Sponsor The Awful Truth About Coenzyme Q10 Here's the Only Way That the CoQ10 You Take Can Give You the Energy You Need... Dear Health Conscious Reader, The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 – increased energy, improved metabolism, weight loss, cell protection, and better cardiovascular health – are already well established.1 In fact, research shows CoQ10 may promote neurological health as well.1 Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don’t feel any different after they start taking CoQ10. When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why. As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good. In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion’s share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need. Fortunately, I’ve found a simple way to solve this problem forever … make sure you maintain healthy levels of CoQ10 in your cells all year long … and enjoy the increased energy, vitality, and health that CoQ10 can deliver when it actually gets absorbed into your bloodstream and delivered to your cells!* Which of these CoQ10 supplements is in your medicine chest? The trouble with most brands of commercially available CoQ10 supplements is that they use a cheaper form of the enzyme – known as ubiquinone – that is extremely difficult for your body to absorb. So the label says the pill contains X amount of CoQ10. And it probably does. But only a tiny fraction of that is actually absorbed by your body. The rest is passed as waste, and is in fact wasted – never reaching the cell membranes and walls where it is needed most. We solve this problem with my best-selling CoQ10 supplement – Accel. Accel is composed 100% of a form of CoQ10 known as ubiquinol – vastly superior to ordinary store-bought CoQ10 supplements. With ubiquinol, your body absorbs up to 8 times more CoQ102 than with ordinary CoQ10 supplements as shown in the graph below:3             Graph adapted from Life Extensions Magazine. Better absorption means you can get more CoQ10 in your system while actually taking fewer pills. CoQ10 has been around for years. And it’s been helpful. But there are major drawbacks to the old type of CoQ10: it’s both weak … and expensive. Accel makes a difference because it’s in a stronger reduced form – so it is much more easily absorbed. I remember when I had to tell some patients to take 400 mg of the old CoQ10 every 8 hours to keep their blood levels high enough. It worked out. But it was very expensive. They could easily go through a bottle or two a week. With Accel, most people can get all the anti-aging power of CoQ10 with just one caplet a day. That makes the health benefits of CoQ10 available to you at a fraction of the cost.* Accel consists of pure ubiquinol – CoQ10 in its reduced form. As a result, the beneficial CoQ10 enzyme remains in your blood stream much longer than with ordinary CoQ10 tablets.4 The “delivery system” used in Accel speeds and maximizes absorption even further. How does it work? The outer caplet is a soft gel encasing a precisely measured dosage of 50 mg – my daily recommended requirements – of liquid ubiquinol CoQ10. The smooth outer caplet is easy to swallow. Once inside your body, the gel quickly dissolves, rapidly releasing liquid CoQ10. This highly water soluble liquid is rapidly – and fully – absorbed into your system. The adventures of “Super Mouse” Why your body absorbs Accel CoQ10 faster and better than the ordinary kind. Regular CoQ10 is sold to you as ubiquinone. When you swallow ordinary CoQ10 pills, your body first has to reduce the compound to ubiquinol – the most biologically active form of Co Q10. Only then can you absorb the CoQ10 as a nutrient that can power your cellular metabolism. Accel has already been reduced to ubiquinol before you ingest it. This eliminates the intermediate process of reduction in your body, and enables you to absorb Accel directly – in one efficient, quick step – into your bloodstream (see diagram). Remember the old Adventures of Superman TV series with George Reeves? In one episode, a scientist invents an energy pill that gives a laboratory mouse super strength similar to Superman’s – turning the ordinary mouse into “Super Mouse.” Taking Accel won’t give you super strength or super speed. But it can boost your energy by a degree you can notice and feel.* How can I be so sure? Several months ago, I had a private meeting with Dr. Tatsumasa Mae here at my Florida medical offices. Dr. Mae is the world’s leading CoQ10 researcher. He showed me a videotape of the test subjects he used in an animal study of the anti-aging properties of CoQ10. The video showed that after several months, his lab mice taking no CoQ10 all died of natural causes. All of the untreated mice showed typical signs of oxidative stress. A second group of test mice took conventional CoQ10. They were still alive, but showed signs of aging. These mice lasted longer than the first group, but when they died, they had similar conditions. But the third group of lab mice in the video had been given my “super-absorbable” Accel CoQ10. And what I saw was nothing short of a small miracle…. The test subjects taking Accel were not just alive. They actually looked younger than the mice in the other groups! The Accel mice also had more energy. They were running around in their cages with all the vigor of mice half their age (see graph). And in spite of being “old” (for mice), they showed almost no sign of aging. After a year, the “super mice” on Accel aged 22% slower than mice taking conventional CoQ103. Researchers also measured the effect of CoQ10 supplementation on stamina. They found that mice taking ubiquinol were able to run continuously on their treadmills two and a half times longer than mice taking conventional CoQ103. The many health benefits of taking Accel CoQ10 Increased energy … improved metabolic function, cell protection, better cardiovascular health and weight loss are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the health benefits my patients and I receive by taking our Accel CoQ10 daily (yes, I take Accel, as does everyone in my family!).* Here are just some of the other ways Accel can help you live longer and feel better: Heart health … according to the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, a number of clinical studies have found CoQ10 promotes cardiovascular health.5 Blood sugar … an Australian study showed that patients who took CoQ10 were able to maintain blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.6 Vision … in a recent clinical trial, taking CoQ10 for a year helped them see more clearly.7 Cognition … an animal study performed at Johns Hopkins University found that CoQ10 supplementation improves learning and memory.7 Bronchial Health … researchers in Texas found CoQ10 promotes bronchial health.7 Gum health … CoQ10 can improve gum and oral health.7 Clear-headed comfort … in one study, more than 6 out of 10 patients treated with CoQ10 daily reported feeling more clear-headed comfort.7 Oxidative stress … Accel is a powerful antioxidant, eliminating the free radicals that can cause damage to cell membranes and mitochondria.3 Skin care … a German study shows that CoQ10 can help reduce wrinkles and protect skin from the damaging effects of too much exposure to sunlight.8 Accel is the quick and easy way to get 100% of the CoQ10 you take daily…. NEW and IMPROVED The Most Powerful Anti-Aging Formula Just Got Better! We’ve added a vital new ingredient to Accel… tocotrienols, the most effective form of Vitamin E. This is great news! Tocotrienols are remarkable antioxidants. They have powerful heart benefits that… Promote normal cholesterol levels Encourage healthy triglyceride levels Achieve normal blood pressure And it doesn’t stop there… you’ll receive all the extra benefits of the new and improved Accel at no additional cost. In other words, you’ll get a more powerful supplement at the same money-saving price. By combining the ubiquinol form of CoQ10– the kind found in Accel – with tocotrienols, you’ll keep the tocotrienols active in your system for a longer period than just taking them alone.1 So the benefits to your heart are that much greater. Consider the amazing health benefits you already receive from Accel, Dr. Sears’ special “ubiquinol” form of CoQ10. Now add to that the most effective form of Vitamin E – tocotrienols – and you’ll have one of the most potent heart-healthy supplements available anywhere. All in one little pill.
