CO-Q-10 PLUS™ High-Potency Co-Enzyme Q-10 Plus Quercetin and Lecithin Supports the Heart and Circulatory System

Why Use CO-Q-10 PLUS? Up until recently, no one heard much about coenzyme Q-10, but that does not diminish its importance to your body. CO-Q-10 PLUS is specially formulated to help you maintain proper coenzyme Q-10 levels in your body. Coenzyme Q-10 is an important naturally-occurring antioxidant that is necessary for cellular energy production. The more energy you burn, the more coenzyme Q-10 your body needs from your diet. In addition to being an important antioxidant, it is also critical to maintaining a healthy cardiac system, supporting healthy gums, and is an integral part of your immune system. Some studies indicate that it may assist in helping you control your weight. Although our bodies naturally produce coenzyme Q-10, as we age we need to obtain more and more of our coenzyme Q-10 from our diets. In order to ensure that you have sufficient coenzyme Q-10 in your daily diet, include CO-Q-10 PLUS as part of your regular nutritional supplementation routine.

Each CO-Q-10 PLUS Tablet Supplies: Co-Enzyme Q-10 50 mg Lecithin 50 mg Lemon Bioflavonoids 25 mg (whole fruit powder) Quercetin 5 mg (% daily value for each of the above not established)

WHAT IS CO-Q-10 PLUS?

Co-Q-10 Plus contains the valuable antioxidant coenzyme Q10 as well as quercetin and lecithin. This is all combined in Life Plus’ proprietary PhytoZyme™ base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural ingredients including special herbs, phytonutrient cofactors from fruits and vegetables, and plant enzymes to bring you one of the finest co-enzyme Q10 supplements on the market today.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Co-Enzyme Q-10 is an integral part of the immune cycle. When body levels of it are raised, the immune system can receive more help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs. However, antibiotics do not help to rebuild the immune system. On the other hand, CO-Q-10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wider range of beneficial and protective effects.

This vitamin like substance is found primarily in the heart muscle. Like all muscles, the heart muscle needs adequate energy to contract, and CO-Q-10 facilitates the production of that energy. In people with coronary heart disease, supplementation reduces the frequency of anginal episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that a person can perform before developing anginal pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of Co-Enzyme Q-10 are those that require the most energy, such as the heart. Our internal ability to produce CO-Q-10 declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more on CO-Q-10 from our diets. In tests on thousands of people, no toxicity has ever been shown, no matter how high the amount that is taken.

CO-Q-10 AND ENERGY

Co-Enzyme Q-10 is known as CO-Q-10 and also ubiquinone. It is a member of the quinone cyclic compounds that may be considered a relative of some potent anti-cancer drugs. CO-Q-10 can add or remove oxygen from biologically active molecules. Every cell of the body contains many subcellular components called mitochondria, which produce 95% of the total energy of the body. CO-Q-10 is an integral part of the membranes of the mitochondria where it is involved in the production of ATP, the basic energy producing molecule of cells.

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND AGING

When immunity is low, so are the reserves of CO-Q-10. When body levels of CO-Q-10 are raised, so is the immune potential. AIDS victims and other people with depressed immune systems can receive some help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs, but they will not rebuild the immune system. Mice have been shown to have a 50% extended life span by supplementing with CO-Q-10. Co-Enzyme Q-10 acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against free radical damage and exerting a protective effect on cell membranes. CO-Q-10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wide range of beneficial and protective effects.

THE HEART AND BLOOD PRESSURE

Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of CO-Q-10. Angina is a condition where inadequate oxygen is available to the heart muscle itself. People with failing cardiac systems have shown to greatly benefit with increased strength and vigor when supplemented with CO-Q-10. People with high blood pressure usually have lower levels of CO-Q-10.

It has been shown at the University of Texas and the University of Antwerp, Belgium that obese people can lose weight simply with the addition of CO-Q-10 to the diet. This research showed that obese people can have as much as a 50% deficiency of Co-Enzyme Q-10 in their tissues. People who eat a lot and yet stay slim have significantly higher levels of CO-Q-10 in their blood. This wonderful enzyme can increase metabolic fuel efficiency within your cells - stimulating natural weight loss.

PERIODONTAL HEALTH

Co-Enzyme Q-10 exerts its protective and strengthening action in all tissues. Working from the cellular level, it strengthens the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists believe that periodontal (gum) disease is a good indicator of low levels of CO-Q-10 in other tissues. The American Dental Association states that at least 87% of the American population has some sort of gum disease. This has been shown to be somewhat related to nutrition and particularly to levels of CO-Q-10, which has been shown to have a good protective effect for gum tissue.

THE CO-Q-10 FAMILY

There are at least ten common CO-Q's, that is, different sized molecules from CO-Q-1 to CO-Q-10. The liver can utilize other CO-Q's to make CO-Q-10. If the liver is not functioning efficiently, body levels can be too low, especially with advancing age or if disease is present. Our internal ability to produce CO-Q-10 declines with age, and as we get older, we must rely more on our diet.

IS CO-Q-10 SAFE?

In tests of thousands of people, no toxicity has ever been shown, no matter how high the amount. Plants and animals get it from the soil, but we get it from the plants and animals that contain various CO-Q's.

PHYTOZYME BASE

CO-Q-10 PLUS is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from plants. When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.

ADDITIONAL LIFESTYLE OPTIONS TO ENSURE HEALTH

Plants and animals get coenzyme Q10 from the soil and we obtain it from them. Our liver produces it from the other coenzymes (1 through 10) that exist. Therefore, we need to have a balanced diet and support our liver, so that it can produce adequate amounts of coenzyme Q10. To ensure that you maintain adequate amounts, you may want to supplement with Co-Q-10 Plus. Another Life Plus product that enhances the nutritional value of Co-Q-10 Plus is PROANTHENOLS, which provides additional antioxidant support to enhance cellular protection against free radicals.

HOW TO TAKE CO-Q-10 PLUS

There is no definite amount determined, but remember that more is needed as more energy is required. This is especially so if extra nutritional support is needed for the immune system, heart, weight loss or protection against certain health problems. Life Plus CO-Q-10 PLUS tablets are packaged in bottles of 60. One to three tablets are recommended one to three times daily.
