Nutraceutical Support of Fatigue Reduction, Improved Physical, Mental & Cognitive Function and Mitochondrial Function

This is an open-label human clinical study to evaluate the effects of consumption of the nutraceutical product ATP-Fuel, compared to the nutraceutical product ATP-II. The study participants will be randomized to one of three groups: consuming ATP-Fuel (5 capsules, twice daily); consuming ATP-II (3 capsules, once daily); or consuming ATP-II (3 capsules, twice daily). The study is of 8 weeks' duration, with evaluation at baseline, 1, 4, and 8 weeks of product consumption.
