3. 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.

4. ENERGY = MITOCHONDRIA

11. Why ATP is critical for looking young

14. ATP – The energy cycle
ATP + H2O = ADP + Pi + H+ + energy + heat.

15. THE ENERGY CYCLE

19. 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
