CARNI-Q-GEL®
with Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin EPatented Carnitine-CoQ10
Formula for Cellular Energy and Heart Health
CARNI-Q-GEL® with Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin E is a
powerful cellular energizer containing a patented combination
of L-Carnitine Fumarate with Q-GEL® (Coenzyme Q10). Q
Gel® (Hydrosoluble™) is manufactured by the patented
Bio-Solv® process, which guarantees 100% dissolution and
maximum relative bioavailability of Coenzyme Q10.Two softgels
of CARNI-Q-GEL® supply:
L-Carnitine Fumarate – 150 mg (U.S. Patent No.
4602039)
L-Carnitine is a vitamin-like compound which has the unique
ability to transport long-chain fatty acids into energy producing
units within cells called mitochondria so that fat can be
“burned” and used to produce energy. The energy
which L-Carnitine unleashes through its action at the cellular
level in our body, allows us to maximize our ability to achieve
optimal health, and experience an overall feeling of well-being.
L-Carnitine is made in only small amounts by the body, and
not found in sufficient quantities in most people’s
diets unless they consume large amounts of red meat, which
is the best source of this essential nutrient. L-Carnitine
supplementation is therefore recommended by health professionals
for a wide variety of conditions associated with impaired
fat utilization and energy production, as well as in healthy
individuals for the purpose of “fat” weight loss,
or for enhancing exercise tolerance and physical performance.
Significant health benefits in relation to the cardiovascular
system have been observed with L-Carnitine supplementation.
Normal (healthy) heart function requires an adequate supply
of Carnitine. Due to improved use of fat and improved energy
production, Carnitine helps prevent the build-up of toxic
fatty acid metabolites, which can adversely affect cellular
function. As we age, levels of Carnitine in the body may decline,
making supplementation with this heart-healthy nutrient vital
for optimal heart performance.
CARNI-Q-GEL®
contains a stable, highly bioavailable, and patented form
of L-Carnitine (L-Carnitine Fumarate).Coenzyme Q-10 (Hydrosoluble™)
(U.S. Patent No. 6, 056, 971) – 10 mg
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like powerful antioxidant substance
naturally found in every cell in our body. It is necessary
for the production of vital cellular energy, which is essential
for every single process of life. Low levels of Coenzyme Q10
have been reported in scientific literature for a wide spectrum
of heart and vascular conditions. Research studies indicate
that Coenzyme Q10 supplements can be useful in maintaining
a healthy cardiovascular system and other functions in the
body as well.
Coenzyme Q10 supplementation becomes necessary (especially
for heart health) as we age because Coenzyme Q10 levels in
our body begin to decline between the second and third decade
of life, and the tissue most sensitive to low levels of this
nutrient, is the heart. The heart contains ten times more
Coenzyme Q10 than any other organ in the body. The most metabolically
active organ in our body, the heart requires a tremendous
amount of continuous energy to beat at approximately 72 beats
a minute, 24 hours a day, for as long as you live (2.5 billion
beats by age 65!), and depends on Coenzyme Q10 to ensure adequate
energy supply.
When it is so difficult to get enough Coenzyme Q10 from ordinary
foods and most foods do not deliver adequate amounts of the
vitamins and minerals (Folic acid, Vitamins C, B12, B6 and
Trace Minerals) necessary for our body to synthesize this
nutrient, CoQ10 supplementation becomes a must if heart health
is to be maintained. The advantages of the superior form of
Coenzyme Q10 contained in CARNI-Q-GEL® are numerous if
your goal is to maintain a healthy heart, healthy blood pressure
and healthy cholesterol levels. Manufactured by the Bio-Solv®
process, Q-Gel® provides 300%+ higher blood levels of
Coenzyme Q10 than conventional dosage forms because it is
more easily absorbed by the body. In fact, it is impossible
to achieve the same blood levels of Coenzyme Q10 with conventional
supplements.
The Coenzyme Q10 in CARNI-Q-GEL® is in its active antioxidant
form (patent pending). No other Coenzyme Q10 supplement can
claim this. With Q-Gel®, you can take lower dosages and
fewer pills, therefore reducing the cost of supplementation,
and it is the dosage form preferred and recommended by leading
physicians and cardiologists.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (Hydrosoluble™) – 50 mg
This unique sulfur-containing molecule is often referred to
as the master antioxidant. Unlike Vitamin E (fat-soluble),
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is both water- and fat- soluble and therefore
is effective against a broader range of free radicals.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid helps regenerate Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and
Coenzyme Q10 back to their active antioxidant forms. Alpha-Lipoic
Acid has also been shown to increase Glutathione levels. This
special antioxidant nutrient may help improve energy metabolism
and facilitate conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
into energy.
