About “Mitokon Power”
Mitokon Power is a natural mixed feed that includes 5-ALA (5-Aminolevulinic Acid).
(Features of 5-ALA)
5-ALA is naturally present in the body and is involved in metabolism within animal mitochondria. When eight molecules of 5-ALA gather and bind with iron, they form “heme.” Heme is an essential component of cytochromes, necessary for energy production in mitochondria and also combines with globin to assist in the transportation of oxygen within red blood cells. The mass culture of photosynthetic bacteria has established the production of 5-ALA, making it feasible to administer to livestock.
