Feel Younger - Krill Oil Omega 3 500mg 30caps
£35.00
Do you suffer from any of the following issues?
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Joint pain
Rheumatoid arthritis
Skin disorders (e.g. psoriasis, dermatitis)
Obesity
AMD (age-related macular degeneration)
Heart disease
Depression
Liver disease
Osteoporosis
Chronic inflammation
ADHD
Struggles to concentrate
Asthma
If so, then Krill Oil Omega-3 could be one of the essential supplements to improve your overall health.How can Krill Oil Omega-3 help you with this?The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends every person consume around two portions of fish each week, as the omega-3s found in fish and other sea creatures are a key ingredient in living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. If you’re vegetarian, vegan, or simply don’t eat seafood, then you should receive your weekly intake of omega-3 through a natural supplement.The omega-3 nutrients found in marine life are an important source of energy and have been scientifically proven to support your immune system. These nutrients are present in every cell wall in the body, and therefore play an important role in building and maintaining your natural defense systems.One of the key health benefits of Krill Oil Omega-3 is that it reduces inflammation. Inflammation is our natural response to fighting infections and healing injuries. However, chronic inflammation is associated with numerous health disorders, including asthma, obesity, depression, and heart disease. By reducing inflammation, we can alleviate symptoms of these diseases. Krill Oil Omega-3 has also been known to improve risk factors surrounding heart disease. Several decades ago, researchers noticed that fish-eating communities had unusually low rates of heart diseases and strokes. Since then, omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to numerous benefits for heart health, such as reducing triglycerides, lowering blood pressure, raising "good" HDL cholesterol levels, and clearing plaque from the walls of your arteries.What are other benefits of Krill Oil Omega-3?Krill Oil Omega-3 can be considered one of the fundamental supplements, in that it can be used to manage a wide range of health conditions. Some additional proven health benefits of krill oil include:
Improve eyesight
Improve brain health
Skin health
Reduce symptoms of ADHD
Stronger immune system
Emotional and mental wellbeing
Lower levels of liver fat
Alleviate menstrual pain
What is Krill Oil Omega-3?Omega-3 fish oils are an effective health supplement containing the natural fats extracted from fish tissue. It is typically taken from oily fish such as tuna, anchovies, herring and mackerel. However, it’s also sometimes produced from the livers of other fish — for example, cod liver oil.Over the past years, Krill Oil has rapidly gained popularity as an alternative to fish oil. It is made from krill, a small crustacean consumed by whales, penguins and other sea animals. Similar to fish oil, Krill Oil Omega-3 is a strong source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and astaxanthin, natural omega-3 fats only found in marine life.Many consider Krill Oil superior to Fish Oil because it contains astaxanthin. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin is also a natural preservative. This prevents the omega-3 fish oil from turning rancid, which is a common problem with other fish oils.How is our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplement better than others you may have tried?Omega-3 is a popular health supplement on the market, but certain manufacturers do not adhere to the same high standards of quality as Feel Younger. There are several reasons why our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements are superior to similar products.To begin with, our supplement has a higher concentration of the active ingredients EPA and DHA. These two key nutrients present in fish and marine life oils play an essential role in improving your immune system and counteracting the effects of ageing. Although many Omega-3 supplements advertise 1000mg of fatty oils on the front of their containers, if you look at the list of ingredients on the back, you’ll notice they often contain as little as 320mg of EPA and DHA. On the other hand, Feel Younger’s Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements have a 500mg portion of EPA and DHA, promising you the healthy, recommended intake of these two nutrients.Our Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements also contain another key nutrient: astaxanthin. Studies have shown that astaxanthin activates the white blood cells in your body, improving your immune system. It has also been known to help protect your skin from UV damage.Feel Younger’s Krill Oil Omega-3 supplements also come in softgel capsules. As a result, they're easily absorbed into the body and don’t have the unpleasant fishy taste of similar supplements. As is the case with all our dietary supplements, the Feel Younger krill oil capsules are gluten-free and made from all natural ingredients.How do you take Krill Oil Omega-3?As a dietary supplement, it’s recommended you take one (1) softgel capsule twice a day. For the best results, take your dose 20-30 minutes before a meal with an 8oz. glass of water or as directed by your healthcare professional.Are there any cautions?Though omega-3 supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with a healthcare professional before taking them. If you are allergic to fish or shellfish, seek advice from your healthcare professional first.Fish oil is likely safe for most people in doses of 5 grams or less dailyFish oil might slow blood clotting. Taking fish oil along with medications that also slow blood clotting might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should also consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.

Vitamin D3 5,000 IU with Organic Coconut Oil - 30 ct.(Natural Stacks)
£9.00
Found in cells throughout the brain and body, Vitamin D plays an integral role in regulating the neuromuscular and immune systems [1,2], as well as mood and sleep [3]. It’s also a critical hormone precursor that supports new cell growth [4] and bone formation [5,6].
Vitamin D is essential to maintaining health and optimizing performance. Unfortunately it’s only found in a few foods and often in very small amounts. Because of it’s vital importance and lack of dietary sources, humans evolved to be able to make Vitamin D on their own.
Ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation from sunlight penetrates uncovered skin and naturally gets converted into Vitamin D. Season, time / length of day, cloud cover, smog, sunscreen, and darkness of skin all affect the amount of UV exposure and rate of Vitamin D synthesis [7]. It’s been shown that cloud cover and pollution can reduce UV energy by up to 60%, and UV-B radiation doesn’t penetrate glass so exposure to sunlight through a window does not produce Vitamin D [8].
It’s estimated that 1 billion worldwide suffer from Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency [9]. Symptoms of inadequate levels of Vitamin D include bone pain and muscle weakness, but the symptoms can be subtle and go undetected in the initial stages. Deficiency has been associated with increased risk of autoimmune, cardiovascular, and infectious diseases [10].
Natural Stacks™ Vitamin D3 provides the highly bioavailable form of natural Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol).
To ensure optimal absorption of this fat-soluble vitamin we suspended it in the healthiest fat on the planet - organic cold pressed coconut oil. The natural fatty acids in coconut oil aid the transport of Vitamin D into the bloodstream for fast and effective results.

