each tablet contains approximately 170 mg (0.17 gm, or 17% of one gram), a minuscule amount.
Mannitol – Like xylitol, this sweetener is classified as a polyol, and found in the fruit, leaves and other parts of many plants, including celery, mushrooms, onions, pumpkins, and strawberries. As is the case with fructose, mannitol helps buffer the bitter-to-acidic taste of pure ATP.
Cellulose Gum – Made from plant fibers, cellulose gum binds the ingredients together in the tablet. It also protects the stability of ATP, preventing it from reacting prior to consumption.
Magnesium Stearate – Used in trace amounts as a “flow agent” to prevent the raw materials from sticking to the mechanical equipment, and to ensure a uniform consistency with the tablets.
Sodium (Tribasic) Phosphate – This compound enhances the functioning of all three of the body’s ATP-producing energy systems: the short-term ATP-CP system, the medium-term lactic acid system, and the long-term oxygen/aerobic system.
A primary benefit of sodium (tribasic) phosphate is its ability to buffer blood acidity and help maintain a more ideal acid-alkaline balance by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions within the muscle cell. Effectively buffering lactic acid extends energy production within this system. This nutrient also increases 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). This compound, found in red blood cells, helps release oxygen from hemoglobin into the muscle cells. An increase in 2,3-DPG will improve the availability of oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
Malic Acid – A natural substance found in apples and other fruits. Malic acid helps balance the extreme alkalinity of Race Day Boost, thus minimizing-to-eliminating the potential for stomach distress. As an essential component of the Krebs cycle, malic acid also helps boost energy levels and is beneficial for liver health.
