Did you know that CoQ10 can speed up your metabolism, boost your energy levels, slow down the aging process and help you exercise longer?

CoQ10 is found in its highest concentrations in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas.

Foods such as beef, soybean oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts are higher in CoQ10.  Low blood levels of CoQ10 have been found in people with various types of cancer and chronic diseases including heart conditions, Parkinson’s disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, periodontal disease and HIV/AIDS.  In addition, some prescription drugs, such as statins, may lower CoQ10 levels.  Natural CoQ10 levels decrease with age.

Coenzyme q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally-occurring fat-soluble compound found in every cell in the body.  It plays a key role in producing energy in the mitochondria, the part of a cell responsible for the production of energy in the form of ATP.

It was first discovered by Professor Fredrick L. Crane and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Enzyme Institute in 1957.

In 1972, Gian Paolo Littarru and Karl Folkers separately demonstrated a deficiency of CoQ10 in human heart disease.

Dietary Sources:

Meat and fish are the richest source of dietary CoQ10 and levels over 50 mg/kg can be found in beef, pork and chicken heart, and chicken liver.  Vegetable oils are also quite rich in CoQ10.  Parsley and perilla are the richest vegetable CoQ10 sources.  Broccoli, grape, and cauliflower are modest sources of CoQ10. Most fruit and berries represent a poor to very poor source of CoQ10, with the exception of avocado, with a relatively high CoQ10 content.

After age 35, the body produces less CoQ10, which can lead to a weakened immune system and feeling less energetic.  The fact that the body produces less CoQ10 when getting older could be linked to the aging process itself.

Why People Take Coenzyme q10 Supplements:

1. Alleviate some types of migraine headaches
2. Reduce the progression of Parkinson’s Disease
3. Maintain / heal the heart and cardiovascular system
4. Cancer
5. Reduce blood pressure
6. Treat periodontal or gum disease (CoQ10 works by inhibiting bacterial growth due to improved oxygen metabolism at the cellular levels.)
7. Neutralize free radicals
8. Strengthen the immune system
9. Diabetes
10. Increase energy levels
11. Anti-aging
12. Breast cancer
13. Mental alertness
14. Reduce radiation injury
15. Regenerate other antioxidants such as Vitamin E
16. Kidney failure

Importance of Fat Soluble Molecules like Coq10:

Many people who have had their gall bladders removed, had bariatric surgery or who have compromised immune systems; have digestive problems, gluten intolerance or major health issues such celiac disease, Crohn’s or cystic fibrosis, have a difficult time absorbing fat soluble molecules, such as Coenzyme q10, which further hinders their ability to heal from their conditions.

How to Buy CoQ10 Supplements:

Coq10 supplements vary widely in price and quality.  Interestingly, only 10-30% of most supplements, including liquid supplements, are absorbed.  (Remember, fat soluble molecules like Coq10 can be the most difficult to absorb.)  It’s not unusual to spend more than $50 per month for what’s thought to be a high quality supplement and still only have limited absorption.

When it comes to nutrition, it’s not just what you eat, it’s what you absorb.  (In other words, you can be eating a very clean, pure diet, but absorbing very little of it.) Fortunately, there is a new Swiss technology, called VizPur, which makes CoQ10 and other fat soluble nutrients more absorbable, actually water soluble, with a newly stabilized, patented micelle process.  The process is designed to dramatically increase absorption of fat soluble nutrients, such as Vitamin E and Vitamin D3 and Omega 3, up to 90%!   Many people who used to have health disorders related to fat soluble nutrient deficiencies are already noticing tremendous improvements in their health because of these new Swiss technology water soluble products!  (Have you noticed how most health solutions seem to come back to water?  ”Viz” actually means “water” in Hungarian!)

Dear Readers,

The information you are about to read won us an iPad 3 this week!  (Yes- it’s for real- it’s not one of those iPad 3 scams that we’ve all read about!)

Here’s our latest natural health find and how it won us an iPad 3! . . .

