Dear Health Conscious Reader,
If you’re a regular reader of mine, you know that I rarely recommend taking supplements when you can get nutrients from your food.
But there’s one supplement I tell everybody about, and take myself every day.
It’s Coenzyme Q10.
CoQ10 has so many benefits; it’s surprising that foods aren’t fortified with it.
Research indicates a whole new spectrum of CoQ10 benefits, such as:
- Blood Sugar: An Australian study showed people who took CoQ10 were able to maintain healthy blood sugar levels that were already within the normal range.1
- Vision and Eye Health: A recent clinical trial showed adults who supplemented with a combination of CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids for one year improved their visual function.2
- Healthy Breathing: Researchers in Texas found a correlation between CoQ10 levels and respiratory health.3
- Gum Health: CoQ10 helps improve gum health and also supports tissue health.4
But CoQ10 really shines when it comes to heart power.
It takes huge amounts of energy for your heart to send its life-giving power out to every part of your body.
But there’s a problem…
As you age, your heart’s muscle power may slow by up to 5 percent every year.5
That means that in 10 years, your heart could slow down by as much as 50 percent.
But, if you maintain healthy levels of CoQ10 in your cells, you can help support your heart in providing all the power you need every day.
Just a small increase in your heart’s power can make a difference in your overall health.
The Key to Supporting Your Heart
When CoQ10 research began decades ago, this form of CoQ10 didn’t exist. Back then, CoQ10 was only available in an oxidized form that wasn’t nearly as effective.
That’s because people had a hard time absorbing and using CoQ10 as a supplement. It took large doses of CoQ10 – as much as 450 mg – to increase its level in the blood. And even with that dosage, the blood levels were slight.
You see, one key to supporting the overall health of your heart is to also keep the blood level of CoQ10 consistently high.
I remember when I recommended taking between 400 mg and 900 mg of the old, weak CoQ10 every 8 hours to my patients to keep blood levels high enough. That worked, but it was a very expensive option. They could easily go through a couple of bottles every three to four days.
It wasn’t until this new, reduced form was discovered that CoQ10 began to have a positive effect. It’s in its most bio-available reduced form, which makes it that much easier to absorb and helps your blood levels stay higher, longer.
And with this new CoQ10 technology, most people can get all the heart-supporting power they need by taking it just once a day.
An Improved Form of CoQ10 that Works Miracles
As I mentioned before, your ability to convert CoQ10 to its usable form starts to drop off as you age.
But the new CoQ10 gives you up to 8 times higher absorption. And keeps your blood levels higher over an extended period of time.
In one study, using mice, the new CoQ10 was present in the blood at a 3.75-fold greater concentration after 8 hours. (A blood level of 4.5 mcg/ml after 8 hours of taking 100 mg.)6
So after 8 hours, the level of the reduced form of CoQ10 was almost 400 percent higher than the old kind of CoQ10. That’s a big difference!
Your heart uses a HUGE amount of energy. So it goes without saying your heart needs a HUGE amount of CoQ10. When the cells in your heart get enough CoQ10, it can help them stay young.
And that gives you the ability to stay strong, mobile and full of energy.
The Power of Youth into Old Age
So after decades of research, we now have a concentrated nutrient that helps power up your entire body and keeps it going far longer than you ever imagined possible.
That’s why I created an improved form of CoQ10. I take it every day. It’s called Accel. And it’s the one nutrient I plan to take indefinitely.
Because I always take it myself, I took the liberty of combining it with another nutrient I don’t want to go without. It’s a little-known form of vitamin E called tocotrienols. You won’t find this kind of vitamin E in just any multi-vitamin. It’s specifically geared toward boosting heart health and it’s backed by some rock-solid evidence.
Tocotrienols help maintain healthy:
- Blood pressure (systolic or top number)7
- Arteries8,9
- Cholesterol10
- Blood sugar11
- Triglycerides or blood fat6
Accel is a combination of CoQ10 with a form of Vitamin E, and it creates a nutrient powerhouse. The two work together, giving you the highest level of energy and protection.
Take just one tablet per day and, like me, you could be jumping out of bed every morning with a bright, optimistic view of life.
I recommend Accel to everyone. I give it to my family, my staff, my friends and colleagues. I believe in it so strongly because I’ve seen it work.
I want you to enjoy youthful strength and vitality for the rest of your days.
