Energy and Vitality

Many people like to use supplements to help with low energy. Ginseng has a long established reputation as an energy-boosting herb but the potential health benefits of this most ancient of natural remedies extends far beyond that. People all over the Far East and Eurasia continue to take ginseng as a way of maintaining energy, vitality and good health. Ubiquinone or CoQ10 is essential for the production of energy as well as helping the cardiovascular system.  Many men like to take special care of their health and can have particular concerns about certain issues. For example, they may become concerned as they get older, about sexual performance. Fortunately, good dietary supplements can play a helpful part in maintaining good reproductive and prostate health for many men, beneficial herbs include Damiana and Muira Puama.

Co Q10 100mg Gold 30caps £15.99 150caps £ 70.00 WEB OFFER   normally £75.95
Co Q10    30mg 30caps     £6.99 150caps £28.45

The cells natural catalyst for energy release from food.   

Co-enzyme Q10 is found naturally occuring in the mitochondria of every cell in the body.  It is essential for the body's production of energy and is a powerful antioxidant. As we get older the liver's ability to make co-enzyme Q10 from precursors in our diet gradually declines. Co-enzyme Q10 may help to maintain a healthy functioning heart and healthy gums. If you are on Statins you should be taking CoQ10. The CoQ10-lowering effect of statins is very well documented.  CoQ10-deficiency states are described and are associated with many diseases, primarily cardiovascular. A large number of clinical trials demonstrate this relationship and also the effectiveness of CoQ10 therapy. We create a self-defeating dilemma-attempt to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with statins and, at the same time, partially negate this effort by lowering the CoQ10 level-essential for optimal cellular function. We can address this by supplementation with CoQ10.

Ribose (a 5-carbon sugar) a critical part of ATP production is essential for cellular regeneration and cellular energy and can be deficient for many reasons.

It has numerous studies and the benefits of supplementation include:

- Speeds Energy Recovery (after sports, ME, Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia, etc.)
- Increases energy reserves (stress and overwork)
- Builds ATP in heart and muscle (angina etc)
- Maintains Energy levels in heart and muscle (heart failure)
- Supports healthy lung function
- Relieves post-exertional muscle cramping and soreness from excessive sporting training and participation.

Biochemical processes involved in producing energy from

 http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/article.cfm?id=381  (M.E. specialist)

"The following cycle illustrates what happens inside each cell:

ATP (3 phosphates) is converted to ADP (2 phosphates) with the release of energy for work. ADP passes into the mitochondria where ATP is remade by oxidative phosphorylation (i.e. a phosphate group is stuck on). ATP recycles approximately every 10 seconds in a healthy person - if this goes slow, then the cell goes slow and so the person goes slow and clinically has poor stamina, i.e. CFS.

Problems arise when the system is stressed. If the CFS sufferer spends energy faster than the mitochondria can supply it, (and actually most CFS sufferers are doing this most of the time!) ATP is converted to ADP faster than it can be recycled. This means there is a build up of ADP. Some ADP is inevitably shunted into adenosine monophosphate (AMP -1 phosphate). But this creates a real problem, indeed a metabolic disaster, because AMP, largely speaking, cannot be recycled and is lost in urine.

If ATP levels drop as a result of leakage of AMP, the body then has to make brand new ATP. ATP can be made very quickly from a sugar D-ribose, but D-ribose is only slowly made from glucose (via the pentose phosphate shunt for those clever biochemists out there!). This takes anything from one to four days. So this is the biological basis for delayed fatigue.

However, there is another problem when a person tries to push him/herself. If the body is very short of ATP, it can make a very small amount of ATP directly from glucose by converting it into lactic acid. This is exactly what many CFS sufferers do and indeed, we know that CFS sufferers readily switch into anaerobic metabolism. However, this results in two serious problems - lactic acid quickly builds up, especially in muscles, to cause pain, heaviness, aching and soreness ("lactic acid burn"), secondly, no glucose is available in order to make D-ribose! So new ATP cannot be easily made when you are really run down. Recovery takes days! These processes constitute the biological basis of treatment for CFS. "

This supplement also contains malic acid which is thought to be helpful in regulating the Krebs Energy cycle and has been trialled on fibromyalgia patients.

Directions:
Can be taken with food, water or even hot drinks.
- For general support, take 1 scoop with breakfast and 1 with evening meal.
- In therapeutic cases or when a high demand is on the body a third and forth scoop should be taken at other times of the day.
