ATP has been coined the “universal energy currency of life” and for good reason.
ATP is involved with creating proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as an important role in cell signaling, and cell membrane potential. For these reasons, it is easy to understand why ATP is so important.
When there is a decrease in blood flow or when there is insufficient oxygen or nutrients, cells cannot produce sufficient ATP to support life.
While ATP is recognized as important to survival, the efforts to harness the molecule and deliver it to cells have not been successful
- until now.
Why have previous attempts to harness ATP been unsuccessful?
ATP when added to cells cannot penetrate the membrane fast enough to support metabolism
ATP when applied to cells, activates purinergic and adenosine receptors leading to cell dysfunction
ATP delivery methods were inefficient in the rate and route causing mixed results
Formulations containing ATP were not stabile and had short shelf-life
At Energy Delivery Solutions, we’ve found a way to deliver ATP to cells.
