Mitotrol

Good nutrition is the foundation of your body’s health.

Even if you follow a healthy diet, nutritional experts say the quality of meats, fruits and vegetables has gone down dramatically because of processing, chemicals and toxins.

Our cells are responsible for everything our bodies do. Having cells that function optimally is like having an internal fountain of youth! It is for this reason that everyday more and more healthcare professionals are recommending Mitotrol, the revolutionary dietary supplement containing the nutrients your cells need.

Nowadays, our lifestyles leave little time to plan meals, and we usually fill our diets with empty calories that come from low-quality fast foods.

Prepared and packaged foods make life easy, but they don’t provide all the nutrients your body needs.

Without gasoline, a car cannot run. Without energy, humans will begin feeling sick and weak. The human body needs the right fuel to properly feed the cells. This is where Mitotrol comes in.

An all-natural food, Mitotrol is immediately recognized and utilized by the body for its cellular energy, which aids the body to function at its best. Since Mitotrol is easily absorbed by the cells, the added saccharides and peptides enhance energy production, making the cells function effectively.

A fully-functioning cell promotes rapid repair and regeneration, helping organs function properly, making you feel healthy and full of energy.

The food you need

Mitotrol’s exclusive formula is a unique combination of ingredients that nourishes the mitochondria—the powerhouse of the cells—improving how the cells of your body and mind work.

First, we take a special blend of wholegrain rice cultivated in Thailand, one of the World’s most fertile and pristine regions, free of contaminants. Due to the purity of the land, this special rice contains a high concentration of nutrients, making it especially unique.

Next, this nutrient-packed wholegrain rice is combined with Spirulina, a potent blue-green algae loaded with antioxidants. This powerful team provides vital elements to the cells, allowing them to produce their own energy and synthesize new proteins.

More than just rice

Rice has a long history of cultivation, and its origins date back to various ancient cultures in China, India and Southeast Asia.

In 2008 the FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) recognized that wholegrain rice is beneficial in fighting heart disease and some types of cancer, and that it is esteemed as one of the healthiest foods due to the great benefits it provides.

The nutritional spectrum of wholegrain rice provides the body with valuable minerals, such as magnesium, which plays an important role in muscular contraction and relaxation, helping to improve cardiovascular health.

Furthermore, it activates enzymes and helps the bones, joints, teeth, and cartilage stay strong. It also provides phosphorus, and calcium, which are both essential to the production of energy and the strengthening of the cells.

Rice also contains iron, which is necessary in hemoglobin production (the substance contained in the red blood cells, which transports oxygen to the blood) and myoglobin (which, transports oxygen to the muscles.)

Many of rice´s nutrients are found in the outer husk, and this non-refined part is easy for the body to absorb. The more refined or processed the rice is, the less vitamins and minerals it contains.

Mitotrol is produced using specially-selected non-refined rice grains, which undergo a proprietary bio-technical hydrolysis process. The precise science involved allows the polysaccharide peptides to have 90 percent or more absorption at the cellular level without damaging the Polypeptide protein fraction of the molecules, allowing the proteins to be more easily absorbed directly into the cells.

In order to stay strong and healthy, cells need ATP, which is fuel for the powerhouse of the cells, the mitochondria. Today’s processed, microwaved and pre-packaged meals include between 2 and 23 ATP molecules, which is not nearly enough to allow cells to self-protect, self-repair, renovate and self-heal.

Thanks to its proprietary scientific process, the molecules in Mitotrol are small enough to enter the cells, delivering more ATP molecules to the mitochondria! This means more energy and strength for each and every cell, allowing it to complete its natural cycle, and, better overall health and vitality to you.

The Science behind the ingredients

Mitotrol contains three elements that give it nutritional power: polysaccharides, peptides, and spirulina blue-green algae. In order to understand the power and efficacy of Mitotrol, it is essential to understand the properties of each of its components.

These are large chains of sugars (glucose) joined together, serving as a sort of storage room for the cells. The most common polysaccharides are starch (found in plants) and glycogen, stored in the livers of animals.

Each and every one of our cells are required to produce their own energy using different elements, such as sugars, fat, or proteins. Sugars are our principal source of energy used in the short-term. In fact, around 50% of the energy our bodies use comes from sugars.

If the ingested sugars are simple, such as the ones in sweeteners, it’s better for the body if they are ingested through cereals and legumes because their absorption is slower, and provides fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Peptides are small chains of amino acids. Amino acids are units that are composed of proteins, elements vital to the functioning of our bodies, which represent approximately half of the dry weight of a cell. They are the proteins in charge of carrying out functions as diverse as catalysis, intercellular recognition, and also the duplication and replication of genetic material.

