Featuring CoQ10
Quick facts about effects of high blood sugar on human health:
Short term effects of high blood sugar:
- Feel tired and weak
- Be thirsty
- Urinate more
- Be more susceptible to infections (that’s because the body can confuse blood sugar with Vitamin C and reach for the wrong tool in fighting infection)
- Dehydration
- Electrolyte Imbalance
- Loss of balance
Long term effects of high blood sugar:
- Eye disease
- Blindness
- Kidney disease
- Kidney failure
- Dialysis
- Nerve disease
- Amputations
- Heart disease
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure levels

CoQ10 Plus - Cellular Energy Facilitator
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) facilitates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy inside the mitochondria. If we compared our cellular mitochondria to a car engine, CoQ10 would be the fuel injector (carburetor for older cars). And since nothing is more basic to life than burning of fuel to make energy it follows that when CoQ10 levels diminish, basic cell metabolic functions are impaired, and the ability to live a productive life must necessarily diminish.
It is interesting that by the time someone reaches 80 years of age, 80% of the CoQ10 levels that were in a person’s cells at age 25 are gone.
- No wonder we have less energy when we are older.
- No wonder that there are hundreds of CoQ10 products on the market... since CoQ10 supplementation really has an impact on the energy inside one’s cells.
- No wonder that every cell functions better with more CoQ10 in it.

Doesn’t Matter Which Kind of CoQ10 We Eat
One manufacturer claims that reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol) is better than standard CoQ10 (ubiquinone). However, this isn’t really true. The difference is assimilation is minute, and
Cutting Edge CoQ10 Formulation
Our CoQ10 formulation also includes Bioperine which further increases the amount of CoQ10 that goes to the blood and to the cells, as shown in the following graph, which shows the amount of CoQ10 going to the blood after a single oral intake of 90 mg CoQ10 and 5 mg of Bioperine.
And the following graph shows the absolute change in serum CoQ10 after 14 days of supplementation with CoQ10 (90 mg daily) and Bioperine (5mg daily).
Finally, this graph shows the serum levels after a 21 day trial in terms of sustained CoQ10 increase.
Here are some of the important herbal ingredients in our Glycemic Support Product: (Please note disclaimer at bottom of page. Studies referenced must not be construed as product claims. They are presented only for educational value.)
- Gymnema Sylvestre Leaf Extract - this Ayurvedic medicinal botanical has been used for over 2,000 years by Ayurvedic practitioners with persons exhibiting symptoms that today we associated with high blood sugar.
The leaves of Gymnema sylvestre perform two significant functions relative to diabetes. First, they suppress blood glucose by helping prevent its absorption from the intestines. Secondly, they are insulin tropic, i.e. they promote insulin secretion. Through these two actions, Gymnema sylvestre may be a valuable aid in diabetes support of healthy blood sugar levels.
Scientists think its active ingredients (Gymnemic acids) protect the cells of the pancreas from free radical damage, so allowing them to regenerate and produce insulin more effectively. Studies have shown that Gymnema can also reduce glucose absorption from the intestine, so helping to regulate blood sugar levels. A recent Harvard study indicates the Gymnema lowers blood sugar levels in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. A recent King's College, London, study states that Gymnema acts by increasing cell permeability, therefore reducing insulin resistance.
- Bitter Melon - Bitter Melon has been used for hundreds of years by Chinese health practitioners but has just been recognized recently by Western scientists as being useful in glycemic support. Four compounds in bitter melon perform a very similar action to exercise, that is they move glucose transporters to the cell membrane surface, a very important action for helping blood sugar to be removed out of the cell.
- Goat’s Rue (also known as French Lilac) - scientists first learned that Goat’s Rue could have blood sugar lowering effects in 1920. Since then they have learned that helps blood platelets from clumping together and even helps in weight loss.
- Cinnamon Extract - according to U.S. Department of Agricultural scientists, the consumption of cinnamon helps to decrease glucose levels in the body as well as reduce oxidative stress.
- L-Glutamine - studies show that L-Glutamine acts to signal the brain to stop eating, the liver to stop secreting glucose and the pancrease to make more insulin, all of which are helpful in diabetes and obesity.
- Vanadium - has been shown to help restore elevated blood glucose levels to normal.
