The Science behind A3P Elite Nutrition

Curcumin, derived from turmeric root, is perhaps the most “pleiotropic” or multi-functional substance used in human health support. It is powerfully anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and also maintains normal cell growth throughout the body. It is one of nature’s greatest gifts to human health.  

Creatine is an amazing molecule that is critical to our health. Creatine supports cellular energy when demand is high from intense activity or after injury when normal energy production is disrupted. It supports cognitive function, lean muscle growth, and also provides antioxidant support to our cellular structures. 

DHA is the primary omega 3 fatty acid found in the brain. It is crucial to neuronal health and function. DHA promotes membrane fluidity in the cell membrane, and it also acts as a primary antioxidant in the brain. Most US adults get less than 30% of the recommended omega 3 fatty acid nutrition necessary for optimal health.

Pleiotropic means “many actions”. Unlike a drug which affects one pathway, natural products often affect many, enhancing their value to our health.The A3P Elite ingredients Creatine, Curcumin and DHA are perfect examples of pleiotropic ingredients.

Synergy exists when two or more things compliment each other, and have a greater effect together than they do separately. An example is the way in which Curcumin protects DHA from oxidation  in the brain, increasing DHA‘s effect when they are taken together.

Cellular health is critical to life. Injury, Oxidative Stress and Inflammation all damage our cellular integrity and function. Curcumin, Creatine And DHA are uniquely beneficial in supporting cellular vitality and function during intense exercise and in the event of injury. 

Our brain and muscle tissues need constant energy. When injury or overload occur, Creatine can provide extra energy to the brain in particular, thereby maintaining its performance and protecting it from long term damage.

Oxidative Stress happens normally when our cells make energy. In intense exertion or injury, excess Oxidative Stress can damage the body. Curcumin, Creatine and DHA  all protect  our cells from damage through Oxidative Stress.

Inflammation is natural. But when it becomes elevated, Inflammation damages our cells and tissues. Curcumin protects our bodies from excessive Inflammation. This allows for faster recovery, less muscle soreness and better performance
