Hesperetin may potently enhance ATP production
-
Hesperetin (derivative of Hesperidin in orange juice) improves cellular respiration for more ATP which is a key to overall health. increased mitochondria ATP by 33%. and also improved spare capacity by 25%
most potent effect out of 7949 tested compoundsResearchers screened 7949 natural compounds in human differentiated myotubes to find molecules that increased mitochondrial ATP and oxygen consumption. Hesperetin (a flavanone aglycone derived from hesperidin) was one of the most potent hits in this screen based on dose–response comparisons. At 10 µM in myotubes, hesperetin:Increased intracellular ATP by about 33 %.Increased mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity by about 25 % (Seahorse respirometry).It shifted ATP production toward oxidative phosphorylation (more mitochondrial ATP, less glycolytic ATP) and directly increased oxygen consumption, confirming a mitochondria‑targeted effect.