The proteins that carry out functions inside our bodies are held together by our cells using the information contained within our DNA. They create different amino acid sequences, amino acids being the essential units that compose proteins. The sequence of these amino acids determines characteristics such as shape, function and interaction with other proteins.

There are 20 different kinds of amino acids that make up our proteins, and that are found within all living things, be they animals, proteins, bacteria, etc. All except for nine of these amino acids can be produced by our bodies. These are known as essential amino acids, which should be included in our diets. The proteins in our bodies are constantly being renewed, and many of the amino acids that make them up are recycled. Nevertheless, recycling is 100% effective, but requires that a certain amount of proteins be consumed so that our required amino acid levels are met. In some cases, such as during a growth spurt, more proteins may be required.

The proteins we consume in our diets are used for one of two things:

1.Providing the components necessary for the synthesis of new proteins, covering our amino acid requirements.
2.The generation of energy. Approximately 15% of the energy used by our body comes from proteins.

Creation of new proteins means more energy and cellular health, which in turn means a better quality of life.

Is a blue-green algae that’s part of the common, traditional diet in certain areas of Mexico and countries in Africa. It is among the oldes forms of life on the planet, in alkaline volcano lakes for around 3,500 million years.

Spirulina contains a significant amount of various proteins, which are easily absorbed by the body. These include:

1.Essential amino acids (those our body cannot produce on its own)
2.Vitamins
3.Minerals
4.Beta-carotene
5.Polysaccharides
6.Glucolipids and essential fatty acids

Scientific studies report that:

1.Spirulina extract has the ability to increase the activity of the immune system and has anti-viral and cancerogenic properties.
2.Consuming spirulina has been linked to decreases in the levels of cholesterol.
3.The human consumption of spirulina significantly reduces the concentrations of triacylglycerol and colesterol in the bloodstream, and also reduces bloodpressure.
4.Taking spirulina reduces the levels of glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood of patients with type 2 diabetes (Parikh et al, 2001.)
5.Spirulina can make the immune system stronger. A Japanese research team administered spirulina extract to a group of humans over the course of two months. They measured various parameters of immune system activity before and after the spirulina was administered. They found that, in 50% of the volunteers, the isolated NK blood cells (a type of cellular immune system that eliminates cells infected by viruses, and others with tumors) were showing more activity.
6.Including spirulina in a chicken´s daily diet increased the production capacity of antibodies, and of NK cell activity.
7.Some compounds found in spirulina have antiviral abilities. For example, the in vitro application of Spirulina maxima blocked the infection caused by viruses such as herpes simplex, pseudorabies, and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV.)
8.Aqueous Spirulina platensis extract, (also known as Arthrospira platensis), inhibits 50% of the replication of the HIV/AIDS virus-1 in lines of human lymphocytes.
9.Phycocyanin C, a component found in spirulina, induces death in a cellular line of leukemia. Also, calcio-spirulina, a component found in spirulina, inhibits the tumor invasion of cellular lines of melanoma, carcinoma of the colon as well as fibrosarcoma. It considerably reduces the metastasis of a cellular line in the lungs as well.
10.The consumption of spirulina maxima can protect mice against the neuro-toxic effects of MPTP (a drug used to induce a rodent version of Parkinson´s disease.) Researchers found that mice that had consumed spirulina over 14 days showed a considerable reduction in the MPTP effect. This may be due to the antioxidants contained in spirulina.

The leader in alpha glucan technology

Mitotrol contains a high concentration of mostly alpha glucans and some beta glucans (alpha polysaccharides peptides) derived from brown rice through a proprietary process that employs:

1.Cross pollination of 3 special strains of rice to increase nutrients
2.Nanotechnology is used to reduce the ingredients to one millionth of a unit
3.It takes 100 pounds of rice to make one pound of Mitotrol

Alpha glucans are more bio-available than beta glucans and easily assimilated by the mitochondria to create ATP or cellular energy. According to Robert K. Naviaux, MD, PhD of A Primary Care Physician’s Guide, Mitochondrial biology is one of the fastest growing areas in genetics and medicine, connecting scientific disciplines ranging from embryology to cancer, to infectious disease. Indeed, disturbances in mitochondrial metabolism are now known to play a role not only in rare childhood diseases, but have also been implicated in many common diseases of aging, including heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson disease, and dementia.

