CoEnzyme Q10

STRENGTH: 100 mg

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ-10) or ubiquinone is essentially a vitamin-like substance. Although there is some confusion regarding this nomenclature, this essential nutritional constituent is involved in the electron transport system at the cellular level in the respiratory chain to help produce energy in the body. Coenzyme Q10 works its magic in the mitochondria in the cells of muscle tissue, and of course this includes the heart. Coenzyme Q10 is well known for, and has been shown to be, an antioxidant of the highest caliber. And as you may well expect Coenzyme Q10 performs multiple roles in the body, including having a regulatory role on succinyl and NADH dehydrogenases (energy). It is also needed for the synthesis of prostaglandins (of which there are good and not so good) and protects cells from lipid peroxidation in the aging process. Coenzyme Q10 is a very lipophilic (loves fat) compound and is practically insoluble in water due to its structure.

The most important application for Coenzyme Q10 and what it is used for the most these days is in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease and related disorders that involve the heart. The most recent studies suggest that Coenzyme Q10 can reduce the frequency of angina episodes while strengthening the heart muscle; it can also increase the quality of life and survivability in those with congestive heart failure. Those that are in a compromised state, are in the most need of a bioavailable form of Coenzyme Q10 for it to be effective. When the body is in a state of decay or is traumatized in any way, nutrient absorption and utilization is compromised so the body has trouble fighting back. This nutrient’s uses are so well documented and accepted, that doctors are now using Coenzyme Q10 to treat many different types of pathologies ranging from AIDS to Parkinson’s disease. Coenzyme Q10 is even being used to treat breast cancer and support the health of those who are receiving chemotherapy. Coenzyme Q10 has also been shown to be of potential benefit to diabetics because of its ability to enhance insulin production. Coenzyme Q10 has also been used with favorable results to treat symptoms of muscular dystrophy and those with gum disease, both of which can be linked to Coenzyme Q10 deficiencies. It is important to note that Coenzyme Q10 can also protect against the side effects of certain drugs and anti-psychotics such as biguanides, clonidine, gemfibrozil, methyldopa, haloperidol and other tetracyclic antidepressants.

Coenzyme Q10 is found naturally in foods, but is to some degree synthesized in the body. In the body the biosynthesis of Coenzyme Q10 from the amino acid tyrosine is a multistage process requiring at least eight vitamins and several trace elements. This is one main reason why most people don’t get enough in their diet, because it is so complicated to make…and most people’s diets aren’t that great to begin with. Another reason is that most of the supplemental Coenzyme Q10 products being sold on the market today are sold in their ‘dry’ form and are not as bioavailable as you would want it to be. So to solve this issue it is best to, when consuming Coenzyme Q10 orally, take it with a meal that contains fat or in supplemental soft gel format mixed in oil. Research has shown that this form of delivery system is far superior to the dry two piece hard gel. When taken mixed in the oil format it is absorbed into the lymphatic system (where most fats are taken in) and distributed to cells throughout the body.

For it to be most effective, Coenzyme Q10 supplements should be taken with vitamin E, which helps preserve it and is also used to process it as an antioxidant. Vitamin E of course has a long standing reputation as a powerful antioxidant in its own right. It has been added to this formula due to its functional capacity in making this product more effective. Our CoQ 10 is offered in an oil base with vitamin E added to enhance its assimilation into the bloodstream.

To date, the medical literature has not reported any adverse effects specifically related to the use of this dietary supplement in adults, children or fetal development during pregnancy or to infants who are breast-fed. Overall there are no known toxicities associated with this dietary supplement.†

MegaForce Women Multivitamin tablets

Vitamin and mineral products are more important than ever in today’s fast paced world. Not only are we moving at the speed of light, but along the way we are exposed to a myriad of toxic waste that has become a part of our everyday modern lives!

Good nutrition helps to protect us from the environment and aging, if all MegaForce Women's Essential Multivitamins - Supplement Facts

MegaForce Women's Essential Multivitamins - Supplement Facts

the nutrient co-factors are ‘in play’. Can we get all the nutrients that we need from food? Well, it is just a plain hard fact that food just isn’t what it used to be 100 years, or even 50 years ago. The plants that many foods are derived from are grown in other countries where they are stored for months at a time, and lose nutrient content through oxidation. And here in the U.S. it has become commonplace to grow foods in nutrient depleted fields year after year. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of studies that show that the decrease in nutrient content in our over all diet is causing sub clinical disease states that doctors find hard to deal with and treat. However, major medical institutions like the Mayo Clinic and the main stream medical Journals are now finally seeing that there is scientific evidence that shows taking a good multi vitamin and mineral product helps to control some of the medical problems that they have found did not respond other types of treatment.

It is a well known fact that vitamins and minerals in the right amounts are needed for a variety of biologic processes that include, but are not limited to growth, digestion, mental alertness and resistance to infection. Specific nutrients enable your body to use carbohydrates, fats and proteins because they act like catalysts that initiate or speed up chemical reactions through out the body. So, if you happen to be depleted in certain nutrients that are needed to increase everything from energy levels to brain function all you have to do is take them, and you will feel a difference!

It has long been know that women have nutritional needs that are different from that of men. There are specific events in a woman’s life that will require her to have certain types of nutrients in her diet that will assist in the process maintaining her health. Nutrients such as vitamin E help the body to produce hormones that are needed to maintain a healthy cycle, and promote healthy communication between cells. The B vitamins help to maintain energy levels by helping the body to utilize the nutrients that are found in food. Iron and Calcium are very important in maintaining bone health and the body’s ability to carry oxygen. These two nutrients alone comprise some of the most talked about ones that are an absolute necessity in any woman’s dietary regimen! MegaForce Essential Multivitamins for Women contains the nutrients that are known to help any woman deal with the stress of their daily routine, and stay healthy long into their retirement years! †

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is generally known as the mother of all hormones. It is mostly produced by the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys. DHEA is an amazing steroid; it has the capacity to become any number of other intermediates and full fledged hormones that the body needs whether you are male or female. DHEA rules many of the other organ systems in the body through its hormonal production, and has protective capabilities.