CARNI-Q-GEL® contains Hydrosoluble™ Alpha-Lipoic
Acid for easier absorption and enhanced bioavailabilty.Vitamin
E (D-Alpha Tocopherol, Mixed Tocopherols and Tocotrienols)
– 30 IU
The efficacy of Vitamin E in promoting cardiovascular health
can be attributed to its antioxidant properties. Research
shows that antioxidants probably promote cardiovascular health
by shielding LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”)
from free radical damage, which is often the first step on
the road to plaque-clogged arteries.
Tocotrienols are a group of Vitamin E compounds with superior
antioxidant power but relatively little biological activity
of Vitamin E. Tocotrienols have the ability to regenerate
other antioxidants such as Vitamins E and C as well as Glutathione.
Their essential role in promoting heart health is clearly
displayed by their ability to maintain healthy cholesterol
levels.
Mixed tocopherols are important sources of vitamin E in the
diet. CARNI-Q-GEL® contains the entire complex of naturally
occurring, unesterified mixed tocopherols (d-alpha, d-beta,
d-delta, and d-gamma tocopherols).
LIQUID
CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™
Most Comprehensive - “LIQUID IN A SOFTGEL” - Healthy
Bone Formula LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ combines six
(6) sources of Calcium and three (3) sources of Magnesium
with herbs, vitamins and other minerals to provide superior
nutrient bioavailability and complete nutritional support
to help maintain healthy bones. Research has shown that ingredients
in LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ may help maintain healthy
bone structure, healthy teeth and normal blood pressure. LIQUID
CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ is free of sugar, starch, yeast,
salt, wheat, corn and milk, and contains no preservatives,
artificial colors or flavors.
Three
(2) softgels of LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ supply:Calcium
(carbonate, citrate, gluconate, aspartate, malate, micronized
hydroxyapatite) – 666.6 mg
Calcium is an essential mineral that must be consumed daily
as a dietary supplement to achieve the intake levels recommended
by health authorities. LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™
provides a proprietary blend of six different calcium compounds
(carbonate, citrate, gluconate, aspartate, malate, micronized
hydroxyapatite) for maximum potency and optimum absorption.
The inclusion of Calcium Citrate ensures adequate calcium
absorption in the elderly.
LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ also contains an exceptionally
bioavailable source of Calcium, micronized hydroxyapatite,
which is specially processed to retain all bone minerals and
organic residues intact and in their natural physiological
ratios. Research has shown this superior source of Calcium
to be well tolerated, and that Micronized Hydroxyapatite Calcium
supplements result in enhanced mineral absorption and retention.
Magnesium (elemental as oxide, aspartate, citrate)
– 266.6 mg
Magnesium is important for the absorption, utilization and
metabolism of Calcium. Supplements such as LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM
Rx™, which contain both Calcium and Magnesium, provide
maximum benefit in relation to bone health and optimal blood
pressure control. Magnesium deficiency is extremely common
due to the excessive consumption of processed foods and inadequate
intake of whole, natural foods.
LIQUID
CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ supplies the best absorbable
forms of Magnesium including “chelated” and well
tolerated Magnesium bound to aspartate and citrate.
Vitamin
D (cholecalciferol) – 66.6 IU
Vitamin D is a hormone-like, fat soluble compound intricately
involved in Calcium metabolism, and best known for its ability
to stimulate the absorption of this essential mineral. Vitamin
D is required for the modeling and remodeling of bone, necessary
for strong bones and teeth.
Supplements such as LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™, which
contains Calcium combined with Vitamin D, are especially beneficial
for promoting bone health in those individuals (often the
elderly, postmenopausal women or patients with osteoporosis)
who are unable to get sufficient exposure to sunlight (which
stimulates the body’s manufacture of this vitamin),
and/or unable to produce adequate amounts of the active and
most potent form of this vitamin (possibly due to disorders
of the liver or kidneys and/or as a result of estrogen status,
Magnesium or Boron deficiency).
Boron
(elemental as gluconate) – 0.6 mg
Boron is necessary for the action of Vitamin D, which stimulates
the absorption and utilization of Calcium, and is therefore
important for bone health. Research studies suggest that Boron
may be essential in the conversion of Vitamin D to its active
form and may reduce body Calcium loss by increasing the beneficial
effects of estrogen on bone health. LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM
Rx™ contains Boron chelated to gluconate for maximum
bioavailability.
Vitamin
K (phylloquinone) – 6.6 mcg
Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin which acts as a coenzyme
in the synthesis of proteins involved with bone metabolism
and plays a role in maintaining healthy bone structure. A
deficiency of this vitamin leads to impaired mineralization
of the bone because of inadequate levels of osteocalcin, the
major noncollagen protein found in bones. Vitamin K is required
for the binding of the osteocalcin molecule with Calcium and
holding Calcium in place within the bone. Dietary sources
of Vitamin K include salad greens such as broccoli, lettuce,
cabbage, spinach and collards, as well as green tea, plant
oils (such as soybean, canola, and olive oils), green peas,
asparagus, oats, and whole wheat. LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM
Rx™ contains phylloquinone, the major form of Vitamin
K in the diet.
