Liquid CoQ10

HerbaSway has formulated a great tasting liquid concentrate specially designed to help you maintain your general well-being and a healthy heart: Liquid Coenzyme Q10. Our new formula provides a combination of ingredients that will have a significant impact on your health. The synergistic combination of Lcarnitine and Coenzyme Q10 influence energy utilization and fight free radical damage. Coenzyme Q10 and L-Carnitine are both vital for life. Because your body produces less and less of these nutrients with age, it becomes increasingly important for you to include them in your diet. Studies show that your body begins to produce less Coenzyme Q10 at the age of 35.

What is Coenzyme Q10? Your body needs energy to function. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is involved in the manufacture of cellular energy, called ATP. Just as the car cannot function without that initial spark, the human body cannot function without CoQ10. Energy is produced in your body by small structures inside our cells called mitochondria. Most cells in your body contain between 500 – 2000 mitochondria. Heart cells have 5000! If your mitochondria are healthy, you will be too. Every cell in your body needs CoQ10, but no U.S. Dietary Reference Intake has been established for this important substance because the body can manufacture CoQ10 from scratch. The typical recommended dosage of CoQ10 is 30 to 300 mg daily. HerbaSway’s Liquid CoQ10 delivers 75 mg of Coenzyme Q10 per daily dosage.

Therapeutic utility of Coenzyme Q10: Numerous studies have investigated the utility of Coenzyme Q10 in a variety of disease states. Heart diseases: CoQ10 deficiency is very common in people with various types of heart disease. Supplementation with CoQ10 in diseases such as: angina, cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure showed an improvement of the conditions.

High blood pressure: It is thought that CoQ10 lowers blood pressure by lowering cholesterol levels and by stabilizing the vascular membrane via its antioxidant properties.

Muscular dystrophy: Significant improvements in heart function along with increased tolerance to exercise, reduced leg pain, better control of leg function and less fatigue have been noted in people supplemented with CoQ10. Periodontal disease: Studies showed that CoQ10 is quite effective in improving gum health.

Weight loss: Since CoQ10 is an essential cofactor for energy production, it may help promote fat burning and weight loss.

What is the role of L-carnitine? If CoQ10 is the spark plug, fatty acids are the fuel for making cellular energy. Fatty acids alone cannot pass through your mitochondrial membrane. If, however, you attach the fatty acid onto a molecule of LCarnitine, it can easily pass through the membrane. L-Carnitine acts as a freight train. It picks up your fatty acids at the station outside the mitochondria and transports it inside the cell. L-Carnitine improves oxygen utilization by your cells, thereby improving your life sustaining cellular functions. Carnitine supplementation may improve the utilization of fat as an energy source. As a result carnitine can exert a beneficial effect in the treatment of a wide range of conditions associated with impaired fat utilization and energy production. Clinical studies and the research done over the past years proved the effectiveness of L-carnitine for the following conditions:

• Heart disease (angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, recovery from a heart attack): L-carnitine has the ability to improve oxygen utilization and energy metabolism in the heart muscle

• Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels (L-carnitine lowers triglycerides and total cholesterol and raises HDL cholesterol)

• Enhancing physical performance

• Kidney disease and hemodialysis

• Liver disease

• Low sperm count and decreased sperm motility

• Peripheral vascular disease

• Weight management

Other ingredients in Liquid Coenzyme Q10 are: vitamin E, wheat germ oil, sunflower oil, lecithin, Lo Han, Stevia, purified water, vegetable glycerin, natural flavor, tangerine oil and xanthan gum. Because CoQ10 is fat-soluble it should be taken with fat. Liquid CoQ10 contains two healthy oils: wheat germ oil and sunflower oil.

• Cold pressed, unrefined wheat germ oil has a high content of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is the substrate for the synthesis of arachidonic acid in the human body. The metabolites of arachidonic acid fulfill many physiological functions.

• Lo Han (Momordica grosvenorii) fruit extract, supports the respiratory system and digestion

• Stevia (Eupatorium rebaudianum) extract, supports blood sugar and pressure levels

The effect of CoQ10 is enhanced by the presence of phosphatidylcholine from the lecithin component. Research has shown that phosphatidylcholine can promote mental clarity, cardiovascular health, liver health, neurological health and emotional health.

Vitamin E is also a very important nutrient. It is a powerful antioxidant and is critical to maintaining good health and proper reproductive function. Liquid Coenzyme Q10 contains natural vitamin E and you get 100% of RDI of vitamin E in 3 servings.

Directions: Shake well. Product may separate naturally. Mix 1 full dropper in a glass of cold (not hot!) water. Drink 3 times daily for maximum benefits. Take with meals. People who are taking drugs such as: cholesterol lowering drugs, beta-blockers drugs, drugs used in various psychiatric disorders or tricyclic antidepressants may have a higher depletion of CoQ10 in body tissues and may need higher dosages of CoQ10.

Keep all supplements out of reach from children. Pregnant or nursing women and those taking medications should consult their health care professional before taking any herbal products.

Active Ingredients: Coenzyme Q10, L-Carnitine, Vitamin E, Phosphatidylcholine (from lecithin), Lo Han, Stevia.
