NutriGenesis^® Potassium v1

Potassium is suitable for anyone seeking to up their potassium intake for optimal health and well-being.

It can be particularly advantageous for those with high sodium intake and/or limited fruit and vegetable consumption ⁽¹⁴⁾. Potassium plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure levels, supporting cardiovascular health.

Potassium might also be beneficial for physically active individuals, supporting muscle function and reducing muscle fatigue caused by low potassium levels ⁽²⁾.

NutriGenesis^® is a Performance Lab^® nutrition technology innovation: Vitamins, minerals and amino acids grown in live cultures in a state-of-the-art botanical setting.

A true biological nutrient form, NutriGenesis^® closely mirrors the molecular structure of food nutrients. NutriGenesis^® nutrients offer significant advantages over standard nutrient forms.

Featured in several Performance Lab^® formulas, NutriGenesis^® vitamins, minerals and amino acids are bioengineered to be safe, active and highly effective. For everyday health and performance.

Vitamins, minerals and amino acids are the most important nutrients you need to build a strong foundation for health and performance.

Performance Lab^® developed NutriGenesis^® to have our own in-house vitamins, minerals and amino acids to use in our own nutritional supplements.

In producing NutriGenesis^®, Performance Lab^® can best maintain our industry-leading quality standards for cleanliness, purity, effectiveness and eco-friendliness, across all our ultramodern formulas.

Not all vitamins, minerals and amino acids are the same. There are many nutrient forms, produced with a variety of processes. Some of the most popular nutrient forms available in supplements today include:

Food Concentrates

Whole food vitamin and mineral supplements are sourced from fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms. They include natural cofactors that make food nutrients so easy for the body to absorb and utilize. However, they do require extensive processing and may be made with GMOs, mass agriculture and dirty eco-destructive practices.

Isolated Chemical (USP) Nutrients

Isolated Chemical (USP) is the cheapest vitamin and mineral form found in the most basic multivitamin supplements. This synthetic form chemically alters vitamins and minerals, isolating them from their whole-food cofactors. As a result, Isolated Chemical (USP) nutrients are typically harder to absorb and less effective than whole food nutrients.

Chelated Minerals

In this process, a mineral nutrient (such as iron, calcium, zinc) is bound with a chelator: An organic molecule (often an amino acid) that is large enough to enrobe the mineral. By surrounding the mineral, the chelator protects it against degradation. Chelated nutrients are highly stable and may improve nutrient uptake and utilization.

NutriGenesis^® is different from traditional nutrient forms: Bioengineered to be better.

NutriGenesis^® are cultured nutrients that replicate the creation of vitamins, minerals and aminos in nature.

NutriGenesis^® is based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Albert Szent Gyorgy, who theorized that nutrients presented in their naturally grown forms supply cofactors that make them more bioavailable, biologically active and effective than nutrients that are isolated.

In the NutriGenesis^® process, single-cell organisms are seeded with micronutrients in a hydroponic growth medium.

The live single-cell organisms “eat” the micronutrients, divide and thrive. As the cultures grow, they produce fresh new NutriGenesis^® vitamins, minerals and aminos within a matrix of natural cofactors. This familiar structure is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body.

More on the NutriGenesis^® Process

NutriGenesis^® advantages over other forms:

NutriGenesis^® is essentially food nutrition. Mirroring food nutrients molecule-by-molecule, our vitamins, minerals and aminos are presented in pure elemental form. Maximum nutrition: Nothing more, nothing less.

Enhanced effectiveness. Because NutriGenesis^® nutrients are in food-matrix form, they are recognized by the body as nature-identical -- maximizing nutrient uptake, bioavailability and beneficial activity.

Patented and researched. The patented process behind NutriGenesis^® has been shown in research to enhance nutrient absorption and retention (when compared to chemical isolates).

Cleaner and safer. NutriGenesis^® is produced in a sterile, tightly controlled lab setting. NutriGenesis^® is minimally processed, requiring no pesticides, herbicides or other synthetics associated with some other whole-food nutrients.

Better for the planet: The NutriGenesis^® process is clean and efficient, with little carbon footprint or environmental impact - especially when compared to factory farming for phytonutrients and strip mining for minerals.

It all begins with NutriGenesis^® Multi for Men and Multi for Women: This is Performance Lab^®'s multivitamin starting point for human performance optimization.

NutriGenesis^® vitamins, minerals and amino acids are also found in multiple Performance Lab^® formulas. Including Caffeine 2^™, Immune, Sleep and D3 + K2.

Beyond Performance Lab^®, NutriGenesis^® B-Vitamins are found in Mind Lab Pro^® - the world's most advanced brain supplement.
