Product Details
Maximizing Energy
Production
Body Support™ Muscle Aid™ dietary
supplement provides a generous serving of malic acid to promote
optimal levels of energy production within cells.* Because of the
compelling evidence that malic aacid plays a central role in energy
production, especially during anaerobic conditions, Muscle Aid may
benefit healthy individuals interested in maximizing their energy
production.* malic acid occurs naturally in fruits, especially
watermelon, apples, plums, and cherries.

Energy
Currency of The Body
Eniva’s Muscle Aid is a nutritional supplement of bio-available
malic acid. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid that is present in
all living cells and plays a key role in energy production. Although
known as "apple acid" because it is found in high
concentration in apples, it's also found in other fruits (and
vegetables), such as watermelons, plums, and cherries.
There are two general routes for
energy production in the body. One uses oxygen (aerobic) and the
other does not (anaerobic). The route for energy production using
oxygen is called the citric acid cycle, or Krebs cycle. It is the
most efficient way for the body to produce energy. The route of
energy production that does not use oxygen, called glycolysis, is
not as efficient for energy production and can cause the buildup of
acid in tissues.
Adenosine
Triphosphate
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the substance that stores energy
that is created when the body burns carbohydrates and fats in the
Krebs’s cycle. When the body needs energy, as for a muscular
contraction, ATP is broken down to release the stored energy. ATP is
the universal energy molecule for the body and is produced within
structures in cells called mitochondria. Malic acid has been
indicated as a very critical molecule in controlling mitochondrial
function.*
Aluminum
Chelation
Malic acid has also been conclusively demonstrated in research
studies to be a very effective chelator of aluminum from the body.*
It’s able to dissolve aluminum complexes and reduce the
accumulation of this substance in various body tissues and organs.
Malic acid primarily increases the excretion of aluminum in the
urine but also causes excretion in fecal matter.

How
Muscle Aid Works
Malic acid is a precursor to malate, a substance in the body that is
critical in the production of energy in both the oxygen-dependent
(aerobic) and independent (anaerobic) routes.* Malate is a source of
energy and is the only metabolite of the oxygen-dependent cycle that
decreases in concentration during intense physical activity.
Therefore, the need for malic acid in energy production is critical.
In some individuals, for unknown reasons, the efficiency of energy
production via the oxygen-dependent route does not work optimally.
Therefore, the body may switch to anaerobic energy production. This,
however, can lead to the buildup of acid in muscle tissues, leading
to muscle soreness and feelings of fatigue. Malic acid has an
oxygen-sparing effect. As such, malic acid helps to promote the
proper functioning of the oxygen dependent route of energy
production and aids in feelings of muscle wellness.*
Muscle Aid
utilizes Eniva’s proprietary aqueous delivery system to provide
superior bio-availability for maximum effectiveness.*
