Description
What is Axitol-N?
Axitol-N is a food supplement containing Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 (CavaQ10®), MGCPQQ® (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone), Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Vitamin B12, and L-Methylfolate.
R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid
R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) is a naturally occurring compound produced in the human body. It is present naturally in the body and is also found in foods such as meat and vegetables. Alpha-Lipoic Acid is known for its antioxidant properties and has been studied for its role in protecting cells against oxidative stress and in various metabolic processes.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound found in the mitochondria of cells, where it plays an important role in cellular energy production. It also has antioxidant properties and helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
The CoQ10 in Axitol-N is provided in the CavaQ10® form, which has been developed to enhance the bioavailability of CoQ10. In a bioavailability study, CavaQ10® was shown to be 18 times more bioavailable than CoQ10-MCC*.

PQQ – Pyrroloquinoline Quinone
PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone) belongs to the family of quinone cofactors and has been studied for its role in mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. PQQ participates in biochemical redox reactions and has been investigated for its potential role in cellular energy metabolism.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has assessed the use of Pyrroloquinoline Quinone as a novel food ingredient in food supplements intended for adults, excluding pregnant and breastfeeding women, at a maximum intake level of 20 mg per day. This assessment followed an application submitted by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc., the manufacturer of the raw material used in Axitol-N.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is the acetylated form of L-carnitine, a naturally occurring substance synthesized in the human body from the amino acids lysine and methionine.
ALCAR is readily transported into tissues, including the nervous system, and is involved in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are utilized for cellular energy production. It has also been studied for its role in mitochondrial function, neuronal health, and protection against oxidative stress.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) is a water-soluble B vitamin that is essential for several normal physiological functions. It contributes to normal red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and normal functioning of the nervous system.
According to the health claims authorised by EFSA, vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function, normal functioning of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
L-Methylfolate
L-Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the biologically active form of folate and can be directly utilized by the body without requiring enzymatic conversion.
It is involved in important metabolic processes, including DNA and amino acid synthesis and normal homocysteine metabolism. According to the health claims authorised by EFSA, folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal functioning of the immune system, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
5-MTHF is the biologically active form of folate in the human body and has been studied as an alternative source of folate in individuals with reduced folate-conversion capacity associated with genetic polymorphisms, such as those affecting the MTHFR enzyme.
