MITO-CHON® 250mL
NEW 21st Century Real Energy
FAQs
FAQ
What is Mito-Chon? Mito-Chon is a 250mL (8.4oz) drink. It is in a new category unlike anything ever sold before. It does not create energy, it harnesses the essence of energy created within the body by the natural process of the energy engine performance of the mitochondria.
Who created it? Ben Midulla, Dr. Rick Bellamy, Dick Meador, with special acknowledgement to Hans-Peter Strobel (Switzerland) and Dr. Seppe Porta (Austria).
Why should we use it? Mito-Chon is our #1 life-enhancing, great tasting, clean formulation of all-natural beneficial ingredients that liberate the ENERGY WITHIN, your body's KEY to better health/feeling younger/performing better. And who doesn't want that?
Is Mito-Chon a pre-workout? No, it is not. Pre-workouts jack you up and then bring you down. Mito-Chon is more than that, it can be taken before, during or after. It is truly a game changer, in a class by itself, a complete all-in-one package that uniquely and naturally liberates the true energy within our bodies create through cell regeneration and the stimulation of ATP production.
Is Mito-Chon just for fitness and athletes? NO. Mito-Chon is for any person who works under stress for long hours and needs more real energy which only comes from the good foods we eat and some supplements. If you work long hours knowing you must be focused and have real energy within you to overcome exhaustion, then Mito-Chon is for you. And Rock Stars love Mito-Chon, too.
Why is there only one product? We don’t want to confuse YOU with choices of colors, flavors, etc. We don’t make separate products for pre-during-post-recovery. Just one product, Mito-Chon, one great taste--more than enough and your wallet will thank you. Should we come out with another product it will be based on the underpinning of Mito-Chon 250mL; and might just be a little quicker in getting energy to the mitochondria; but that’s the next chapter.
What is the mitochondria? The human body is made up of about a hundred trillion cells and every one of those cells need energy to fuel and perform its individual functions from moving to thinking to breathing. And that energy comes from the mitochondria (Nick Lane's book, Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life), the tiny "power plants" or tiny cellular “factories” that turn food (nutrients) into a chemical form of energy known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The mitochondria make the ATP from our food by a chemical process similar to the internal combustion in a car engine; instead of using gas and oxygen to release energy, food and oxygen is used (source, Nick Lane’s e-book Oxygen). What gives us our energy, is behind the origin of two sexes, and directs our aging and death? The answer in each case lies in mitochondria, the only place in your body that can burn fat; the more muscle you have, the more fat you can burn. Muscle tissue is filled with mitochondria, the more you have, the more energy your body produces. Mitochondria are now seen as the key ingredient that made complex life possible at all. The mitochondria is also the only place in the body where ATP is produced, making it possible for our brain, heart, muscles, etc. to function; it's key to better health, feeling younger, performing better. ATP was even mentioned recently in the 2017 Tour de France when one of the commentators remarked that the because of the work load a rider in the breakaway for 5 hours "used up all the ATP in his body!"
How is Mito-Chon different from some energy/sports drinks? What Mito-Chon® manifests is the evolution of the primitive concept of an "energy drink", which offers only a temporary experience, into the concept of a "life-enhancing formula", based on a deeper understanding of where real energy comes from. Mito-Chon is a clean technology that works with the body to enhance life fundamentally.
What are the active ingredients in Mito-Chon? Only the finest natural ingredients, no synthetics (see list on website). As to Caffeine, we added a small amount of natural caffeine from the bean because there is evidence it can help in small amounts in central nervous system activity. It also affects adenosine receptors in the thalamus and enhances the synergistic effects of the other ingredients of Mito-Chon.
Why is sugar in Mito-Chon? There is sugar and then there is sugar—sound confusing? The only sugar in Mito-Chon is the good natural sugar from the Elderberry berries/flowers—there are NO added sugars, synthetic or otherwise.
Will I experience any side-effects? No side effects, other than feeling good, with improved strength, performance, endurance, recovery, focus, etc.
What are the recommended ages? While there are no restrictions on age we would suggest 16+ and must be in good health. Parents should understand the ingredients and consult with their pediatrition if they feel it necessary. A lot of young athletes are taking energy drinks with high levels of caffeine and other synthetic ingredients that are essentially stimulants. Not good.
Where can I use it? Everywhere you go! Great on long trips, so if your flying, until we get Mito-Chon in every airport and airline worldwide, bring a bottle with you and drink it before encountering TSA agents, etc. You will feel better for the whole trip. It's also good for jet lag. Long distance truck drivers are getting to love it, so watch for Mito-Chon in all major truck stops.
Is it safe? Yes. All 16 ingredients can be bought separately in stores.
Are there any risks associated with use? Our research and extensive vetting has shown Mito-Chon and its properties to be of little risk. No warning labels are required.
When is the best time for competitive athletes to take it? In team sports (NCAA, NFL, NHL, MLS, MLB, FIFA, Rugby, Soccer and Cricket worldwide). Take a Mito-Chon before competition and good afterwards. The same for endurance sports (cycling, swimming, gymnastics, triathlon, CrossFit, X-Games, MMA, Formula 1, Indycar, NASCAR) depending upon the length of the event. Bodybuilders and gym members, forget pre-during-post-workouts, just one bottle of Mito-Chon is needed. Also, see the fourth question/answer at the top of this section.
