CoQ10 Boosted with Grapefruit Juice



September 3, 2010 - Saporo, Japan - Grapefruit juice improved intestinal absorption of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) by about 50 per cent, says Japanese researchers in a study.
The juice inhibits a protein in the membrane of cells called P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which thereby leads to an increased absorption of CoQ10, according to results of a laboratory study published in Food Chemistry. “We have demonstrated that a higher cellular uptake of CoQ10 was achieved in the presence of grapefruit juice,” wrote the Japanese researchers, led by Ken Iseki from Hokkaido University.

“The Antioxidant Miracle”
by Dr. Lester Packer PH.D. , Carol Coleman

According to Packer, five antioxidants "network" in our bodies with "special powers" that slow aging and fight disease: Vitamins C and E, glutathione, lipoic acid, and Coenzyme Q10. The first two are obtained through food, the others are produced by the body, but these levels decline as we age, so we need to supplement. Packer describes the benefits and actions of these special antioxidants and also recommends flavonoids such as ginkgo biloba and pycnogenol (made from the bark of pine trees), a number of carotenoids, selenium, and a variety of foods high in antioxidants. He spells out exactly what supplements you need and how much, with special modifications for smokers, diabetics, menopausal women, athletes, and people at high risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease.

"How To Eliminate, Prevent & Reverse The Way Our Body Ages & Dies"

Basic nutrition is often thought of in terms of Carbohydrates, Fats and Proteins. There is another important layer of nutrients from foods, that our body requires to keep us well called “Welltrients”.

These “Welltrients” include amino acids, minerals, EFA’s, vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes and more. There are at least 200 of these critical welltrients. Each provide a key nutrient required by our cells; to balance the body’s pH, provide cellular nourishment, eliminate, prevent and reverse the way our body ages, gets sick, and dies.

Vitamin D Controls T Cell Antigen Receptor Signaling and Activation of T Cells
March 31, 2010 Researchers discover that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of vitamin D, our immune system T cells (the killer cells), will not react to or fight off infections in the body.
The researchers at the University of Copenhagen found that the T cells rely on vitamin D to become activate else they remain dormant, 'naive' to the possibility of threat if vitamin D is deficient in the blood. Continued...

Acetyl-l-Carnitine
Carnitine is important in the efficient metabolism of fats and the acceleration of the oxidation of fat. Carnitine's major role in fatty acid transfer (energy burning) across the mitochondria membrane of cells, and therefore, is a great weight control nutrient. Carnitine is important in mobilizing fatty tissue deposits and removal of ketones, which are a waste by-product of fat metabolism. Provides energy to muscles; believed to increase tolerance during aerobics and other physical activities. Carnitine is mandatory for the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta oxidation. Ketogenesis in the liver and kidneys is dependent upon carnitine. A deficiency in carnitine can result in an inability to lose weight. Carnitine plays a key role in the mitochondral transport of acetyl Coenzyme A from inside the mitochondria to the cytoplasm.

Acetyl-L-carnitine and Alpha Lipoic Acid Improved Learning
July 31, 2007 Dogs between ages seven and almost nine years were given supplements of alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-L carnitine twice daily over approximately two months. The animals given the supplements were noted to have significantly fewer errors in reaching learning criteria on two or more discrimination tasks compared to controlled administered placebo. Authors indicated the long term supplementation of alpha lipoic acid and acetyl-L carnitine may be effective in attenuating age-associated poor cognitive health by slowing the rate of mitochondrial decay and cellular aging.
In an animal study published July 2007 in the journal FASEB. The authors suggest that long-term maintenance on acetyl-L carnitine and alpha lipoic acid may be effective in attenuating age-associated cognitive decline by slowing the rate of mitochondrial decay and cellular aging. Continued...
