The First Insights Into How To Improve Your Strength, Speed, and Stamina?

1.) In the mid 1990's, as a post doctoral research Fellow Dr. Frank Merante was working with cardiovascular organ transplant physicians at The Toronto Hospital.  One of the challenges of the transplant process is how to keep the organ healthy and alive long enough to be transplanted into the patient. When an organ is taken out of the body it goes into a kind of shock and there is a flush of free radicals.  These free radicals can be very damaging and in order to combat this, antioxidants are used to scavenge the free radicals, prevent free radical injury and try and keep the organ healthy.

Dr. Merante looked at this and asked himself wouldn’t it be better to prevent the production of free radicals and resulting injury in the first place.   If you could help the organ to maintain normal function longer, the kind of function that is typical for a healthy organ perhaps you could prevent the problem from occurring rather than correcting the problem after it has occurred. This is a big and rather obvious idea:

Prevention Beats Recuperation.  

Dr. Merante speculated that in order to maintain normal function longer, the organ needs to have access to the specific nutrients (fuel) in the right form and at the right concentrations that any health organ would have under normal conditions.  With the right nutrients the organ could maintain itself, stay healthier longer and the probability of a successful transplant would increase.   Various publications on this line of research were published and can be found in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed)

Connecting the Dots to a New Way of Looking at Performance

2.)  Dr. Merante at the request of a colleague Mr. Eaton Donald, a recreational power-lifter, suggested a formulation of nutrients that would augment athletic performance and significantly reduce recovery, both between sets and between workouts.  This is the current formulation in Mitronite.

After trying the formulation for a week, Mr. Donald was stunned at the difference.  

Dr. Merante's premise and his message was very simple:

• Performance enhancement starts in the cell.
• You can improve performance by improving mitochondrial function.
• You can improve mitochondrial function through various means, in particular through nutrition.
• If you improve mitochondrial function, you should be able to maintain normal muscle function longer, during intense exercise.
• If you can maintain normal muscle function longer, you will improve training intensity and volume which will support increases in strength, stamina, and speed.

Mitronite Research Roadmap
to Validate Our Premise On
Improved Mitochondrial Function

3.)  The first step to proving the premise was a survey of the scientific literature.  Approximately 45 published studies suggested the premise was valid.

4.) Next came laboratory research the Mitronite team conducted on kidney cells, which again, indicated that premise was valid.

5.) Next the team conducted research on muscle cells, which further supported the hypothesis.  (This research is currently being prepared for publication.)

6.) While the laboratory research was taking place qualitative case studies were conducted on athletes.  See the case study on Ezekiel Fecher. We are cautious to draw broad conclusions from this one case study due to the significant positive results.  However, the results are encouraging.

7.) As of September 2016, the theme of our research efforts is as follows:

Enhanced Athletic Performance

via the Exploration of Improved Mitochondrial Function and the Impact of Various Interventions Such as Nutrition, Resistance Training, Aerobic Training, Interval and High Intensity Interval Training.

8.) We are continuing our research on muscles cells.

9.)  We are also getting ready to launch a large study (about 500-600 participants)  titled:  Metabolomics of Organic Acids in Human Sweat During Exercise.  This study, the first of its kind, will go a long way in further validating our research premise and giving performance driven athletes everywhere confidence that the nutritional interventions we are proposing and the effectiveness of Mitronite can be fully trusted.

We get this question a lot...

10.)  Competitive athletes from professional to amateur want to know what Mitronite can do for them.  Here is what we know so far.

• Mitronite does appear to significantly improve mitochondrial function.
• Mitronite does appear to support maintaining normal muscle function longer under intense exercise or competition.
• Mitonite significantly shortens recovery time.  This appears to be the case between sets as well as workouts.
• Mitronite does appear to significantly support the improvement of strength, speed, and stamina.
• Mitronite when taken on empty stomach takes approximately 20 minutes to reach the cells and take effect.
• Mitronite is not a stimulant.  There is no "high" or "buzz" and there is no crash.
