Activation of AMPK

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an enzyme that acts as a cellular energy sensor. When your cells have low energy—such as during exercise, fasting, or calorie restriction—AMPK gets activated. This activation helps conserve energy by turning on processes that generate ATP (the cell’s energy currency) and shutting down energy-consuming activities. Essentially, AMPK helps your body adapt to energy stress, promoting healthy metabolism and supporting functions like glucose uptake and fat breakdown, which can improve overall health and support weight management.
