Functions
- Initiates hundreds of important processes in the body.
- Reduces the damaging effects of stress and slows the deadly processes of
aging.
- Initiates the TCA cycle that produces more than 90% of the energy the
body requires to sustain life.
- Initiates the chemical reactions required by the human body to utilize
Coenzyme Q10, Coenzyme 1 (NADH/Enada) and many of the other nutrients the body
needs to stay healthy.
- Initiates the manufacture of the specific substances that facilitate
critical functions of the brain and adrenal glands.
- Supports the development and functions of the male and female sex organs
that are essential to human existence.
- Acts as the "universal acetate carrier"; it is the primary
biological cofactor used in acyl group transfers. It initiates the metabolism of
fatty acids, and supports pyruvate oxidation and other acetylation reactions.
- Supports critical functions of the immune system and facilitates the
repair of RNA, DNA and physical injury.
- Facilitates the manufacture of connective tissue and the formation and
repair of cartilage.
- Enhances physical performance and reduces the build up of lactate.
*Because the cycles that CoA participates in is so complex we have not fully
understood it and therefore do not want to offer an false information in
summarizing what we think we know. But please visit the sites below to
see what we've found.*
The
nutrients supplied by CoA also help the cells efficiently deliver fuel from
aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to the TCA cycle for energy release. Click
on this site to obtain an in-depth understanding of how CoA plays an important
role in TCA cycle (scroll down to “catabolism of sugar”):

Krebs cycle (because citric acid
is an organic acid derived from Krebs cycle products) www.rpi.edu/dept/bcbp/molbiochem/
