ATP synthesis activator

Abstract

The present invention provides an ATP synthesis activator which allows the promotion of ATP synthesis in the body and results in an increased ATP level in the body for a long period of time. The ATP synthesis activator comprises, as an active ingredient, a mixture of a plurality of herbs having an ion-exchange capacity. It may stimulate electron generation in the body and hence results in an improved ATP synthesis activity due to the generated electrons, because dietary fiber contained in the herbs has an ion-exchange capacity.

What is claimed:  
     
         1 . A method for activating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis comprising the step of administering to a patient an effective amount of a mixture of herbs having an ion-exchange capacity as an active ingredient.  
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture generates electrons in said patient's body to give an oxidation-reduction potential of −300 mV or less.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the herbs are selected from a group consisting of thyme, rosemary, turmeric, fennel, grape seeds, dandelion, and  Acanthopanax senticosus.    
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein an effective amount of the adenosine triphosphate synthesis activator is within a range of 5.5 mg to 17.5 mg per kg of body weight.