No matter how great your supplements are, and there are a lot of good ones, did you know your body can only absorb a small percentage of them (like 10-20% or less, which means you only get a value of ten or twenty cents for every dollar you spend on supplements)?  And, worse yet, if you have health or digestive problems, you may be absorbing even less of them or none at all.

People who are serious about optimum nutrition, optimal health and fitness, anti-aging or feeling good are serious about this issue of absorption. (If they’re not, they’re wasting a lot of money.)

Feel Good Buzz Natural Health & Fitness is now one of the first to offer a novel, patented, Swiss technology which unlocks the age old problem in nutrition and skin care: Absorption.

What does this mean?:

It means these products don’t just pass through your body or sit on your skin.  And, it means the pile of pills can be replaced with a great tasting drink.

We say, “YES” to nutrition that can prove 90% absorption with a patented new Swiss technology that mimics the body’s natural absorption process and uses the power of water.  (We also say, “Yes!” to getting a 90% return on our dollars!)  How about you?

Current Products utilizing this Patented Water Soluble Process:

• All natural liquid energy with COQ10
• Natural men’s and women’s complete first water soluble, liquid daily supplement- includes COQ10, Vitamin A, D and E

The human body is like an automobile engine.  The body uses the oxygen a person inhales to turn the fuel, or food, into energy. Likewise, cars burn fuel using oxygen.  In cars, the process takes place at high temperatures, creating an internal explosion that powers the car. The human body burns its fuel at lower temperatures in a more controlled manner. But both situations create byproducts that are often reactive and toxic.

Catalytic converters manage a lot of the byproducts in automobiles, and in the human body, antioxidant enzymes do the job.

Protandim increases the antioxidant enzymes that every cell knows how to produce. But as we get older, we don’t produce enough of them. Things associated with aging crank down our ability to produce them. Protandim nudges it back up. It keeps our catalytic converter big, and it protects cells.

According to Dr. Joe McCord, Protandim’s inventor, the product activates something called transcription factor Nrf2, which signals the cell’s DNA to regulate 3,000 to 4,000 genes in the body, tamping down the functions of some and boosting others, bringing them back in balance the way they were when a person was young and healthy. The biggest effect may be on the immune system.

The immune system is a very complicated system that is your major protection against the diseases of aging.  Cancer is viewed by many as a failure of the immune system. When you get a mutated cell when you’re young, the immune system recognizes it, jumps on it, and kills it. But if the system gets partially incapacitated as you get older, and you’re getting more cancer cells, and your immune system didn’t notice or do anything about it, then you’re in big trouble.

The science behind Protandim—and the product itself—has been validated through eight scientific studies so far, most of them conducted by organizations that have no connection to LifeVantage.

“This company and product are different because they came out of academic research at universities,” McCord says. “A number of university faculties around the world are studying this just because of their fascination with it. It’s real cutting-edge science. Protandim is a powerful tool for anyone interested in Nrf2 and how it works, and that’s a lot of scientists.”

McCord adds that some prescription drugs are in the final testing stages of clinical trials that are based on Nrf2 activation. So far, studies have shown positive results in chronic kidney failure and in multiple sclerosis. The University of Colorado study that caught ABCPrimetime’s attention showed that human test subjects who took one Protandim tablet daily realized a 40 percent average decrease in TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), which are an indicator of a person’s rate of aging and oxidative stress. The effect was even greater after four months.

Protandim is made of a synergetic blend of five herbal ingredients: silymarin from milk thistle; bacopa extract, ashwagandha, green tea extract, and curcumin from turmeric. McCord notes that natural ingredients are among the best activators of Nrf2.

People always ask us, ‘Is your product a vitamin?”  (It’s an understandable question when you consider that we’ve never seen or heard of anything like it.)

The answer is “no”.  In fact, this kind of makes antioxidant vitamins look silly.

What we mean by that is, we’ve all been taught that we need to consume as many antioxidants as we can to eliminate all of those free radicals that are doing damage to our bodies, especially as we get older and face life threatening diseases.

