Sports Performance
and Muscle
Staying active at all ages is key to lifelong health. Physical activity maintains our muscle health.
Muscle is not just a mechanical component of our body – it is a metabolically active tissue. Lack of physical activity accelerates muscle loss and reduces muscle function impacting the way our metabolism works.
Taking care of muscle by regular movement and physical exercise has immense benefits for lifelong health. It’s much more than how we look in the mirror.
Muscles require significant energy for daily activities and stores glucose from food for use when needed.
Muscle cells contain numerous mitochondria which produce ATP as fuel for our body. As we age, we experience a decline in energy. The decline in energy is linked to a decline in muscle mass, and a decline in the number of mitochondria.
Insulin is a hormone that enables muscle cells to use glucose for energy and promotes muscle protein synthesis, maintaining mass and strength. It shuts off the breakdown of protein in muscle and switches on the synthesis of new muscle protein.
For insulin to work properly, it needs energy from the mitochondria.
Mitocholine has developed a synergistic nutritional solution to target energy production in the mitochondria and support the muscle. Targeting energy production inside the muscle cell to help you do the activities that you love - for as long as possible.