Suggested Use: Take 1 softgel per day, preferably in the morning, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
Each softgel features 5,000 IU of the most bioavailable form of natural Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is absolutely essential for optimal performance and health.
Organic Coconut Oil
Certified organic coconut oil is the perfect addition to Vitamin D3. Fat-soluble vitamin D is suspended within the coconut oil allowing for maximum absorption.
When studying the relationship between vitamin D levels and cognition, researchers found that “the high vitamin D group had significantly more correct responses than the low vitamin D group”. [1]
A meta-analysis of 18 independent randomized controlled trials (total 57,311 participants) found that “Intake of ordinary doses of vitamin D supplements seems to be associated with decreases in total mortality rates”. [2]
An extensive 2007 study on 2,160 healthy women concluded that “higher vitamin D concentrations are associated with longer LTL, which underscores the potentially beneficial effects of this hormone of aging and age-related diseases”. [3]
A rodent study investigating the neuroprotective effects of vitamin D discovered it’s ability to mitigate inflammation, making it “a useful therapeutic option to alleviate the effects of aging on cognitive function”. [4]
Dr. Rhonda Patrick recently discovered that “Vitamin D hormone regulates serotonin synthesis”. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation. [5]
A study examining the cognitive performance, mood, and physical performance of 80 older adults found that “vitamin D deficiency was associated with low mood and with impairment on two of four measures of cognitive performance”. [6]

Reducing blood sugar levels
Weight loss
Muscle growth
Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal & antiparasitic activity
Mental health
Reducing pain
Reproductive health for men & women
Improving immune response
Improving gut health
You can probably see why Ashwagandha is one of the most popular herbs in the world and has been so for over 1000 years!What is Ashwagandha and where does it come from?Native to Southeast Asia & India, the ashwagandha plant is a relatively small bush with yellow flowers.Scientifically known as Withania Somnifera, powders and extracts are created from the plant’s leaves and roots.Ashwagandha is classed as an adaptogen, which are substances used in herbal medicine that are considered to help the body deal with stress by mediating the stress response.Ashwagandha’s Traditional Use & HistoryRecords show that the Ayurvedic medicinal system highly regarded ashwagandha [1] as far as 6000 BC, and it is believed to play an integral role in naturally treating stress [2] and anxiety and improving cognitive function.Throughout time, ashwagandha has been mentioned in many mythologies and stories which describe its incredible properties.Indian kings used to regard ashwagandha as one of the reasons they were able to better rule the kingdom.In ancient Greek legends, Apollo gave the withania somnifera plant to the healer Aescalupius.How does Ashwagandha work?Ashwagandha features a wide range of active components, which include withanolides, saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols, resins and alkaloids.The most biologically active of these are withanolides (which are unique to ashwagandha and are steroid lactones). The most studied variation isWithaferin A.Withaferin A is an effective and powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant withanolide [3].Ashwagandha also contains sitoindosides, a group of antioxidant saponins which researchers believe may prevent cognitive defects and ease psychological stress [4].Ashwagandha has been shown to have many benefits, some of which include:
Reducing stress & anxiety by helping to control mediators of stress while reducing the activityof the HPA (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal) axis [5]
Improving brain function & memory [6]
Improving athletic performance by potentially enhancing oxygen and strength use whileexercising [7]
Improving heart health by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol [8]
Improving sleep due to the triethylene glycol that can be found in its leaves [9]
People mainly use Ashwagandha to: Reduce Stress & AnxietyAshwagandha’s ability to potentially help reduce stress and anxiety is probably the most common and well known use, which led to its classification as an adaptogen.A double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled study on healthy adults appeared to show that ashwagandha helped control mediators of stress, such as cortisol, the stress activated JNK-1 protein (c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase) and Hsp70 (heart shock proteins) [10].It also appeared to reduce activity of the HPA axis (a system that regulates stress response) [11].A different study on 60 people showed that taking 240 mg doses of ashwagandha extract daily for 60 days significantly reduced their anxieties (against those who took placebos) [12].Increase Athletic Performance & EnduranceVarious studies have shown that ashwagandha can have positive impacts on athletic performance.Analysis of 12 studies on men and women who took daily ashwagandha doses suggested that physical performance was enhanced, which included increased strength and oxygen use during exercise [13].A 12 week trial on 49 athletic and healthy adults showed an improvement in endurance and self reported physical health [14].Another study conducted 8 weeks of supplementation of ashwagandha and measured the cardiorespiratory endurance in elite indian cyclists [15]. The same improvements were reported.The Addition of Black Pepper to Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mgThere are many reasons why taking ashwagandha with black pepper is beneficial, the main advantage being that taking black pepper makes Ashwagandha more bioavailable, meaning the Ashwagandha you take is better absorbed into your body’s cells, where it’s needed [16].Black pepper contains piperine, which has many benefits, such as:
It can help to decrease inflammation by reducing cytokine levels that promote inflammation, while increasing cytokine levels thatreduce inflammation [17]
It is a powerful antioxidant and acts directly as superoxide and hydroxyl which savage free radicals [18]
Piperine can help to inhibit hormone-like fats (prostaglandins), which could help with diarrhoea [19]
It can increase serotonin and dopamine (in the brain) which could improve cognitive function and mood [20]
Black pepper can also increase muscle metabolism through increased ATPase activity. This may increase muscle energy use and aid weight loss [21]
Why Try Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mg with Black Pepper?Our Organic ashwagandha is high quality, high purity, organic, gluten free, all natural, non GMO, sugar free, vegan and vegetarian friendly, hormone free, lactose free and contains no nasty fillers or binders.We use the highest quality black pepper, which is also Organic.We’ve taken the stress out of powder form supplements by producing our Organic ashwagandha into easy to swallow capsules.How do you take Feel Younger® Organic Ashwagandha 1300mg with Black Pepper?Take 2 capsules once a day, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal.Any cautions?In rare cases, people may experience stomach discomfort, drowsiness and diarrhoea.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Zahler - Prenatal DHA300 60softgels
£49.95
Product Overview
Prenatal+DHA is a balanced, synergistic formula that provides a curated compilation of nutrients your developing baby requires in the optimal ratios for absorption, metabolism, and safety. Prenatal+DHA is a top-rated, exclusive formula sourced directly from nature containing pure unadulterated ingredients and meets the highest nutraceutical standards.More about Prenatal+DHA:The structural fatty acid DHA is crucial for proper eye and central nervous system development, impacting some of the most significant brain functions including vision, cognition and motor function. While DHA is important for everyone, it can be especially vital for babies. Fetuses get DHA while in the womb, and babies could get DHA through their mother’s milk. But, many women do not have enough DHA for themselves, let alone enough DHA for two. Prenatal supplements that are fortified with DHA increase the level of DHA in expectant and new mothers so that both mother and baby can benefit.Another crucial component of Prenatal+DHA is the nutrient folate. Unlike folic acid, the source Biofolate® (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium) is body ready, which means it requires no complex conversion and eliminates the risk of unmetabolized folic acid. This naturally occurring form of folate is required by as many as 50% of pregnant women due to an MTFHR gene mutation, as these women either lack the enzymes needed to receive any benefit from synthetic folic acid or cannot fully process synthetic folic acid at RDA or higher dose levels.
Products FAQ's
What are the benefits of DHA in Pregnancy?
DHA has been proven to be absolutely essential during the critical periods of pregnancy and early infancy. Maternal DHA levels directly impact the developing central nervous system and the cognition (mental development) of the developing baby, as well as the vision and motor function. Research also shows that DHA taken in pregnancy supports the mother as well.
Why did you include Chromium in Prenatal +DHA?
We included chromium in Prenatal +DHA to help support healthy blood sugar levels, which is always beneficial but is even more important during pregnancy.
What is the difference between the folate, Biofolate® (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium) in Prenatal +DHA versus standard folic acid found in most prenatal supplements?
The naturally occurring, metabolically active form of methylfolate found in Prenatal +DHA is the most stable and bioactive form of folate. Methylated folate is body ready, which means it requires no complex conversion and eliminates the risk of un-metabolized folic acid. This naturally occurring form of folate is required by a large percentage of women due to an MTFHR gene mutation, as these women either lack the enzymes needed to receive any benefit from synthetic folic acid, or cannot fully process synthetic folic acid at RDA or higher dose levels.
Can I take both of the softgels at once? I find that if I don't take them both the same time I forget the second dose.
Yes, you can take both softgels at the same time. That is definitely better than taking only 1 a day. However, for maximum absorption it's recommended to take the softgels separately with at least a 3-hour space between them.
Can I take this Prenatal supplement while breastfeeding?
Absolutely. When one is breastfeeding, the baby is receiving all the nutrients it needs, often depleting the mother. Therefore, it is crucial for breastfeeding mothers to take a quality supplement such as Prenatal +DHA300 to provide both mother and baby with the nutrients needed.
Does the Prenatal +DHA 300 contain synthetic folic acid or natural folate?
Zahler Prenatal +DHA 300 contains only methylated folate, no synthetic folic acid at all.

