Our Magnificent 7 product has 4 natural substances that increase AMPK and 3 that increase mitochondrial biogenesis.
Berberine, a natural plant alkaloid, has many health benefits and has been used in Indian and Chinese Medicine for more than 2,500 years.
Quercetin is the most abundant flavonoid. It is found in many plant-based foods and is concentrated in the peel. Like Berberine it increases AMPK and reverses insulin resistance.
a. lowers blood sugar
b. lowers inflammation
c. lowers blood pressure
d. powerful antioxidant
e. lowers the risk of cancer
f. reduces fatty liver disease
g. lowers the risk of degenerative brain disease
h. acts as a senolytic and slows aging
i. helps lower the risk of Covid-19
Gynostemma Pentaphyllum is from the cucumber or gourd family and is widely used in Asia. Extracts of saponins from this plant increase AMPK and a wide range of health benefits.
a. lowers blood sugar
b. anti-obesity effect and lowers visceral fat and fatty liver
c. lowers BMI and weight-lowers ht/waist ratio
d. lowers triglycerides and cholesterol
e. lowers anxiety
f. improves microbiome
g. neuroprotective function
h. increases longevity (upregulates sirtuins)
Epicatechin is a flavonoid from chocolate. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found "ingesting 100 grams of dark chocolate resulted in a decrease in blood pressure and improved insulin sensitivity in healthy people.” Epicatechin also works by increasing AMPK.
a. lowers blood sugar
b. stimulates fat burning
c. decreases appetite
d. lowers inflammation
e. lowers blood pressure
f. increases blood flow by increasing NO
g. inhibits angiogenesis and fat gain
h. protects against cancer
i. improves bone density
j. helps muscle growth
k. improves athletic endurance
l. reduces aging of the skin
m. helps build immunity
n. helps neurodegenerative disease
o. also increases mitochondrial biogenesis
p. increases longevity
Mitochondrial Biogenesis
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can lower uric acid and blocks mitochondrial oxidative stress and tames the 'fat switch’. Vitamin C can block the effects of fructose to cause metabolic syndrome.
a. lowers blood sugar throughout the day (and minimizes spikes in sugar)
b. lowers blood pressure
c. good antioxidant and is vital for the body's healing process
d. supports the synthesis of proteins for blood vessels
e. helps absorb and store iron
f. stimulated white blood cells and helps immunity
g. lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease
h. may have a role in the common cold and cancer prevention.
i. helps lower the risk of Covid-19
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant found in many foods. It is important for mitochondrial health-acts as a heavy metal chelator and is an important cofactor for mitochondrial enzymes like AMPK. It is both fat and water-soluble.
a. lowers blood sugar and improves insulin resistance
b. powerful antioxidant and recycles CoQ10, Glutathione, Vit C, and E
c. Towers NF-kappa B and inflammation
d. increases mitochondrial biogenesis
e. helps detoxify the liver
f. ALA inhibits AMPK in the hypothalamus and decreases appetite
g. lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease
h. slows brain aging and wrinkling and improves immunity
i. helps decrease neuropathy caused by diabetes
Resveratrol is a natural product found in grapes, mulberries, wine, and peanuts. Induces mitochondrial biogenesis in endothelial cells throughout the body.a. enhances insulin sensitivity (can be seen from a single glass of wine)b. improves mitochondrial biogenesis. enhances effects of metformind. lowers blood pressure. lowers body weightf. improves neurodegeneration in the braing. cardiovascular protection (French Paradox)h. promotes longevity by activating on sirtuins 1-7.
