- Helps prevent immuno-suppression due to increased or long-term cortisol secretion
- Increases muscle-building effects of exercise through anti-catabolic action
- Acts as an anti-oxidant, exerting protective and/or inhibitory action against free radicals and helping prevent cellular instability
- Stabilizes blood glucose levels (has an insulin-like effect)
- Optimizes glucose utilization in muscle cells
- Promotes higher levels of ATP and CP in muscle cells
- Optimizes lipid metabolism (utilization of fats for energy production)
- Helps the body utilize fuel more efficiently, with fewer toxic or waste byproducts (i.e., lactic acid, beta-lipoproteins), which can contribute to fatigue, reduced function, and damaging inflammation
- Improves and protects mitochondrial efficiency
- Protects digestive function by providing sustained energy to the GI tract
- Delays the onset of fatigue during exercise
- Improves recovery from exhaustive physical exertion
- Makes the stress response less damaging
- Helps to maintain homeostasis in the face of stress by regulating the body’s adaptive reactions
- Reduces excessive metabolic disruptions from the alarm stage of the stress response, and delays the exhaustion stage
- Efficient use of energy means greater reserves are more readily available when needed for performing difficult tasks
