Maximize the performance benefits of your protein supplement. Ideal for body builders, runners, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone with an active lifestyle1, Aminolase™ represents a breakthrough in protein nutrition for those using protein supplements or meal replacements to help build or maintain healthy muscle mass and accelerate muscle recovery. (Figure 1) Aminolase™ should be taken with protein rich foods and all protein supplements including the following: whey, milk, casein, soy, pea, rice and hemp. Protein supplements are one of the richest sources of all nine essential amino acids that the body is unable to produce on its own; however all protein must first be processed into a usable form, which includes essential amino acids and beneficial peptides (i.e., Di and Tri-peptides)3. To be effective, protein must be broken down into a smaller particle size within approximately 90 minutes of consumption4. This transit time represents the time from which protein passes from the stomach through the small intestine where digestion/absorption primarily occurs; from there it will be assembled into muscle building protein (a bio-usable form)4. Undigested protein will simply be excreted from the body, resulting in increased kidney stress and wasted amino acids, essentially pouring your expensive protein supplement down the toilet. (Figure 2) Aminolase Suggested Use Suggested Use: Consume 1 capsule of Aminolase™ per 25 grams of protein consumed. Aminolase capsules may also be opened and added directly to your favorite protein supplement. Aminolase is a vegetarian enzyme product which may increase protein bio-availability as much as 1000%. Decreased Stomach Discomfort - An Added Benefit When dietary protein is not broken down into its smallest components, large peptides are created that can cause stomach discomfort such as bloating, nausea and cramping. These symptoms should not be confused with food intolerances; generally, the underlying cause of protein-induced stomach discomfort is peptide sensitivity. Aminolase breaks down these large peptides, reducing the potential for discomfort that often comes from consuming protein supplements or dietary protein. (Figures 3 & 4) C-Reactive Protein (CRP) This study also measured levels of a common marker of inflammation; a protein called C-reactive protein. Elevated levels of this protein in the blood predict the onset of serious illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. Levels of C-reactive protein were measured when the participants consumed only the whey protein drink and again, five days later, when they consumed the whey protein drink with Aminolase™. An increase in C-reactive protein levels was observed for each of the participants when they consumed only the whey protein drink. On the other hand, after consuming the whey protein drink with Aminolase™, a significant decrease in C-reactive protein levels was observed for each individual. These results indicate the ability of Aminolase™ to hydrolyze large amounts of protein, improve the absorption of individual amino acids and significantly reduce inflammation that is associated with undigested proteins. Supplement Facts Acid Stable Protease A patent pending proteolytic enzyme that is capable of digesting every type of consumable protein; protease is responsible for digesting all ingested proteins and is one of the three enzymes found in our body’s natural pancreatic juices. Hundreds of prototypes were developed before the final product was chosen. Aminolase will completely break-down and digest all protein, food or supplement. Amionlase works great with animal and vegetarian dierived proteins. This proprietary blend of proteases is active over a very brough ph range, making it extremely effective in Acid and Alkalain environments.

Kidneys are something few think about until the two small organs force themselves into our consciousness by having something afflict them.  Maintaining kidney health should be a mainstay of our natural health practices as detoxing the liver or keeping the bowels flowing and colonized with good bacteria.  But unfortunately few give the kidneys little thought.     There are kidney “dextoing” products on the market but those are either misnamed kidney support products or outright rip offs as the kidneys don’t store anything, even toxins.  The liver and the body fat are the organs of toxin storage.     The kidneys need to be free flowing, free or low on scar tissue build up and free or low on kidney stone build up.    The kidneys want to be kept at just the right level of hydration.  Too little water and the filtering fingers of the insides of the kidneys, the Glomeruli, dry up and scar over with fibrosis.   Too much water and the kidneys distend which also cause scaring.    Too high a protein intake will cause the excess protein not used by the body to be eliminated through the kidneys and that causes two things; an increased ammonia load that becomes caustic and scar tissue formation.  Also the excess protein combines with calcium and sugar to form kidney stones.    Let’s touch on the ammonia issue.   Urine is ammonia based; anyone who’s been around livestock has smelled the stench of ammonia in cow and horse urine.  It’s no different for humans.   Problem is that ammonia is 9.7 pH, highly alkaline.  Now before you tell me that its good for the body to be alkaline let’s point out the physiological fact that while most of the body want’s to be alkaline at 7+ph because it’s supposed to be seawater inside of us from our tears to our blood to our internal body fluid, the stomach and the kidneys are supposed to be acidic.   They are the only two organs in the body that were designed to be acidic and suffer from not being so.     This is where we get to the first of the positive effects of the Crandiazyme.    Of all the cranberry based supplements Crandiazyme has the strongest cranberry content as the 36 to 1 concentration of cranberries far and away out strips the strength found in weaker cranberry extracts or just straight cranberry powder.   Also, the best functioning cranberry product we’ve found so far contained only 5 mg of actual cranberry extract.    