Co-Q Carnitine Complex

The human body functions optimally through the efficient conversion of food energy. Since CoQ10 has been shown to be an essential substance for the generation of energy, our bodies have to maintain it at sufficient levels. Current lifestyles may promote the production of damaging free radicals. CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant, which neutralizes free radicals that damage cellular material. As a result, CoQ10’s properties help protect the integrity of the cell wall, making it an indispensable energy provider that assumes an important protective function for the human body.

The source of the Co Q 10 in Co Q Carntine Complex as well as all Co Q 10 products from Maxi Health Research is from Kaneka, which is one of the oldest and most reputable manufacturers of Co Q 10 in Japan.

With a vast variety of this ingredient on the natural market it is important to note that there are two methods of producing CoQ10: the yeast fermentation method and the synthetic method. The yeast fermentation method produces natural CoQ10 that is identical to the human body’s own CoQ10 and is therefore free of the isomer found in synthetically produced CoQ10. Synthetically produced CoQ10 is chemically processed using tobacco. It contains cis isomer, a substance not available naturally. KanekaQ10 is processed 100% from yeast following the yeast fermentation method.

L-Carnitine, most people don't realize that the heart obtains 70% of its energy from fat breakdown. The fundamental role that L-Carnitine plays in energy metabolism together with the dependence of the heart on fatty acid breakdown for energy production, make L-Carnitine a crucial energy provider for the heart. Scientific evidence has shown that L-Carnitine supplementation has beneficial effects in maintaining cardiovascular wellness.

Clinical data indicates that L-Carnitine supplementation can positively support healthy heart muscle, can significantly increase heart muscle viability and is beneficial in supporting a healthy heartbeat. Other clinical research data indicate that L-Carnitine supplementation is helpful in maintaining healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

It is important to bear in mind that the dietary supplement L-Carnitine is not recommended to treat cardiovascular disease, which requires intervention by a health professional. However, clinical studies provide evidence that supplementary L-Carnitine may be beneficial in maintaining a healthy heart.

Carnitine like many biologically active molecules, may exist in two forms: L-Carnitine and D-Carnitine. The distinction between racemic D,L-Carnitine and the optically pure L-Carnitine,containing 0% D-Carnitine is important because only the L-isomer is available from natural sources and is physiologically active. In fact, the D-form is biologically inactive and because of its potential negative effects, the FDA has long maintained that D-Carnitine and D,L-Carnitine are not generally recognized as safe and are therefore illegal food additives.

Due to a unique patented method for the stereo-specific synthesis of pure L-Carnitine, Lonza is the only manufacturer that can guarantee 100% pure L-Carnitine, completely free of any harmful D-Carnitine and that is the source of L-Carnitine used in Maxi Health products.