The problem is, no one bothers to tell us that one traditional antioxidant molecule can only go after 1 free radical molecule at time before dying off in the process.  And, since our bodies have about 300 sextillion, (that’s the #3 followed by 23 zeros, I believe) free radicals in them each day, that’s going to be a real uphill/no win battle!  And, they also for sure don’t tell us that we can actually consume too many antioxidants, which then creates more of the free radicals that we’re trying to get rid of in the first place!  (Ugh!)

The good news is, Protandim has been scientifically, independently proven to go after 1 million free radicals per second without being used up in the process!

That’s like having your house engulfed in flames and pouring a cup of water (like a conventional antioxidant supplement) on it to put it out versus using a professional fire hose with a continuous stream of water (Protandim) to put it out!  I’d pick the Protandim/the fire hose, wouldn’t you?

And, there’s more . . . Protandim isn’t like a vitamin, because it causes your own cells to make their own antioxidant enzymes for the cells and by the cells that eliminate 1,000,000 free radicals per second!

To use another analogy, taking a conventional antioxidant supplement is like going to the grocery store to buy your fresh vegetables.  Taking Protandim is more like growing your own, pesticide-free, fresh vegetables right out of your own backyard garden.  Once again, we’d rather make/grow my own and use Protandim!

In case you’re still not getting what all of this means to you in terms of better health, better aging, better vitamins and preventing or eliminating serious disease, then do yourself a favor, don’t just take our word for it, go to www.pubmed.gov.  This is an international resource for all research that’s been published in scientific and medical journals.  (This is where we have access to high caliber published research.  Getting published in an independent, peer reviewed journal is a big deal and an arduous process.  This site is what your medical doctor uses to learn more about the latest studies.  And, if he/she doesn’t use it, fire him and get a new one.  Better yet, in my opinion, get a good naturopath instead.)  Our tax dollars pay for www.pubmed.gov.

According to the research, Protandim is the best supplement on the planet for reducing oxidative stress (that’s what it’s doing when it’s eliminating those 1 million free radicals per second).  When you get to www.pubmed.gov, type in “oxidative stress“.  (Then notice you get over 84,000 studies.)  Now, type in “oxidative stress + cancer” or “oxidative stress + breast cancer” or “oxidative stress + diabetes”.  (You get the idea, just type in “oxidative stress” + any disease or health issue, and you will see the connection.)  Also, fyi, oxidative stress and inflammation go hand in hand.

Finally, while you’re at www.pubmed.gov, type in “Protandim“.  There are now 7 independently studied, published, peer reviewed articles on Protandim with many more in the works and soon to be released.  The published studies will validate what we’ve shared.  And, in case you don’t see what you’re looking for, just email us and we’ll tell you where to download the three Protandim patents too.

*** This might be the most important thing of all . . . If you or anyone you know is dealing with a major health crisis, even if it includes surgery, get on/get them on Protandim A.S.A.P.!  Dr. Joe McCord, Protandim‘s founder out of CU Denver, announced a study in October of 2010 which shows the benefits of taking Protandim WHILE undergoing chemotherapy or radiation (It kills the cancer cells while protecting the healthy cells.)!  Here’s that study:  “Enhanced glutathione efflux from astrocytes in culture by low extracellular Ca2+ and curcumin” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.  If the person you’re trying to help, ignores you, have them call us.  Or, better yet, let’s do a three way phone call together!  (This is important stuff!)

*** Here’s an example of someone in a major health crisis (cancer) who was helped by Protandim . . . At a November talk in Denver, Dr. Dondee Nettles shared an experience he had with a world reknowned oncologist from Utah calling him (a retired chiropractor) to ask why/how the Protandim was working so well for one of his patients.   He told Dr. Dondee that he had a patient with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer who’d been treated with chemo. and radiation 12 times!  His patient has started taking Protandim 6 weeks ago! and her tumor markers went down from 258 to 112!

(There are many more examples like this one of people who’ve been helped by Protandim.  www.pubmed.gov should help you understand why.)
