By now, you’ve probably heard of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
According to many scientific studies and numerous experts (including distinguished Florida cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall), CoQ10 plays a pivotal role in heart health.
CoQ10 is a natural, vitamin-like substance found in every body cell, and is more highly concentrated in organs with higher energy needs — like your heart.
You’ll find CoQ10 in the mitochondria, which are your cell’s “power plants.” Heart cells have approximately 5,000 mitochondria each, more than in any other cells.
Inside these mitochondria, CoQ10 helps manufacture the compound adenosine triphosphate — “ATP” for short. ATP provides the energy to keep your heart beating day in and day out, over the course of your lifetime.
In addition, CoQ10 is a strong antioxidant that helps fight free radicals at the cellular level. Promoting health at the cellular level is important to graceful aging. Additionally, CoQ10 helps stabilize the membranes surrounding cells.
Unfortunately, there’s a big problem with CoQ10.
Our bodies produce CoQ10 naturally, but
with age, CoQ10 levels decline significantly.
By the time you reach your 40s, your body’s CoQ10 levels may have dropped by as much as 30%. In addition, nutritionally oriented physicians recommend that you supplement with CoQ10 if you are taking statin drugs because statins may deplete CoQ10 levels.
The connection between CoQ10 and cardiac health was first uncovered in 1957, when researchers detected high amounts of CoQ10 in heart tissue.
Today, numerous trials indicate CoQ10’s unique role in supporting cardiovascular health.
Clinical studies on CoQ10 suggest it can promote optimal heart function and normal blood pressure levels. It can also help reduce homocysteine levels, an important factor in heart health.
But if you take a CoQ10 supplement — or are thinking of doing so — please consider this warning . . .
Imagine slicing off a tiny sliver of the pill or capsule of CoQ10, swallowing that minuscule piece, and throwing the rest of the supplement in the toilet.
That’s shockingly close to what happens with most CoQ10 supplements.
You see, traditional CoQ10 is very poorly absorbed by the body. What’s more, many traditional CoQ10 supplements provide less than 200 mg a day of CoQ10, which is unlikely to deliver the cardiac benefits you’re counting on.
The reason for such poor absorption is because the coenzyme Q10 molecule is insoluble in water and soluble in oil.
The human body is up to 60% water. So most of the CoQ10 doesn’t dissolve in your body and is excreted in your urine. You literally flush it away.
Here’s some good news for men and women
looking to support their heart health with CoQ10.
To counter these absorption issues, researchers have developed an advanced nutrient delivery system they named Bioperine®.
This patented extract obtained from black pepper fruits contains the active ingredient piperine. Besides being responsible for the spiciness of pepper, scientists discovered that piperine significantly improves nutrient absorption and bioavailability.
Bioperine has been found to enhance
absorption by at least 30%!
And now a renowned heart expert, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, has taken advantage of the Bioperine breakthrough to help more people optimize their cardiovascular health.
If you’re not familiar with Dr. Crandall, he established the Duke University Interventional Cardiology Program — Palm Beach and is chief of the cardiac transplant program at the world renowned Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic, where he practices interventional, vascular, and transplant cardiology.
He received his postgraduate training at Yale University School of Medicine, where he also completed three years of research in the cardiovascular surgery division.
According to Dr. Crandall, you can help maintain a healthy heart well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond, thanks to a combination of daily activities and by ingesting certain nutrients critical to heart function.
Here are Dr. Crandall’s
top simple tips for better heart health:
As noted in studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, every extra hour of sleep you get improves your cardiac health. So make sure you get sufficient good quality sleep.
Spend 10 minutes a day in quiet meditation, reflection, or prayer to lower your stress level.
Limit saturated fat intake to no more than 7% of your total calories. Use olive oil to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and raise “good” HDL cholesterol.
One serving per week of fish high in omega 3 fatty acids can also help promote overall heart health. Unfortunately, a lot of fish are contaminated by toxins today. That’s why Dr. Crandall has been recommending fish oil supplements to his patients for 15 years now.
Dr. Crandall also recommends that people take at least 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 daily. As you’ve already heard, this important nutrient helps produce energy that keeps your heart beating properly. It can also promote healthy circulatory function and blood pressure.
Targeted supplements for the cardiovascular system make it easier to support the health of your heart and vessels. And good news . . .
Taking matters into his own hands, Dr. Crandall has combined two of the most powerful heart nutrients, coenzyme Q10 and omega-3s, in a single daily supplement. He also added vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.
COTREXIN® now makes it easy
to support your heart health!
COTREXIN is an advanced nutritional supplement that uses the patented Bioperine delivery system to maximize the bioavailability and benefits of its key components.
The primary ingredient in
COTREXIN is 200 mg of CoQ10 daily.
And thanks to Bioperine, COTREXIN’s CoQ10 is absorbed and utilized by the body up to 30% better than conventional coenzyme Q10.
In fact, COTREXIN contains 5 mg of Bioperine per capsule — a full research dose.
There’s a huge body of clinical research that indicates the importance of maintaining the body’s levels of coenzyme Q10. In fact, recent studies on CoQ10 reported in the journal Molecular Aspects of Medicine concluded that CoQ10 supplementation is a safe and effective way to help maintain cardiac health.
What about CoQ10 and blood pressure?
In 13 clinical studies with a total of 362 patients, coenzyme Q10 supported healthy blood pressure levels.
And that’s not all . . .
Coenzyme Q10 does more than promote cardiac health.
The brain is also a major beneficiary of CoQ10’s antioxidant and cellular energy boosting power.
You can easily understand why the brain has a huge and constant need for energy.
And fortunately, research indicates that CoQ10 taken orally helps protect brain cells and neurons against damage.
COTREXIN also provides needed EPA
and DHA omega-3s from fish oil.
It is well known that omega-3s, especially DHA, support brain and cognitive health.
9 Healthy Benefits of COTREXIN
Supports Heart Health & Function
Supports Brain Health
Enhances Cellular Energy Production
Supports Normal Blood Pressure Levels
Supports Circulatory Health
Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Response
Supports Antioxidant Activity
Supports Healthy Triglyceride Levels
Helps Reduce the Oxidation of Cholesterol
In addition to 200 mg daily of CoQ10, COTREXIN also delivers 650 mg omega-3 EPA and 100 mg omega-3 DHA fish oil. Supportive, but not conclusive, evidence suggests omega-3s help reduce the risk of heart disease.
And of course, Bioperine also enhances the absorption and bioavailability of the omega-3 EPA and DHA in COTREXIN.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) promotes proper blood clotting.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) helps raise “good” HDL2 cholesterol and promotes arterial health. It also appears that DHA may increase LDL particle size, which is related to better heart health.
Fish is rich in omega-3 oil. In a giant study of 22,070 male physicians ages 40 through 84, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, those who ate fish once a week had better cardiac health than those who did not.
But heart health is not the only reason to take omega-3 fish oil.
Just as with CoQ10, omega-3 fatty acids may also help promote optimal brain function.
And last but not least, COTREXIN also contains a supportive ingredient — 6.7 mg of vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant.
Research indicates that tocopherols promote a balanced inflammatory response and help scavenge free radicals. This supports healthy heart and brain function.
Dr. Crandall is confident in the research behind the ingredients in COTREXIN — which is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines — and in the processing and packaging that goes into bringing it directly to you. These ensure you receive a source of high-quality nutrients.
Dr. Crandall is so confident that COTREXIN can help you achieve optimal cardiac health that he wants to give you a special opportunity.