What causes stress, and why is it important to lower your stress levels?Have you ever met someone who doesn’t experience much stress? It’s pretty rare. While certain types of stress are good (eustress), usually intense and brief stresses like exercise, a cold shower or getting outside your comfort zone every now and then, long term, chronic stress (distress) has been proven to be a significant factor in creating a large variety of health problems.There are different categories of Stress:
Mental Stress, like anxious thoughts and worrying about the past or future
Chemical Stresses, like toxins and infections
Emotional Stresses, like Anger and Sadness, or traumas
And Physical Stresses, like Hunger, Cold, Exhaustion etc
All of these are, to some degree, ‘normal’, and yet any of these stresses, once excessive, can cause significant and debilitating levels of suffering (distress), which can lead to health issues sooner or later.Any of the above stimuli can lead to being in a state of stress, which is where your fight or flight response activates your adrenal glands to release a cocktail of Neurochemicals into your body to help cope with the situation. Adrenaline, Noradrenaline and Cortisol are the 3 main Neurochemicals that are released.Adrenaline and Noradrenaline increase your heart rate, bring more blood flow into the muscles and lungs, give you a surge of energy and raise your blood pressure.Cortisol increases glucose levels in your blood, activates your brain to use more glucose and makes the substances that repair tissues more readily available in your body.All of this response is Good and Healthy, IF it is temporary (a few hours at most) and occasional (not every day).When you’re stressed, you can feel:
Angry, irritable or uptight
Overwhelmed
Unable to focus
Anxious and Worried
Afraid
If the Stress is Extreme enough, or Chronic enough, or both, you can go into another mode called the Dorsal Vagal Mode. In this state, the body has decided it is not worth fighting anymore, and the best strategy is to conserve energy and ‘play dead.’In this case, heart rate and blood pressure can go down, respiration decreases, energy production and metabolism decreases, and the person experiences very little energy or motivation, due to downregulation of Dopamine.This is often described as being depressed [1].In either case, whether you stay Chronically in a high stress state, or a Depressed state, or vacillation between the two, Prolonged exposure to these stress states can lead to many health problems, such as:
High or Low Blood Pressure
Heart problems
Obesity
Blood Sugar Dysregulation
Skin Conditions
Digestive Problems
Allergies and Intolerances
Exhaustion
Trouble sleeping
Headaches and dizziness
Uncontrollable muscle tension, such as the clenching of your jaw
Aches and pains
Weakened immune system, often leading to repeated and/or chronic infections
Difficulties having desire for sex (women) or inability to have sex (men).
Panic attacks
Can You Test For Stress?The best test for Stress is a 24 hour Saliva Cortisol Test, preferably with DHEA included.This gives you a snapshot of how much stress you are experiencing throughout the day, and can also give some clues as to whether the stress has been long term, and how depleted you are from it, if at all.The Top 8 Ways to Lower Your Stress Levels:Although there are situations that are out of your control that cause stress, the one thing you can learn to have control over is your emotional response to those situations.In other words, Stress is not something that happens to you, it’s your response to what happens to you. However, the stress response is largely automatic, so the only way to change how much situations ’stress you out’ is to retrain your nervous system to respond to situations in a more optimal way.Until recently, mainstream science believed that our ability to change our stress response was limited, but Wim Hof helped prove that we can control our response to even the most extreme stresses, proving his point by breaking dozens of world records and helping seemingly anyone who trained under him to completely change their stress response, e.g. by showing them how to climb to the top of Mount Everest unassisted wearing very little clothing!On a more practical, everyday level, there’s a variety of lifestyle changes you can make to help lower your stress levels, such as:
Meditating. Studies have shown the positive impacts of meditation on stress levels [2]. This is traditionally used for lowering mental stress particularly, and is also great for lowering emotional stress.
Eat a healthy organic diet. The negative effects of stress on your body can be lessened by eating a healthier, organic diet [3]. This reduces your Chemical Stress load.
Do breathing exercises [4] which can lower your heart rate, blood pressure and reduce anxiety. There are many out there to try. This is traditionally used for lowering emotional stress particularly.
Exercise regularly. Physical activity is a great way to have temporary physical stress which then actually lowers your overall stress and clears your mind [5].
Talk to someone about your problems. Simply “getting it off your chest” is a great way to reduce the pressure and stress you feel. Great for mental and emotional stress.
Stay social. All humans are, to some degree, social beings, and social isolation has been proven to increase stress levels [6]. Make sure you interact with people who do not consistently increase your emotional and mental stress!
Take some time off work. Whether that be a holiday, or giving yourself 2 days off a week - time off work where you can think about nothing and totally relax is essential to lower your stress.
Support your body with nutrients and minerals that will help you to be more relaxed, and lower your stress levels:
Calcium. Extreme fatigue can be caused by calcium deficiency, which can lead to insomnia [7]. Insomnia can lead to feeling worried, which in turn makes the insomnia worse!When we are sleep deprived, we are more susceptible to stress [8].B-Complex Vitamins. B vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, biotin, d-calcium and pantothenate play crucial roles in mood regulation [9].Plus, the more stress we experience, the more B Vitamins we use. And then when we get low in B Vitamins we are less resilient to stress. Another vicious circle! Break the cycle with extra B Vitamins.Magnesium. Research suggests that being deficient in magnesium can increase your susceptibility to stress and anxiety [10], which causes further magnesium loss, and more stress [11].Zinc. Over time, zinc supplementation [12] can help to stabilize cortisol levels and raise your mood [13].Potassium. Studies have shown that potassium plays an important role in helping to regulate blood pressure [14].GABA. GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that naturally occurs in the body. It works as a neurotransmitter in the brain by attaching to GABA receptors (a protein in the brain) to produce a calming effect.As such, it can help reduce anxiety, stress and fear and also help with sleep [15].Lemon Balm. Lemon balm can help to reduce anxiety and symptoms of stress which helps you to relax more easily [16].A study showed that laboratory-induced psychological stress was eased when taking lemon balm and those who took the lemon balm self reported increased calmness and alertness [17].Passionflower. Passionflower (P. incarnata) is a herb that is thought to help lessen symptoms of insomnia [18] and reduce anxiety [19].It potentially does this by boosting the levels of GABA in your brain.Oat Straw. Oat straw has been used traditionally as a natural remedy to help relieve anxiety, depression and stress [20].It is thought to do this by inhibiting PDE4 (enzyme phosphodiesterase type 4), which in doing so could help relieve stress and anxiety [21].Introducing Feel Younger® Serenity Anti-Stress SupportWe understand that it’s not always easy, nor practical to implement a variety of lifestyle changes - especially all at once.We’d advise that you make as many of those changes as possible, but do so 1 or 2 at a time, make sure they stick and then move onto more.In the meantime, you can support your body with the essential nutrients and minerals it needs that can help lower your stress levels.That’s why in addition to the ingredients listed above, we’ve added the following ingredients to our Serenity Anti-Stress Support formula:
Rhodiola Extract - can help to reduce anxieties and combat depress [22]
Lutein - in mice, potentially helped to combat depression by protecting nerves in the hippocampus (a part of the brain responsible for emotions and memory) [23]
Ashwagandha - has been used for centuries as a tonic to help calm nerves. In two studies ashwagandha was shown to improve stress and happiness, while reducing cortisol levels [24]
Chamomile - A study on long-term ingestion of chamomile showed it reduced anxiety [25]
Skullcap - a study showed those who took skullcap daily for 2 weeks reported better mood compared to the placebo group [26]
Hawthorn - is thought to potentially help reduce anxiety [27] and has been used traditionally in chinese medicine to help lower blood pressure [28]
Bacopa - considered an adaptogenic herb (helps the body to adapt to stress), a study on rodents showed bacopa to have anti-anxiety effects similar to certain prescription medications [29]
Magnolia - contains neolignans (a type of polyphenol found in plants) that is believed to have many health benefits, one of which is helping with anxiety [30]
Valerian - A study on hemodialysis patients showed valerian significantly improved anxiety, stress and mood compared to a placebo [31]
L-Theanine - A review on people in experiencing stressful situations found that 4 of the 5 trials showed L-theanine to reduce stress and anxiety [32]
Mucuna Pruriens - can help boost dopamine levels (the ‘feel good’ hormone) [33]
St John’s Wort - has ingredients that appear to help regulate and elevate mood by increasing dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and other chemical messengers in the brain [34]
Hops - over a 4 week period, hops appeared to improve self reported symptoms of at least mid anxiety, stress and depression [35]
5 HTP - the precursor to serotonin. Having low serotonin levels can be associated with sleeping problems, anxiety, depression and more [36]
By combining the ingredients listed on this page into an easy to swallow capsule, we’ve taken the stress out of buying each of these ingredients separately, researching and experimenting how much of each you should take and then incorporating them into your diet/supplement regime.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Serenity Anti-Stress Support?For best results, take 2 capsules once a day with a glass of water, 20-30 minutes before a meal.Any Cautions?ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