While the Crandiazyme formula is a trade secret it does contain several hundred milligrams of the 36 to 1 cranberry extract per capsule.    Cranberry prevents bacteria from attaching to the renal system in several ways: ·      It changes the fimbriae, the tiny arms bad bacteria use to cling onto a surface, so that they don’t work. (1,2). ·      Further, other chemical properties of cranberries keep the bacteria that don’t have fimbriae from attaching on to surfaces of the urinary tract.   (3).   Next we get to the problems of kidney stones, inflammation and scar tissue.   Natural medicine has been working to dissolve renal calculi with magnesium for decades and that works to a point.  (4).   Magnesium bonds, (chelates), onto the calcium of the stone and flushes the calcium out a bit at a time reducing the size stones over time.    The speed of the reduction is governed by the amount of magnesium taken and the amount of fluid passing through the kidney.    While magnesium is not part of Crandiazyme due to restrictions in the amount of magnesium needed to have the chelating effect and the size of the Crandiazyme capsule, use of a separate strong magnesium supplement will work for this effect.   Systemic enzymes have also been used to both reduce kidney inflammation with out the kidney damage that the anti inflammatory NSAID drugs do cause.   The protein lysing enzymes will also lyse away at the fibrosis / scar tissue that grows impeding the function of the glomeruli in filtering.   Serrapeptase, the superior fibrosis lysing enzyme, is part of the Crandiazyme formula.   (5,6).   So between the magnesium and the proteolytic enzymes what’s left to do?    Kidney deposits and formations have what are called sugar notes and these crystalized sugar formations can also be dealt with using a specific sugar lysing enzyme.  (7).   The study shows that the proteolytic (protein cleaving enzymes), worked better at lysing away those deposits to quote the study:    ‘The combination of dextranase plus protease attenuated all components of glomerular injury as judged by clinical and pathologic parameters”.  (7).   While the dextranase used in the study is super expensive, we put an affordable variant of that enzyme in the Crandiazyme.    Crandiazyme was designed to be used alone as a bladder and kidney health support supplement for its very strong cranberry content, and designed to be used in conjunction with our Zymessence and Magscorbate in addressing more serious renal issues.   Used either way taking the Crandiazyme is a significant step in improving ones kidney health.      References: 1)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranberry_juice 2)   http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080721152005.htm 3)   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20646356 4)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone 5)   http://www.enzymescience.com/Nephrology%20and%20Urology/Glomerulonephritis.htm 6)   http://www.enzymescience.com/Nephrology%20and%20Urology/Renal%20Fibrosis.htm 7)   http://www.enzymescience.com/Nephrology%20and%20Urology/Glomerular%20Immune%20Deposits.htm

If you’d like to… Prevent or Reduce Diarrhea Resolve Constipation Alleviate Symptoms of IBS Help Support The Healthy Bacteria in Your Intestines to improve Digestive Health Restore Your Digestive Tract’s Natural Microbiome After Antibiotics You may want to give our Probiotic 40 Billion with Maktrek® Bi-Pass Technology supplement a try!Probiotics can also potentially give you a whole host of other health benefits, such as: Immune System Support Improved Heart Health Improved Skin Health Improved Nutrient Absorption Improved Weight Loss Reduced Inflammation Reduced Symptoms of Allergies Why is it Important to Support Your Gastrointestinal System?Your gastrointestinal tract (gut) is a long tube that stretches from the mouth, all the way to your anus. It is responsible for 2 extremely important processes in our body. The first process is digestion.No matter how healthy (or not) your diet may be, optimal gut health is important for digestion so that you can absorb nutrients from food efficiently, utilizing the building blocks that you need to maintain your body, as well as efficiently converting the food you eat into energy.The second extremely important process is your immune system. In fact, around 70% of your immune system is in your gut, which means good gut health is essential for optimal immune function to fight off bacteria, viruses and other pathogens that are dangerous to our bodies and can make us unwell.A healthy gut should contain many billions of “good” bacteria which multiply rapidly and create an acidic environment in the intestines so that the “bad” bacteria isn’t able to proliferate. The balance of these bacteria is often referred to as the gut microbiome (referring to microbes that are present in your digestive system).When your gut is not in good health, it will struggle to get rid of toxins (like endotoxin, believed to be a key factor in premature aging [1]) and substances that are left over from metabolic processes (metabolic waste) that must be excreted because they cannot be used by our bodies.What Impacts the Health of Your Gut?Digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, excess gas, abdominal pain, acid reflux and more can develop, but poor gut health can cause inflammation throughout the body, leading to a myriad of different health issues.In fact, ancient traditional modalities of health and healing, like Ayurvedic Medicine, actually believed that ‘all’ ill health had its origins in the gut.The gut is also known as an “extension of the brain” because its walls are lined with a system of neurons that help to govern the function of the gastrointestinal tract, which is known as the intrinsic or enteric nervous system.Again, this was known for thousands of years by Ancient Easters systems like Taoism, the origin of Acupuncture and Chi Kung, who often referred to the gut as the ‘second brain’.Poor gut health has also been linked to the development of autoimmune disorders.There are many things that can damage the health of your gut, such as: Genetic Factors (see Genetic Insights for