Research-Supported Benefits:
Supports Energy Levels. Dysfunctional mitochondria cannot produce energy as effectively. Fats called phosphoglycolipids repair the mitochondrial membrane, reducing free radical damage and optimizing the mitochondria's ability to produce energy. Research shows NT Factor reduces fatigue by 35%. (1)
Supports Mitochondrial Function. Mitochondria Ignite contains “NT Factor,” a proprietary collection of compounds including phosphoglycolipids that support healthy mitochondrial membranes, our body’s main energy hub. It also contains alpha-lipoic acid, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, creatine monohydrate and more to support mitochondrial activity. (2)
Supports Cellular Health. It contains methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a sulfur-containing compound that suppresses free radicals produced by mitochondria, as well as alpha-ketoglutarate, an antioxidant compound that stimulates ATP production. (3)
Supports Gut Health. NT Factor contains Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus, probiotic bacteria that support a healthy gut microbiome and allow phosphoglycolipids to take hold in the gut. NT Factor also contains food-based prebiotic compounds to encourage the growth and survival of the probiotics, including beetroot fiber, blackstrap molasses, leek stem powder, garlic and spirulina.
