What is AMPK?*
AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase or AMP-activated protein kinase) is a natural enzyme which could be found in different areas of the body, including the liver, brain, and muscles, where it may play a role in the way cells use and manage energy.*
As AMPK activity may naturally change with age, it appears to have become an area of interest for research linked to normal metabolic balance and aging.*
How Could AMPK Potentially Help Maintain Normal Cellular Energy?*
Studies seem to suggest that AMPK might be involved in some processes linked to energy and nutrient use.* When active, this enzyme may help support the body’s natural ability to use stored resources efficiently.*
In fact, it may help:*
- Encourage balanced energy metabolism.*
- Support normal fat utilization.*
- Maintain already healthy cellular function.*
What is Inside AMPK Booster?*
Our AMPK supplement contains three natural ingredients which appear to have been studied for their possible influence on AMPK pathways and cellular energy balance:*
- Gynostemma pentaphyllum – sometimes called jiaogulan, this botanical is standardized in gypenosides and seems to have been studied for its potential impact on metabolic processes.*
- Berberine – an isoquinoline alkaloid constituant of the Berberis vulgaris plant compound which may have been researched for its possible effect on cellular pathways related to energy balance (see this NCBI article for more information).*
- Fisetin – a flavonoid extracted from certain plants, such as the Rhus succedanea tree, studied for its supposed role in helping to maintain normal cellular signaling and longevity pathways.*
What Are Potential AMPK Benefits?*
Scientific literature seems to have explored the potential benefits of AMPK, which may help:*
- Support already healthy energy metabolism and cellular renewal, as suggested by preclinical studies.*
- Encourage glucose uptake and utilization by cells, as noted in certain research.*
- Modulate fat metabolism and lipid synthesis, as reported in some experimental studies.*
- Maintain normal triglyceride and fatty acid levels, according to clinical literature.*
- Influence mitochondrial activity and cellular cleanup processes (autophagy), as observed in mechanistic studies.*