Unfortunately, as we age the production of this steroid decreases, by age 80 we make as little as 5% of the amount we used to make at age 20. Because of this natural occurrence, DHEA can be used by doctors as a determinant for health and is said to be one of the best biochemical bio-markers for chronologic age. DHEA may even have an effect on brain function in that it may be intimately involved in protecting brain neurons from senility-associated degenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. Not only do neuronal degenerative conditions occur most frequently when DHEA levels are lowest, but brain tissue contains many times more DHEA than is found in the bloodstream. DHEA has even been reported to counteract the thymic destruction due to aging and immuno-suppression caused by corticosteroids. DHEA's effect on the immune system may also have a direct effect on the body's ability to protect itself against diseases such as cancer, and other immuno deficient diseases. Early reports from England [Bulbrook, 1962, 1971] suggested that DHEA was abnormally low in women who developed breast cancer, many years before the diagnosis of the disease. Of the 5000 women followed in the study, 27 developed cancer. Most of the 27 had abnormally low levels of DHEA.

DHEA may have a systemic buffering capacity in that it can help to buffer the system against sudden changes in acidity or alkalinity. That's why when you get older; you're much more vulnerable to the effects of stress, which can make you very acidic. As DHEA declines with age, you are losing the buffer against the stress-related hormones. It's DHEA's buffering action that may help prevent us from aging.

Recently DHEA has been found to be highly significant in preventing vertebral bone density loss in postmenopausal women, suggesting that DHEA may help protect against osteoporosis. It has long been known that androgenic hormones such as those found in men keep bone density thick and helps to prevent bone mass loss. DHEA helps to maintain balance in this, and almost every other respect for both men and women.

So you can see that DHEA is very important as a protective agent as we age. According to the research taking DHEA may just be one of the keys to the fountain of youth! †

HGH - Human Growth Hormone Supplement Facts

So what is HGH? Well, it’s a hormone; and hormones are chemical messengers that help our body perform different functions that relate to our health and well being. The HGH hormone is basically made up of 191 amino acids which are parts of proteins. These hormones are made in a number of different endocrine glands throughout the body. After they are manufactured, they are released into the blood stream to do their work in the body to stimulate certain systemic activities. To use an example, insulin is a hormone that helps our body utilize digested foods at the cellular level after our blood sugar becomes elevated.

HGH helps to promote the restoration of our physiology to what it had been years earlier. It stimulates an increase in the body's production of protein that is needed in the formation of collagen and elastin, two of the main substances that make up the skin and other tissues. HGH also promotes increased muscle growth that along with the renewed collagen and elastin helps to rebuild and reconfigure the substructure in all the connective tissue in the body. HGH is one of the more abundant hormones the body produces (at least when you are young); it is made in the pituitary gland which is located in the brain. A few of the systems that HGH acts on include over all bodily growth, reproduction and sexual functions. This tremendous wonder of nature it produced at its peak when we are in our teens. At 20 years old we produce an average 500 micrograms/day, at 40 years old we average 200 micrograms/day and at 80 years old we average 25 micrograms/day. So you can see that aging has a tremendous impact on the depletion of this hormone. Age isn’t the only factor that depletes this hormone, poor dietary habits, and stress as well as over working can cause further systemic imbalances. Taking a product that elevates HGH, and then having sufficient amounts of HGH in the system can have tremendous health benefits. These benefits include helping in the conversion of body fat to use as energy, it can increase the growth of all tissues, it can increase energy levels, increase sexual appetite, enhance the integrity of hair, nails, skin and vital organs, increase tissue repair and more! Sounds like the fountain of youth, doesn’t it?

So how do we slow the aging process down, and the loss of this precious life enhancing chemical? Well, the answer is simple: supplements, diet and decreased stress levels! It has been proven that by ingesting certain nutrients, the body is provided with what it needs to do its job. It makes sense to take a product like a HGH enhancer to ensure that you have the edge on Father Time. Taking an HGH enhancing product will give you the added foundation to deal with ‘life’, especially when you are put in stressful situations, or are nutrient depleted.

At the molecular level HGH extends the number of times a cell may divide. This effect extends through out the body, potentially reversing the systemic damage of time and poor lifestyle choices. As HGH stimulates the body to generate more of these basic building materials, it begins to fill in wrinkles and helps to rebuild muscle, because only HGH uses the body's own chemistry to make you feel young again from within. Obviously, since it has taken years for the body to breakdown, it will not be ‘remade’ overnight. Usually because it is effecting a rebuilding of our anabolic chemistry, it will take some time for the effects to take hold. HGH works in a broad fashion inside the body, on several fronts at once. One very important function of HGH is that it increases the efficiency of the cells in the body to function as stated. There are places on the cells, called receptor sites where hormones attach to stimulate a particular hormonal activity. By making these receptor sites more "receptive", HGH improves the efficacy of other hormones in achieving their intended results. And when the body’s ability to function at a higher level is made a reality, the body starts to work like a well oiled machine!

Increasing the amount of HGH the body makes demonstrates that all hormones work synergistically with each other. If DHEA, melatonin, testosterone and estrogen are all at their optimal levels, they can stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and secrete a greater amount of HGH, restoring it to a more optimal level. The interdependency of all the hormones shows that if you take care of yourself starting with your overall diet and by taking the right supplements, it will allow the body to take care of itself. Now that’s the real fountain of youth! †