Horse
Tail (extract e. arvense) – 16.6 mg
Horse Tail is among the richest plant sources of the mineral
silicon, which plays a significant role in bone health. Horse
Tail contains silicon in the form of the compound monosilicic
acid, which the body can readily use. Silicon containing supplements
such as LIQUID CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM Rx™ help keep bones
and nails strong.
OMEGA‘3’
‘MLC’ FISH OILS™
Heart Protective Essential Marine Lipid Concentrate (MLC)
and Free-Radical-Quenching AntioxidantsMaintain healthy cholesterol,
homocysteine, and triglyceride levels and boost your overall
nutritional status with OMEGA‘3’ ‘MLC’
FISH OILS™, a unique enteric coated system designed
to release a special blend of marine Omega-3 Essential Fatty
Acids directly in the intestines, leaving no fishy after taste.
OMEGA‘3’ ‘MLC’ FISH OILS™ contains
key B-Vitamins and Antioxidant Nutrients to maintain heart
health and provide protection against harmful effects of highly
reactive compounds called free radicals. Free of starch, sugar,
yeast, salt, wheat, corn or milk and contains no preservatives,
synthetic colors or flavors.Two (2) Enteric Coated Softgels
of OMEGA‘3’ ‘MLC’ FISH OILS™
supply:
Marine
Lipid Concentrate – 1000 mg:
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) - 300 mg
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) - 200 mg
Other Omega-3 Fatty Acids – 50 mg
There is scientific support for the need to daily supplement
with Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids due to the low dietary
intake of this “good” fat, which is mostly found
in marine sources (such as mackerel, herring, tuna, halibut,
salmon, and cod liver), but also in a few plant sources (such
as flaxseed oil and walnuts). Population studies have shown
numerous heart health benefits of consuming a diet rich in
EPA, DHA and other Omega-3 Fatty Acids such as: reduced risk
of cardiovascular disease and mortality; lower levels of LDL
cholesterol and triglycerides; and lower blood pressure in
individuals with high blood pressure. B-Vitamins:
Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) – 3.34 mg,
Folate (Folic Acid) – 134 mcg,
Vitamin B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) – 16.68 mcg
A deficiency of Folic Acid, Vitamin B-6 or Vitamin B-12 can
lead to elevated blood concentrations of homocysteine, a harmful
substance that is thought to cause vascular damage and promote
an accumulation of fatty deposits in the inner linings of
the arteries (atherosclerosis). Researchers believe that homocysteine
acts by directly damaging the artery, by reducing the integrity
of the vessel wall, and by interfering with the formation
of collagen.
Homocysteine is an intermediate in the conversion of the amino
acid methionine to cysteine. Folic Acid is required for the
conversion of homocysteine to methionine, and enzymes containing
cofactors Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin B-12 are also necessary
for this conversion. An adequate intake of all three of these
B-Vitamins is considered to be the best approach for maintaining
healthy homocysteine levels.
Vitamin
E (as d-alpha tocopherol & mixed tocopherols) –
10 IU + Tocotrienol Complex – 8 mg
The efficacy of Vitamin E in promoting cardiovascular health
can be attributed to its antioxidant properties. Research
shows that antioxidants probably promote cardiovascular health
by shielding LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”)
from free radical damage, which is often the first step on
the road to plaque-clogged arteries.
Tocotrienols are a group of Vitamin E compounds with superior
antioxidant power but relatively little biological Vitamin
E activity. Tocotrienols have the ability to regenerate other
antioxidants such as Vitamins E and C as well as Glutathione.
Their essential role in promoting heart health is clearly
displayed by their ability to maintain healthy cholesterol
levels.
Mixed tocopherols are important sources of vitamin E in the
diet. OMEGA‘3’ ‘MLC’ FISH OILS™
contains the entire complex of naturally occurring, unesterified
mixed tocopherols (d-alpha, d-beta, d-delta, and d-gamma tocopherols).Herbs:
Garlic (odor-reduced (bulb) – 300 mg:
Known for its antioxidant and cholesterol-lowering properties
and according to some scientific and population based studies,
possible “cardioprotective” effects as well.
Curcumin (rhizome) – 84 mg: Widely
studied antioxidant component of Turmeric, a tropical herb
of the ginger family, which is used in Ayurveda, the traditional
medical system of India. Antioxidant properties of curcumin
are similar to that of vitamins C and E and studies have shown
