#078: Dr. Ralf Jaeger - ATP for Nitric Oxide, Blood Flow, & Performance

https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/podcast/dr-ralf-jaeger-atp-078 On December 28, 2022, we had the honor of hosting Dr. Ralf Jaeger to the PricePlow Podcast. For Episode #078, we dove into all things ATP -- adenosine triphosphate -- and how supplementing more with Peak ATP (sold and distributed by TSI Group) can improve workout performance -- but not in the way most individuals expect. Peak ATP provides exogenous ATP as a disodium ATP salt, which is the most stable form. While many think of ATP as the "energy currency" of all living cells, it's also a signaling molecule. When supplementing, its real effects take advantage of that mechanism: Dr. Jaeger explains that ATP signals greater nitric oxide release, thereby improving blood flow. This is especially helpful to take before intense exercise, as ATP stores get used up quickly and the body needs to generate more. Low ATP levels means low performance. At the end. Dr. Jaeger also teases some new research coming up that we're extremely excited about, and will follow on PricePlow. Timestamps: 0:12 - Introductions 2:38 - What is ATP?
