Cardiovascular Optimun Health

CoQ10, Vitamin E and Proflavonol play an essential role in maintaining optimum health for the cardiovascular system.

The main nutrients for healthy heart support are:

• CoQ10:  Cells with the highest energy demands , such as the heart contain the highest concentration of CoQ10. Unfortunately as we age, the ability to absorb and synthesis CoQ10 diminishes and the amount of CoQ10 retained in tissues decreases. In addition CoQ10 maybe depleted by several other factors, including overall nutritional status, CoQ10 maybe lowered by some drugs, including cholestrol-lowering statins, and excessive exercise or enviormental stresses such as illness and extreme weather.

So if we are not getting enough CoQ10 then we need to take a high quality supplement such as CoQuinone from Usana.

Usana's CoQuinone has 30mg of CoQ10 and 12.5mg of alpha lipoic acid per soft gel capsule.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is instumental in recycling CoQ10 when it is oxidized in the muscle as well as Vitamin C and E along with Glutathione. These three other antioxidants are very important for over all health of the heart.

• Vitamin E: This is one of the most powerful antioxidants playing a critical role in the body in protecting LDH and cell membranes from being oxidized. Vitamin E is important for supporting good cardiovascular health and immunity support especially in the elderly.

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient - one that the body cannot manufacture so we need to get it from outside sources. However it maybe difficult to ingest enough Vitamin E from food alone so that is why we recommend you take a high quality vitamin E supplement.

Usana's vitamin E, E-Prime, is a premier vitamin E product on the market with the natural form (d-alpha-tocopherol) unlike other commercial brands that use the synthetic petroleum based alternative which is cheaper.

• Proflavonol: An antioxidant formulated from grapeseed extract and vitamin C is important in protecting LDH from oxidizing thus improving healthy vascular functions.  

We recommend you to take the following for optimum HEART health:

• CoQuinone ( CoQ10 )
• E-Prime
• Proflavonol
