French Oak Wood Extract – an Ingredient for Energy, Detox and Mitochondrial Support

Ingredient

French Oak Extract has been recognized as a substance with potential beneficial effects for many years. 
 

Horphag Research developed a proprietary method for extracting and purifying the French oak wood, and named its French oak extract Robuvit®. 

Robuvit® is a raw material that is sold as a 100% water-soluble powder that can be used by manufacturers as an ingredient in a range of finished products.

French Oak Wood extract rejuvenates mitochondria for greater energy

Energy in the body is generated by mitochondria, largely autonomous small cell organelles, present in all body cells. These cellular power stations generate energy in form of ATP from burning nutrients, carbohydrates, lipids, and further materials, with considerable oxidative stress as by-products, which may harm the host cell, but especially burdens the performing mitochondrion itself. Aged malfunctioning mitochondria continue to process fats and carbohydrates, yet with rapidly decreasing efficiency for ATP-generation and increasing oxidative stress and accumulating debris, which gradually destructs the mitochondrion itself. Especially organs with high energy turnover, such as muscle, neuros and liver, are prone to harm.

French Oak Wood extract stimulates mitophagy

French Oak Wood extract metabolites urolithins are shown to induce mitophagy, a process submitting aged, seared, dysfunctional mitochondria to lysosomes, cell compartments specialised for complete disintegration of debris, by enzymes and acid. In replacement, new mitochondria are assembled, which are fully functional, providing energy at maximum yield.

French Oak Wood extract  metabolites urolithins increase muscle function by rejuvenating mitochondria through accelerated replacement of aged mitochondria by newly synthesised fully operative mitochondria.