Feel Younger
Feel Younger - Magnesium Glycinate 425mg 60caps
£19.00
What is Magnesium?Magnesium is an important mineral that’s crucially important for your body to function properly.It’s the fourth most abundant mineral found in your body[2] and it’s essential to all living cells and vital for myriad physiological functions[3].The reason why the benefits are so numerous and varied is because of the many ways that optimal levels of magnesium are necessary to function optimally.For instance, magnesium is required for the production of ATP (the main source of energy in our cells)[4], and the production of DNA, RNA, and proteins[5].Magnesium plays an important role in cell-to-cell communication[6].Over 300 enzymes (biological catalysts that make chemical processes happen in our body) require the presence of magnesium to function properly[7].Because of its positive charge, magnesium stabilizes the cellular membranes[8].How common is magnesium deficiency?While a deficiency severe enough to warrant medical attention is relatively rare, some health professionals believe that suboptimal levels of magnesium are relatively common, with estimates as high as 75% of people in the US not having a sufficient intake,[16] let alone an optimal intake, which has yet to be precisely defined.As with any essential nutrient, here at Feel Younger we believe that it’s always ideal to test your magnesium levels to be sure if it would be beneficial to take.The best tests for Magnesium are generally considered to be: RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium, to get a true understanding of overall deficiency.The more common tests are plasma or serum magnesium, which are much cheaper and easily available, but which are less of a true reflection of your body’s stores of magnesium, as your body will tend to keep your plasma and serum levels in a tight range in all but severe cases of deficiency.RBC (red blood cell) or intracellular magnesium tests, on the other hand, are considered to give a more accurate indication of true, overall levels of magnesium stores in the cells, which is what actually matters when assessing if levels are optimum.If you’re unable to access these tests however, then, given that Magnesium is a natural substance that is very safe for the vast majority of the population (see below for exceptions), it seems reasonable to try it, if you would like to support your body to Feeling Younger and Healthier, especially if you identify with some of the early signs of deficiency listed above.What causes Magnesium Deficiency?The most commonly understood causes of Magnesium Deficiency include[17]:
a poor diet
type 2 diabetes
digestive problems such as Crohn’s disease
long-term vomiting or diarrhoea
kidney problems
long-term use of diuretics
some medicines (for example, fluid tablets and medicines for ulcers or reflux) can cause low magnesium levels if taken for long periods
alcoholism
In addition, some healthcare professionals point to the fact that, even in the case of a relatively good diet, it’s an established fact that the soil in which our food grows is 75%-90% lower in essential minerals like magnesium than it was 100 years ago.[18]So whether you’re eating plants, which can only get the minerals from the soil, or whether you’re eating animals that ate those plants, the results is the same: the food we’re eating is more mineral depleted, and therefore magnesium depleted, than it was up until relatively recently in our evolution.Finally, there is strong evidence that stress itself depletes magnesium[19]. This creates a vicious cycle where stress depletes magnesium, and then lowered magnesium reduces stress. Presumably, in order to break this cycle, you would need to replenish magnesium as well as reduce stress.What’s the Best Form of Magnesium to Take?There are many different forms of magnesium available, including citrate, sulfate, oxide, chloride and malate.However, the form that’s considered the best, the most easily absorbed by the body, is Magnesium Glycinate.Forms of magnesium that are less well absorbed and cheaper, like for instance magnesium oxide, have a laxative effect. As a general rule, the less well absorbed the form of magnesium is, the more of a laxative effect it’ll have.When consuming mineral supplements, the best form is generally considered to be when it’s chelated (chemically bonded) to an amino acid. Why is this? Because minerals in their raw form are inorganic, meaning that the body does not recognise them as food, often doesn’t absorb them well, and then also struggles to excrete them.Conversely, when a mineral is bonded to an amino acid, or chelated, this makes the mineral and Organic Mineral i.e. it’s the same form found in food, and so your body recognises the magnesium as food, and absorbs it a lot better.Magnesium Glycinate then, the type sold by Feel Younger, is considered the best form of magnesium because it’s bonded to Glycine, an abundant amino acid in the body which has a whole host of it’s own benefits[20], including:
Glycine is one of the building blocks of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant, glutathione
Necessary to make collagen, for healthy skin
Can improve sleep quality
Can help keep blood sugar balanced
May protect the liver and the heart
Can protect against muscle loss.
Although Glycine is not considered as an essential amino acid, because the body is capable of making its own, if necessary, many healthcare professionals consider it a good idea to increase glycine intake, either through natural foods like bone broth, or via supplementation.Feel Younger is proud to present our Magnesium Glycinate, containing 425mg of Elemental Magnesium per serving, which is close to the recommended daily amount for most people, enough to make up for the shortfall in almost any diet.How do you take Feel Younger ® Magnesium Glycinate?Ideally take with water directly before eating a meal, for maximum absorption, but can be taken any time, or as directed by a healthcare professional.Are there any cautions?Though magnesium supplements are generally considered safe, you should check with a healthcare professional before taking them, especially if you have a medical condition.The mineral supplement may be unsafe for people who take certain diuretics, heart medications, or antibiotics[21].Most people who take magnesium supplements don’t experience side effects, but magnesium can cause gut-related issues such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, especially when used in large doses[22].It’s important to note that people with kidney issues are at a higher risk of experiencing adverse effects related to magnesium supplements[23].Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle.

