Outline

• Why ATP is critical for looking young.

• The energy cycle and what happens

• ATP and the decline with aging.

• How to increase ATP topically

• Which vitamins enhance ATP production

• LED and Microcurrent.

ENERGY = MITOCHONDRIA

Why ATP is critical for looking young

ATP – The energy cycle

ATP + H2O = ADP + Pi + H+ + energy + heat.

THE ENERGY CYCLE

Vitamin Supplementation

Some authors have recommended the following:

25-150mg of the "basic Bs" - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6;

300-10,000mcg biotin

100-1,000mcg B12

400-2,000mcg folic acid

Magnesium 400-800mg daily

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Carnitine

NADH