Although most studies on plant glucans have been done on beta glucans from mushrooms, which also contain a small amount of alpha glucans, alpha glucans are smaller and easier to utilize by the cells of the body. Mitotrol is the first product to come to the market with a flip-ratio of alpha to beta glucans is proving to be just as effective as beta glucans from mushrooms and in most cases more powerful.

Unlocking a Major Cause of Disease

Mitochondrial medicine, new on the medical scene, is a rapidly developing science.

Even though mitochondrial disease research dates back to the 1940s, the first diagnosis of a mitochondrial disorder dates back to 1959. In 1963, researchers uncovered a different type of DNA in mitochondria creating its own blueprint (mtDNA) that differed from nuclear DNA (nDNA) found in the nucleus of cells.

Today, mitochondrial research involves a multitude of medical specialists, including:

1.Doctors specializing in metabolic diseases
2.Cell biologists
3.Molecular geneticists
4.Neurologists
5.Biochemists
6.Pathologists
7.Immunologists
8.Chiropractors
9.Embryologists

Mitochondrial and metabolic medical conditions, including more than 40 different identified diseases with varying genetic features, are called mitochondrial cytopathies. Each shares the common factor of having the inability to completely burn food and oxygen to generate energy.

Within each cell, mitochondria are tiny energy “factories” converting chemical fuel into energy. More and more research indicates that mitochondria play a vital role in aging and age-related ailments, such as type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's and heart disease. In older adults, mitochondria function less efficiently than in younger people. This is a change that may be related to insulin resistance, a trigger for diabetes.

Are mitochondria responsible for a cell’s survival?

Research found that genetically-engineered cells with higher levels of a mitochondrial enzyme (NAMPT) were better protected and more resistant to dying when subjected to toxic chemicals. Research also found that as long as the cells' mitochondria were healthy, they could maintain themselves regardless of their condition.

What are the symptoms of mitochondrial diseases?

Mitochondrial diseases are categorized according to the symptoms they present to various organs, including:

1.Brain
2.Nerves (including nerves to stomach and intestines)
3.Muscles
4.Kidneys
5.Heart
6.Liver
7.Eyes
8.Ears
9.Pancreas

In some patients, a single organ may be affected; in others, all organs may be involved. Mitochondrial illnesses can also range in severity from mild to fatal.

Depending on which cells of the body are affected, symptoms might include:

1.Dementia (mental disorder characterized by confusion, disorientation, and memory loss)
2.Developmental delays, learning disabilities
3.Diabetes
4.Gastrointestinal disorders, Including severe constipation
5.Growth impeded
6.Heart, liver, or kidney disease
7.Increased risk of infection
8.Mental retardation
9.Muscle coordination loss and muscle weakness
10.Neurological problems, seizures
11.Respiratory disorders
12.Thyroid dysfunction
13.Visual impairment and/or hearing losses

Mitotrol nutritionally supports the mitochondria’s ability to create cellular energy

Mitotrol contains compounds (alpha glucans) classified as a non-dialyzable high molecular weight with low molecular weight polypeptides.

The molecular weights of the different compounds range from 150 to 300 kDa. A major chemical feature of Mitotrol is the presence of D-glucose units in the main chain. Side-chain D-glucose units are linked via a 1, 6 to the main chain with low molecular weight polypeptides representing 9.5 percent of the substance at non-reducing terminal.

These plant-based glucans give many plants their important medicinal properties. Alpha-glucans are much smaller in molecular size than the well-known beta glucans, and therefore, easily absorbed by the body.

The alpha glucans in Mitotrol come from combining specific families of whole grain rice taken through a proprietary process that provides a higher ratio of alpha to beta glucans. Whole grain rice in general contains much higher levels of alpha forms of glucans than beta. Since rice is safe for all blood types, Mitotrol is fast becoming the product of choice over many mushroom-based products where the ratio of alpha to beta glucans is reversed.

A recent independent study conducted by The Royal Thai Army Hospital and College of Medicine in conjunction with PMK Research Center, Bangkok, Thailand, and Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta concluded: “The same whole grain rice polysaccharides and polypeptides in Mitotrol were shown to increase cellular energy (ATP) up to 54 percent. “

Results of these in vitro studies demonstrated that when neurotoxins were induced, they killed all the cells and severely damages the dendrites (fibers extending from the body of the cell). However, when neurons were pre-treated with rice polysaccharide peptides, they showed different levels of cell survival and apparent recovery of dendrites from the neurotoxin injuries within 48 hours. This study suggested that there may be a place for rice polysaccharide peptides in the nutritional support of brain-related injuries and diseases.
