This section contains supplements which have special qualities primarily beneficial to the cardio-vascular system. These supplements are therefore mostly suitable for people with heart disease or high blood pressure, such as the elderly, and there are some that may also be beneficial for alleviating the symptoms of diabetes, obesity or gum disease. Our Bio-Quinone Q10 products contain the substance 'coenzyme Q10' which is well established as being beneficial to the heart and circulatory system. Coenzymes are chemicals that act as carriers between enzymes; they assist in chemical reactions all over the body and are essential for many bodily processes. Coenzyme Q10 acts as an antioxidant and is particularly important in the cardio-vascular system. Young people may synthesize coenzyme Q10 within their body, but as one gets older, the body loses its ability to do this, and the level of Q10 decreases. For this reason, the supplementation of coenzyme Q10 is most useful for the elderly, especially those with heart or circulatory problems. Nevertheless, coenzyme Q10 may also optimize the cardio-vascular system for athletes, or it could be used to enhance the immune system. We also sell other natural supplements to help maintain a healthy heart, such as Hawthorn-Garlic Complex which is effective in aiding the heart and circulatory system, or Crataegus, which, as well as helping the heart function, is also effective as a digestive aid. |
