NADH - The Cellular Fat Burner In WARP 9!

WARP-9 formulations contain the stabilized form of NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), one of the most important coenzymes in the human brain and body. In WARP 9, NADH has many functions and one of those is improvements in energy production (one of the reasons WARP 9 is so energetic without stimulating the central nervous system) and increases in neurotransmitter production (mental energy).

NADH also acts as a fat burner as the storage of fat is utilized and burned by the mitochondia. The mitochondria are intracellular organelles that produce energy through cellular respiration. Eventually this fat ends up as fuel for the trillions of mitochondrial "power plants " found in the cells of your body energized by NADH making it a true fat burner.

The chemistry of NADH is some of the most complex in the human body. NADH is necessary to oxidize (burn) all foodstuffs (fats, sugars, amino-acids) into ATP bioenergy. This oxidation process splits into three interlinked energy production cycles: (1) the Glycolytic Cycle, (2) the Krebs (citric acid) Cycle, and (3) the Electron Transport Side Chain (ETSC).

One of the most important glycolytic cycle "waste" end products produced by the Krebs Cycle is pyruvic acid. It provides the cyclic energy needed to produce electron "sparks" released from the step by step slow "burning" that occurs in the Krebs cycle. This process provides the fuel used by the Electron Transport Side Chain to generate the ATP bioenergy that literally powers our life.

NADH is a necessary coenzyme for all these processes in specific functions of the cycles. It is NADH that captures the electron "sparks" thrown off during Krebs cycle oxidation and shuttles them to the ETSC energy production cycle. Each unit of NADH is capable of generating three units of ATP energy. Scientific evidence indicates that increasing NADH helps to uncouple these ATP energy protons and bypass ATP synthase. This converts the energy back across the mitochondrial inner membrane and increases cellular thermogenic reaction thru protonmotive force directly to heat.(1)

The uncoupling of ATP synthase and the electron transport chain also occurs in brown fat.(2) The proton gradient is used to create heat rather than ATP resulting in thermogenisis reaction and white fat loss.

In a scientific sense, NADH is the "energy of life" coenzyme and the spark plug that helps increase brain neurotransmitter synapses and acts as a intracellular fat burner. This helps the body become a more efficient fuel burning machine opening the gate to weight loss. These intracellular benefits are the reason why NADH is included in WARP-9's formulation.

Research conducted on competitive athletes indicates NADH enhances energy capacity. Researchers measured reaction times, physical performance and performance quality in 17 competitive cyclists and long distance runners. Performance was measured with a bicycle ergo meter, and performance quality was determined by measurements of continuous attention. These tests were taken both before and after the athletes took 5 mg of NADH before breakfast each morning for four weeks.

After four weeks of NADH supplementation, most athletes experienced significantly less scattering of reaction times-it dropped by 10% in five athletes, 10 to 20% in eight athletes, and more than 20% in three athletes. Reaction time overall improved considerably in 16 out of the 17 subjects. Compared to baseline measurements, physical performance also improved. Two subjects improved their maximum work performance by more than 10% with another 7 showing increases of up to 10%.

Similar improvements were made in maximum oxygen uptake. Based on these results, the researchers hypothesized that improved reaction times may have resulted from correcting prior NADH deficiency in some athletes or an increase in dopamine production that led to increased alertness and vigilance. They concluded that stimulation of cellular ATP production by NADH enhanced athletic performance.