Pharma Nord
Pharma Nord Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH 30mg - 60 caps
£19.95
Q10 Ubiquinol is also known as Pharma Nord's Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH. Contains coenzyme Q10 in its reduced form ubiquinol, which may benefit elderly people or individuals with impaired digestion who are less able to absorb supplemental Q10 in its ubiquinone form.Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH contains vitamin C that contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Why Pharma Nord Bio-Ubiquinol Actve QH:
Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
Only ubiquinol formula with guaranteed stability.
Reference product for the International Coenzyme Q10 Association.
Patented oil-based preparation for maximum absorption.
Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring, vitamin-like substance that plays a key role in the body’s energy supply process.
Every cell within the body requires a constant supply of energy to survive and function - without this constant energy supply the cells die.
Different tissues within the body may have particular energy requirements to function optimally- a good example is muscle tissue, which has an extremely high-energy requirement during physical exertion. Without an adequate energy supply in such circumstances, individuals may feel tired and lacking motivation to undertake physical exercise. This can even affect how we feel when carrying out daily tasks.
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is required to convert sugars and fats from food into energy, in the form of a specific molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process takes place in specialized structures within cells called mitochondria.
Some coenzyme Q10 is manufactured within the body, with the remainder being obtained from the diet. As individuals age, the body is less able to maintain optimal levels of coenzyme Q10. In addition, coenzyme Q10 levels are depleted by lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as by physical exertion or by illness.
Dietary supplementation can help to maintain optimal levels of coenzyme Q10 within the body.
Coenzyme Q10 occurs in two forms;
Ubiquinone (oxidised form).
Q10 Ubiquinone is also known as Pharma Nord’s Bio-Quinone Q10. Most people are able to absorb supplemental Q10 in this form adequately.
Ubiquinol (reduced form).
Q10 Ubiquinol is also known as BioActive Q10. Certain categories of people may be less able to absorb the ubiquinone form. These include the elderly, as well as people with liver disease, pancreatic disease, digestive disorders such as IBS, and following digestive tract surgery. For such categories of people, Q10 is more easily absorbed in the reduced (ubiquinol) form, as BioActive Q10.
Ubiquinol is extremely sensitive to the effects of air and light. Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH contains ubiquinol Q10 in a stabilised form, using specially developed lightproof and air-proof packaging to prevent oxidation via a unique patented process. The manufacturing process ensures complete dissolution of the Q10 crystals in an oil blend that is encapsulated in light-proof gelatine caps and blister-packed.
Pharma Nord is able to guarantee the stability of this product during the whole of the product shelf life.
Inferior brands of Q10 sold in tablet form and in jars cannot guarantee the bio-availability of the active ingredients within.
Pharma Nord recommends 1-3 capsules per day of Q10 ubiquinol supplements, or as directed by a physician. Preferably taken in split doses and best taken with food to enhance absorption.
Coenzyme Q10 has been subject to over 1000 clinical studies, with no contraindications reported. There are over 70 studies featuring Bio-Quinone Q10, which is a reference product for the International Q10 Association.
Pregnant or lactating women and those on medication should consult a doctor before using any product.
Safety
Pharma Nord manufacture all of their products to pharmaceutical standards and adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice. This is a guarantee of safety and efficacy.
The safety of ubiquinol has been demonstrated in a clinical study reported by Hosoe et al (2007): Study on the safety and bio-availability of ubiquinol after single and 4-week multiple oral administration to healthy volunteers. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol; 47(1): 19-28.
ohn Farrell | 22/12/2015
I decided to start taking CoQ10 largely because I was on so much medication for my diabetes and blood pressure. I was concerned that my age and the medication were both interfering with my body's ability to generate CoQ10, so I decided to be proactive about it and went on 300 mg/day of Ubiquinol. I no longer feel as tired. I have a lot more energy. My mouth feels better, with no gum disease. I am sure that the CoQ10 has helped lower my blood pressure to some extent and my leg cramps have improved too. I feel that my natural immunity has been boosted and that will be due to the ongoing antioxidant action of the CoQ10. My cholesterol is well controlled with not a statin in sight. I feel a lot happier about my heart in respect of a reduced likelihood of cardiac events resulting from diabetes.
Joan Freeman | 17/08/2015
