Aging and chronic disease, specifically asthma, are marked by deterioration of the lipids in the cell and mitochondrial membranes of our bodies. Decreased concentration of the phosphplipids in the cells lining the respiratory tracts have been observed[1]. NT Factor® is a nutrient compound that provides phospholipids and has been proven in clinical studies to restore membrane health[3]. Oxygen utilization at the cellular level is a function of the membrane, specifically the mitochondrial membrane. NT Factor restored mitochondrial function in elderly persons to levels normal for healthy young adults in 8 weeks[2].

NT Factor is a blend of nutrients that includes phosphoglycolipids extracted using proprietary technology plus antioxidants. Published research states that the phospholipids in NT Factor closely match the phospholipids normally found in healthy human cell membrane and that NT Factor is in effect lipid replacement therapy (LRT) plus antioxidants[3]. LRT is not just the dietary substitution of certain phospholipids with proposed health benefits; it is the actual replacement of damaged cellular phospholipids with undamaged phospholipids to ensure proper structure and function of cellular structures, mainly cellular and organelle membranes. This constitutes the most important functional use of lipids in our bodies.
