Adenosine Triphosphate

Overview

Adenosine triphosphate is an ingredient more commonly known in the biology world by its abbreviation of ATP. This cellular energy source is utilized throughout the body to power various cellular functions, and it is a critical component of several processes, including glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle.

In skincare products, adenosine triphosphate is thought to provide this energy in a synthetic manner to the cells in the skin. This would then encourage cell growth and vitality. However, more studies need to be done to confirm if this method of administration of adenosine triphosphate is effective.
