• Co Enzyme Q 10 with L- Carnitine
• Supports a Healthy Cardiovascular System
Co Q Carnitine Complex is a heart healthy formula combining two vital
ingredients for the cardiovascular system. Co enzyme Q 10 and L-Carnitine, provide
energy for the heart thus supporting a healthy heart.
Co Q 10 is a powerful, fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance
found naturally in all forms of animal life. It is biosynthesized in the membranes
of cells in humans and is vital in the production of energy. It is a power plant
of the body that is found in most cells, with especially high concentration
in the heart, the organ that requires high levels of energy for normal operation.
The human body functions optimally through the efficient conversion of food
energy. Since CoQ10 has been shown to be an essential substance for the generation
of energy, our bodies have to maintain it at sufficient levels. Current lifestyles
may promote the production of damaging free radicals. CoQ10 functions as an
antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals that damage cellular material.
As a result, CoQ10’s properties help protect the integrity of the cell
wall, making it an indispensable energy provider that assumes an important protective
function for the human body.
The source of the Co Q 10 in Co Q Carntine Complex as well
as all Co Q 10 products from Maxi Health Research is from Kaneka, which is one
of the oldest and most reputable manufacturers of Co Q 10 in Japan.
With a vast variety of this ingredient on the natural market it is important
to note that there are two methods of producing CoQ10: the yeast fermentation
method and the synthetic method. The yeast fermentation method produces natural
CoQ10 that is identical to the human body’s own CoQ10 and is therefore
free of the isomer found in synthetically produced CoQ10. Synthetically produced
CoQ10 is chemically processed using tobacco. It contains cis isomer, a substance
not available naturally. KanekaQ10 is processed 100% from yeast following the
yeast fermentation method.
L-Carnitine, most people don't realize that the heart obtains
70% of its energy from fat breakdown. The fundamental role that L-Carnitine
plays in energy metabolism together with the dependence of the heart on fatty
acid breakdown for energy production, make L-Carnitine a crucial energy provider
for the heart. Scientific evidence has shown that L-Carnitine supplementation
has beneficial effects in maintaining cardiovascular wellness.
Clinical data indicates that L-Carnitine supplementation can positively support
healthy heart muscle, can significantly increase heart muscle viability and
is beneficial in supporting a healthy heartbeat. Other clinical research data
indicate that L-Carnitine supplementation is helpful in maintaining healthy
cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
It is important to bear in mind that the dietary supplement L-Carnitine is
not recommended to treat cardiovascular disease, which requires intervention
by a health professional. However, clinical studies provide evidence that supplementary
L-Carnitine may be beneficial in maintaining a healthy heart.
Carnitine like many biologically active molecules, may exist in two forms:
L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine. The distinction between racemic D,L-Carnitine and
the optically pure L-Carnitine,containing 0% D-Carnitine is important because
only the L-isomer is available from natural sources and is physiologically active.
In fact, the D-form is biologically inactive and because of its potential negative
effects, the FDA has long maintained that D-Carnitine and D,L-Carnitine are
not generally recognized as safe and are therefore illegal food additives.
Due to a unique patented method for the stereo-specific synthesis of pure L-Carnitine,
Lonza is the only manufacturer that can guarantee 100% pure L-Carnitine, completely
free of any harmful D-Carnitine and that is the source of L-Carnitine used in
Maxi Health products.