Q10 for me has been like a miracle. I was born with a hole in my heart. I went from being told there was nothing that could be done for me as I was too complicated to where I am now. As a nine year old child my parents were told that I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 12 years of age and would most likely not reach 21 without heart surgery which in 1955 was in its infancy. I believe I was the second in the UK to have an open heart operation. Here I am 70 years of age. I was told as a young married woman I must not entertain having children, I have three and my second pregnancy was twins. I suffered from breathlessness and tiredness but since taking Pharma Nord's Q10 this has improved. All I can say is I thank The LORD for the day I spoke to whoever it was I spoke to on the telephone from Pharma Nord in 2009.
Rosemary Laidlaw | 17/04/2014
Multivits has an excellent choice of vitamins and minerals. I swear by Pharma Nord's Ubiquinol version of Co Enzyme Q10. It is the most expensive of the Q10 range but there is a school of thought that as we age we need a product with the best absorbency. I prefer to believe this to be true hence I continue to purchase the product and was so relieved it was on a recent offer. My husband used to be on Statins which I used to give him Q10 to put back the enzyme that product took out. Finally after years of many battles with the medical profession, doctor's are finally seeing the true light re that medication.
Mr A M Spear | 18/11/2013
This will be my second month of taking COQ10, and the amount of benefit has been unsurpassable. Taking C0Q10 has really given me an added boost to my health and well being.
Beatrice Martin | 08/10/2013
I have started to take co q10 for a month and i am beginning to feel better not so anxious. I knew nothing about co q10 until my son went to the opticians and was told co q10 is good for eyesight.
Jason Eastham | 16/08/2013
Taken for 1 month. Felt improvements in energy on some days but may be because of being only 30mg!
Elaine Green | 29/05/2013
I've been taking Q10 Ubiquinol for 6 months or more and I felt I had a spring in my step from the moment I started using this product; I feel I have more energy and the fact that it protects my heart is a definite bonus. Its amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Lian Renaud | 24/05/2013
I suffered from muscle and back pain for many years. I was then prescribed statins, which caused muscle paralysis and muscle waste. Doctors advice was continue with the statins, thinking perhaps the doctor knew best I took one more tablet, I was horrendously ill and then had months of pain. My friend is a Treger practitioner recommended CO Q 10 Ubiquinol, I didn't fully believe the claims but I trusted my friend. Four and a half days later a lot of the pain lifted, and I slept through the nights. Another friend had serious back pain and took CO Q 10 Ubiquinol, she is over the moon as four and a half days later most pain has gone. I was dubious as I saw many claims for wonder remedies,but I feel extremely lucky that I now have a future without the terrible pain I experienced for some three years or more. I am grateful to Treger and Pharma Nord. Pain curtails any enjoyment of life..........but now I have a lot of restored energy and hope......that's the best and least expected benefit ever. I recommend Both Treger and Pharma Nord CO Q 10 unreservedly.
Patricia Gooch | 26/04/2013
This is certainly the most superior product to be found on the market. The delivery was prompt and well presented. I always order my vitamins from Pharma Nord because it is so dependable
Raymond Finlay | 19/04/2013
Finding a noticable improvement in reduction of joint pain after being on Q10 for the last 3 months
Fergal | 19/04/2013
Ubiquinol Q10 is just fantastic. I am over fifty and find that it has quickly restored my energy levels and reduced my blood pressure that was beginning to climb a little above normal. I ran out of them recently and was without any for three days and noticed my energy levels fall right back to where they were before - I would highly recommend them - especially with the selenium to ensure continued cardiovascular health. Expensive but really well worth it in the end.
colin j lomax | 19/04/2013
i'm 66 yrs old and i've got to say q10 as certainly increased my energy levels enabling me to go the gym daily and enjoy walking
Graham | 19/04/2013
Over 50 & on statins the tiredness, aches & pains were inevitable but 2 100mg Q10 Ubiquinol per day and the energy levels are back where they should be. Pharma Nord's Bioactive Q10 is not the cheapest but in my view the best I have tried, Quality costs & my health is priceless to me.
Mairead Welby | 18/04/2013
I started taking 100mg Bio Active Q10 ubiquinol about 4 months ago i noticed after about 2 weeks my energy had improved so much. I then noticed that a vein in my leg which was causing me alot of discomfort and fluid retention was no longer painful and fluid retention was no longer a problem. I am def. going keep taking this product it is truly amazing.
Alan Garner | 18/04/2013
I have read many good reports praising BioActive Q10 Ubiquinol and can confirm that I am feeling the benefits along with reduced blood pressure results that are now more acceptable for a 74 year old.
chris | 18/04/2013
as an aging builder energy levels were declining so i tried 100mg Ubiquinol and have been pleased with the results,good for your heart too
Gary Davis | 18/04/2013
I've taken Q10 for a while now and, when I forgot to reorder, I do notice.
John S | 18/04/2013
I am 58 and do a lot of hill walking but last year suddenly found my energy just collasped. I tried several things but the only one that worked was bioActive Q10 Ubiquinol. After taking it for 3 weeks I found the energy and stamina returned to normal but it is taking a while to rebuild confidence. Will keep taking it from now on. The effect seems subtle but very powerful.

