COQHEALTH PLUS
Everyone understands the importance of a healthy heart, but maintaining one can prove difficult. Cardiovascular health can be compromised by diet, genetics, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and an array of other factors. Moreover, our bodies are often deficient in substances critical to healthy heart function. One example is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which helps produce energy in each cell, particularl...y those in the heart and other major organs. Since it has powerful antioxidant properties, it helps prevent LDL cholesterol oxidation.*
CoQHeart
Although the human body can synthesize CoQ10, in some situations the body’s capacity to produce CoQ10 isn’t sufficient to meet its needs. CoQ10 levels reach their peak in the human body by age 20 and fall slowly hereafter.
In fact, 60% of the population has CoQ10 deficiency in their 50s and 60s. In addition, certain medications can reduce the body’s production of CoQ10. Supplements can help, but since most supplemental CoQ10 is poorly absorbed by the body, a supplement must be highly bioavailable to be effective.
COQHEART
CoQHeart combines two natural substances with potent antioxidant properties — CoQ10 and resveratrol — in a single, highly bioavailable softgel capsule using a technology exclusive to Shaklee.
◦Combines the power of CoQ10 with resveratrol to promote heart health*
◦Prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol*
◦Provides energy at the cellular level*
◦Helps keep blood flowing freely through the arteries*
◦Highly bioavailable formulation
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM COQHEART?
◦All adult men and women concerned about heart health
◦Postmenopausal women who want to maintain a healthy heart
◦Those on certain medications that reduce CoQ10 production by the body
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF THE INGREDIENTS IN COQHEART
Coenzyme Q10, also called CoQ10, is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell in the human body. Vital to heart health, CoQ10 promotes energy production at the cellular level; it’s most evident in the heart, the most active organ in the body. The beating heart and electrical conduction of the nervous system need a continuous flow of energy that is dependent on adequate levels of CoQ10 in the cells.*
CoQ10 has antioxidant properties, protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidation, thereby helping to maintain vascular tone and integrity. CoQ10 has the ability to recycle and regenerate vitamin E, allowing it to continue providing antioxidant protection to cells of the body.* An estimated 60% of the population has CoQ10 deficiency in the fifth and sixth decades of life.
Clinical studies have shown dietary supplementation with CoQ10 increases the concentrations in both blood and LDL molecules.1 This increase is important for protecting LDL cholesterol from oxidation.*
A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that supplemental CoQ10, given daily for four weeks, significantly lowered the rate of LDL cholesterol oxidation.*2
Some of the strongest evidence for the cardiovascular benefits of CoQ10 supplementation is found in eight clinical studies in which researchers concluded that CoQ10 promotes the heart’s ability to pump blood.*3
Resveratrol, a phenolic compound derived from the roots of the Chinese herb Polygonum cuspidatum and also found in red wine, also possesses potent antioxidant properties; it complements the action of CoQ10. Researchers first demonstrated these antioxidant properties during laboratory studies in which resveratrol was added to human LDL cholesterol. One such study found that resveratrol inhibited LDL oxidation by 70–80%.4 Resveratrol may also help blood vessels relax and dilate, both important functions
for optimizing blood flow.*
WHY CHOOSE COQHEART?
◦The high bioavailability of Shaklee CoQHeart means you take less but get more.
◦Its formulation — exclusive to Shaklee — uses all–natural ingredients.
◦CoQHeart combines CoQ10 with resveratrol, which contains strong antioxidant properties proven to help prevent LDL oxidation and facilitate blood flow.*
