Panaceo

Reduction of Lactic Acid and Oxidative Stress

Panaceo is a preparation of activated mineral zeolite and dolomite. Zeolites are made of volcanic ash and silicon which have been activated and using a specific and unique micronization process. They are natural micro-porous silicate minerals that can be colourless, white or pale red. Zeolites are very strong ion exchangers and research has shown them to have a high affinity for heavy metals and radioactive substances. They are also a strong antioxidant, immune modulator and antiviral agent.

Oxidative metabolism is, on the one hand, the most efficient way to produce energy and, on the other, the cause of free oxygen radicals. Oxidative stress is the predominance of free oxygen radicals, which cause damage to cell membranes and other biological structures (lipids, proteins, DNA...). Free radicals are particles with an unpaired electron which makes them unstable, short lived and highly reactive.

During high-intensity exercise, an accumulation of lactic acid (lactate and its associated proton released by the breakdown of ATP) occurs in muscles due to a lack of oxygen and a greater reliance on the anaerobic system for energy production.  If there is an adequate supply of oxygen, the cell can use protons to reconstitute ATP; otherwise lactate is produced to neutralize the cell’s elevating accumulation of protons which is the determining factor of acidosis in the muscles. Once the body slows down, oxygen becomes available and aerobic metabolism can resume removing the build-up of lactic acid, which can be converted back to glucose to be metabolized into energy or stored in the muscles for later use. Energy saved by the reduction of free radicals can extend the aerobic phase of energy production, and the anaerobic threshold, or lactate threshold, is reached at a later stage. With Panaceo Sport you can expect to:

1) exercise within your fat burning zone for a longer period.
2) increase oxygen supply to your heart and muscles.           
3) reduce the risk of rupture to muscle fibers.
4) boost your immune system to improve your training.

Panaceo is the only zeolite product that is recognized in the European Union as a medical device. European Union Medical Device Directive 93/42 EEC. Not only for top athletes but also for everyone wanting to preventively support his body Panaceo is a valuable help for their health.
