A dog’s level of energy is extremely important to its overall health. The dog’s metabolism involves a complex interaction of hormones and enzymes that convert food into fuel, the digestive process breaks down carbohydrates into monosaccharide (blood sugar), metabolism involves the cells use of blood sugar for energy. Supplements are capable of enhancing a dog’s ability to burn that fuel. Other molecules needed for energy can be synthesized from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. ATP is a nucleotide that contains a large amount of chemical energy stored in its high-energy phosphate bonds. It releases energy when it is broken down (hydrolyzed) into ADP (or Adenosine Diphosphate). The energy is used for many metabolic processes. Hence, ATP is considered as the universal energy currency for metabolism.