I am 54 and a few years ago a virus affected my heart muscle and I collapsed during a hospital exercise test at heart rate 130 bpm and was told by a consultant cardiologist not to exercise. I am now recovered and have been taking 100mg Q10 Ubiquinol daily for 18 months which gives me the energy to walk long distances, run competively, and play tennis. I also now row competively and the Concept 2 ergos (rowing machines), which don't lie, tell me that my energy and fitness levels compare with club members 20 years younger! I know that the extra energy comes from the daily 100mg Ubiquinol Q10, and it also lowers my blood pressure. I can't rate this product highly enough. With many supplements you can't feel the difference - with Ubiquinol Q10 you really can. I ran 4.5 miles this morning at 70% of my max heart rate and am just off to the rowing club for UT1 ergo training! I would not be without Ubiquinol Q10.

I was recommended ubiquinol BioActive Q10 by a health professional for my heart. I can't tell if its doing anything great for my heart but I was shocked when my gums stopped bleeding (they have bled all my adult life). When I went to see my dentist they were amazed how good my gums were looking too. On top of all that I have more energy and am not as fatigued as I used to be. So all in all I say go for it and give them a try - you owe it to yourself to at least try them and see.

I have been taking Q10 and subsequently Ubiquinol for approximately 18 months. I found that it actually appears to have stablised my blood pressure which was high even though I was taking medication. I also feel I have more energy when taking Ubiquinol as if I stop taking the tablets for a week or more I feel tired more quickly.

My parents about 86 years old ,they take 2 capsules of 100 mg BioActive Q10 everyday for their hearts and energy. They look well, happy and have a good mood. I considered that they should take the capsules continually.
Linda Letford | 27/04/2012
I am absolutely thrilled with Ubiquinol. I have had chronic fatigue for several years now and it has given me back my energy to live my life, and a side effect is that my migraines have much reduced in frequency and intensity
Buzzardman | 27/04/2012
I take 2 30mg Ubiquinol per day as I understand that q10 production diminishes as we get older. I lead an active life and hope to continue for as long as possible. I cannot say that I feel any different but I treat it as insurance for my heart.
Sean | 26/04/2012
I started taking 100mg of BioActive Q10 Ubiquinol some months ago and right from the first capsule it worked for me. The best way I can describe It is, it was like a switch been turned on with the lovely feeling I got of calm and serinity. So I would not be without my Ubiquinol every day.

£34.99
Q10 Ubiquinol is also known as Pharma Nord's Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH. Contains coenzyme Q10 in its reduced form ubiquinol, which may benefit elderly people or individuals with impaired digestion who are less able to absorb supplemental Q10 in its ubiquinone form.Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH contains vitamin C that contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Why Pharma Nord Bio-Ubiquinol Actve QH:
Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
Only ubiquinol formula with guaranteed stability.
Reference product for the International Coenzyme Q10 Association.
Patented oil-based preparation for maximum absorption.
Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring, vitamin-like substance that plays a key role in the body’s energy supply process.
Every cell within the body requires a constant supply of energy to survive and function - without this constant energy supply the cells die.
Different tissues within the body may have particular energy requirements to function optimally- a good example is muscle tissue, which has an extremely high-energy requirement during physical exertion. Without an adequate energy supply in such circumstances, individuals may feel tired and lacking motivation to undertake physical exercise. This can even affect how we feel when carrying out daily tasks.
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is required to convert sugars and fats from food into energy, in the form of a specific molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process takes place in specialized structures within cells called mitochondria.
Some coenzyme Q10 is manufactured within the body, with the remainder being obtained from the diet. As individuals age, the body is less able to maintain optimal levels of coenzyme Q10. In addition, coenzyme Q10 levels are depleted by lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as by physical exertion or by illness.
Dietary supplementation can help to maintain optimal levels of coenzyme Q10 within the body.
Coenzyme Q10 occurs in two forms;
Ubiquinone (oxidised form).
Q10 Ubiquinone is also known as Pharma Nord’s Bio-Quinone Q10. Most people are able to absorb supplemental Q10 in this form adequately.
Ubiquinol (reduced form).
Q10 Ubiquinol is also known as BioActive Q10. Certain categories of people may be less able to absorb the ubiquinone form. These include the elderly, as well as people with liver disease, pancreatic disease, digestive disorders such as IBS, and following digestive tract surgery. For such categories of people, Q10 is more easily absorbed in the reduced (ubiquinol) form, as BioActive Q10.
Ubiquinol is extremely sensitive to the effects of air and light. Bio-Ubiquinol Active QH contains ubiquinol Q10 in a stabilised form, using specially developed lightproof and air-proof packaging to prevent oxidation via a unique patented process. The manufacturing process ensures complete dissolution of the Q10 crystals in an oil blend that is encapsulated in light-proof gelatine caps and blister-packed.
Pharma Nord is able to guarantee the stability of this product during the whole of the product shelf life.
Inferior brands of Q10 sold in tablet form and in jars cannot guarantee the bio-availability of the active ingredients within.
Pharma Nord recommends 1-3 capsules per day of Q10 ubiquinol supplements, or as directed by a physician. Preferably taken in split doses and best taken with food to enhance absorption.
Coenzyme Q10 has been subject to over 1000 clinical studies, with no contraindications reported. There are over 70 studies featuring Bio-Quinone Q10, which is a reference product for the International Q10 Association.
Pregnant or lactating women and those on medication should consult a doctor before using any product.
Safety
Pharma Nord manufacture all of their products to pharmaceutical standards and adhere to Good Manufacturing Practice. This is a guarantee of safety and efficacy.
The safety of ubiquinol has been demonstrated in a clinical study reported by Hosoe et al (2007): Study on the safety and bio-availability of ubiquinol after single and 4-week multiple oral administration to healthy volunteers. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol; 47(1): 19-28.

I decided to start taking CoQ10 largely because I was on so much medication for my diabetes and blood pressure. I was concerned that my age and the medication were both interfering with my body's ability to generate CoQ10, so I decided to be proactive about it and went on 300 mg/day of Ubiquinol. I no longer feel as tired. I have a lot more energy. My mouth feels better, with no gum disease. I am sure that the CoQ10 has helped lower my blood pressure to some extent and my leg cramps have improved too. I feel that my natural immunity has been boosted and that will be due to the ongoing antioxidant action of the CoQ10. My cholesterol is well controlled with not a statin in sight. I feel a lot happier about my heart in respect of a reduced likelihood of cardiac events resulting from diabetes.

Q10 for me has been like a miracle. I was born with a hole in my heart. I went from being told there was nothing that could be done for me as I was too complicated to where I am now. As a nine year old child my parents were told that I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 12 years of age and would most likely not reach 21 without heart surgery which in 1955 was in its infancy. I believe I was the second in the UK to have an open heart operation. Here I am 70 years of age. I was told as a young married woman I must not entertain having children, I have three and my second pregnancy was twins. I suffered from breathlessness and tiredness but since taking Pharma Nord's Q10 this has improved. All I can say is I thank The LORD for the day I spoke to whoever it was I spoke to on the telephone from Pharma Nord in 2009.

Multivits has an excellent choice of vitamins and minerals. I swear by Pharma Nord's Ubiquinol version of Co Enzyme Q10. It is the most expensive of the Q10 range but there is a school of thought that as we age we need a product with the best absorbency. I prefer to believe this to be true hence I continue to purchase the product and was so relieved it was on a recent offer. My husband used to be on Statins which I used to give him Q10 to put back the enzyme that product took out. Finally after years of many battles with the medical profession, doctor's are finally seeing the true light re that medication.

This will be my second month of taking COQ10, and the amount of benefit has been unsurpassable. Taking C0Q10 has really given me an added boost to my health and well being.
Beatrice Martin | 08/10/2013
I have started to take co q10 for a month and i am beginning to feel better not so anxious. I knew nothing about co q10 until my son went to the opticians and was told co q10 is good for eyesight.
Jason Eastham | 16/08/2013
Taken for 1 month. Felt improvements in energy on some days but may be because of being only 30mg!
Elaine Green | 29/05/2013
I've been taking Q10 Ubiquinol for 6 months or more and I felt I had a spring in my step from the moment I started using this product; I feel I have more energy and the fact that it protects my heart is a definite bonus. Its amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Lian Renaud | 24/05/2013
I suffered from muscle and back pain for many years. I was then prescribed statins, which caused muscle paralysis and muscle waste. Doctors advice was continue with the statins, thinking perhaps the doctor knew best I took one more tablet, I was horrendously ill and then had months of pain. My friend is a Treger practitioner recommended CO Q 10 Ubiquinol, I didn't fully believe the claims but I trusted my friend. Four and a half days later a lot of the pain lifted, and I slept through the nights. Another friend had serious back pain and took CO Q 10 Ubiquinol, she is over the moon as four and a half days later most pain has gone. I was dubious as I saw many claims for wonder remedies,but I feel extremely lucky that I now have a future without the terrible pain I experienced for some three years or more. I am grateful to Treger and Pharma Nord. Pain curtails any enjoyment of life..........but now I have a lot of restored energy and hope......that's the best and least expected benefit ever. I recommend Both Treger and Pharma Nord CO Q 10 unreservedly.

This is certainly the most superior product to be found on the market. The delivery was prompt and well presented. I always order my vitamins from Pharma Nord because it is so dependable

Finding a noticable improvement in reduction of joint pain after being on Q10 for the last 3 months
Fergal | 19/04/2013
Ubiquinol Q10 is just fantastic. I am over fifty and find that it has quickly restored my energy levels and reduced my blood pressure that was beginning to climb a little above normal. I ran out of them recently and was without any for three days and noticed my energy levels fall right back to where they were before - I would highly recommend them - especially with the selenium to ensure continued cardiovascular health. Expensive but really well worth it in the end.
colin j lomax | 19/04/2013
i'm 66 yrs old and i've got to say q10 as certainly increased my energy levels enabling me to go the gym daily and enjoy walking
Graham | 19/04/2013
Over 50 & on statins the tiredness, aches & pains were inevitable but 2 100mg Q10 Ubiquinol per day and the energy levels are back where they should be. Pharma Nord's Bioactive Q10 is not the cheapest but in my view the best I have tried, Quality costs & my health is priceless to me.
Mairead Welby | 18/04/2013
I started taking 100mg Bio Active Q10 ubiquinol about 4 months ago i noticed after about 2 weeks my energy had improved so much. I then noticed that a vein in my leg which was causing me alot of discomfort and fluid retention was no longer painful and fluid retention was no longer a problem. I am def. going keep taking this product it is truly amazing.
Alan Garner | 18/04/2013
I have read many good reports praising BioActive Q10 Ubiquinol and can confirm that I am feeling the benefits along with reduced blood pressure results that are now more acceptable for a 74 year old.
chris | 18/04/2013
as an aging builder energy levels were declining so i tried 100mg Ubiquinol and have been pleased with the results,good for your heart too
Gary Davis | 18/04/2013
I've taken Q10 for a while now and, when I forgot to reorder, I do notice.
John S | 18/04/2013
I am 58 and do a lot of hill walking but last year suddenly found my energy just collasped. I tried several things but the only one that worked was bioActive Q10 Ubiquinol. After taking it for 3 weeks I found the energy and stamina returned to normal but it is taking a while to rebuild confidence. Will keep taking it from now on. The effect seems subtle but very powerful.