more info on how your genetics may increase the likelihood of having gut issues.) Poor diet, including excess sugar and processed foods Nutritional Deficiencies Eating in a stressed state, usually leading to eating too quickly and not chewing your food enough Dehydration   GastroIntestinal Dysbiosis, especially SIBO where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine (they are mainly meant to be in the large intestine, even ‘good’ bacteria can cause issues if too many are in the small intestine.) Food intolerances (although these maybe a symptom of gut issues, rather than cause) Frequent Antibiotics Alcohol (along with any other downsides, alcohol kills all bacteria, good and bad, on contact, similar to an antibiotic, which is why it’s used as a disinfectant.) Lack of exercise Smoking Lack of or Poor Quality Sleep Chronic Stress Can You Test The Bacteria in Your Gut?Because your gut microbiome is so important to your overall health [2], it’s important to understand what’s going on, and how your gut is balanced.Microbiome tests can be conducted by your physician or at home. Although some tests use blood or saliva, the most comprehensive microbiome tests will require a stool sample.Your stool sample will be sent to a laboratory to be tested where they will analyze the balance of microbes in your gastrointestinal system.This will help you and your doctor understand if there is an imbalance of microbes that is causing problems to your overall health.We recommend the Biomesight test for giving a very detailed and accurate picture at a very affordable price.The Top 8 Ways to Improve Your Gut Health:Here’s the top 8 changes you can make to your lifestyle to help support and improve your gastrointestinal health: Eat a clean, diverse organic diet full of nutrient dense foods. Processed (especially fast) foods cause harm to your gut microbiome [3].Be sure to include prebiotic foods (a type of fiber that isn’t digested) [4] such as oats, bananas, chicory and asparagus, because they inhibit the growth of certain types of good bacteria. Note: prebiotic foods can make issues worse IF you have too many bacteria in the small intestine. If you suspect this is the case, get the advice of a professional who specializes in gut health.   Eat in a relaxed state, where you will naturally eat slower and chew your food properly. Being in a stressed state is sometimes necessary, but while you are in a stressed state, digestion slows down significantly, and you produce much less of the digestive juices you need to sanitize and process your food, like saliva, stomach acid and bile. You’ll also tend to eat more quickly and not chew enough.So make sure you calm down before you start eating, even if it’s just taking a few deep breaths. This is where the tradition of saying grace comes from: even if you have no religious leanings, you may want to consider it as a way of refocusing your mind to be in a less stressed state, which will help you digest better! And once you’re relaxed, it will be easier to chew your food enough, sometimes as much as 30 times before swallowing, which helps your body to more easily digest the food and absorb as many nutrients as possible [5]. Find out if you’re intolerant to certain foods. Eating foods you're intolerant to will affect your digestive health, resulting in bloating, gas, diarrhea and more [6]. Speak to your physician to organize a skin prick or blood test.Another way to narrow down your intolerances is to record the foods you’ve eaten - be sure to write down how these foods make you feel. Only change one or two things at a time, so that you can easily identify any changes.If you suspect a food, many recommend an elimination diet, where you remove the suspected food for around a week, and then introduce it again, seeing if you notice any symptoms when you add it back into your diet.  Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol can induce changes to the microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, (due to its ability to kill bacteria, but not kill and often feed yeasts such as candida) which can lead to increased oxidative stress amongst other problems [7]. Reduce your stress. Chronic Stress can seriously affect your guts microbiome composition [8].Occasional Stress is healthy, but ongoing stress is not. If you struggle to relax, there are many ways to lower your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products. Improve your sleep. Poor sleep and sleep deprivation can affect your microbiome diversity [9]. Our Sleep Aid Plus can also help, and read the page for more info on how to Sleep better naturally. Drink more water and stay hydrated. This is another way to encourage microbiome diversity [10], and staying hydrated is essential to your overall health, as well as reducing the likelihood of constipation.   Take a probiotic full of live “good” bacteria that can help to boost your gut microbiome: Probiotic Ingredients That Can Increase the Health of Your GutLactobacillus acidophilus. Often referred to as L. acidophilus, lactobacillus acidophilus is a variety of bacteria that can be found in the intestines which is essential for human health [11].Bifidobacterium lactis. Another type of bacteria that can be found in the gut, B.lactis or B. animalis as it is sometimes referred to, helped to prevent cases of acute diarrhea in infants [12].Lactobacillus plantarum. Found mainly in fermented plant foods such as pickles, L. plantarum has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, blood sugar regulatory, anti-weight gain and antioxidant properties. Studies have shown L. plantarum to reduce the incidence of abdominal pain, loose stools and diarrhea associated with antibiotics [13].Fructooligosaccharide. Found in foods such as garlic, onion and blue agave and sometimes referred to as FOS - fructooligosaccharide are prebiotic (compounds in foods that help the growth and activity of microorganisms that are beneficial) and can provide some protection against food-related illnesses such as salmonella [14].Introducing Feel Younger® Probiotic 40 Billion with Maktrek® Bi-Pass TechnologyIn addition to the above ingredients, we’ve added Maktrek’s patented proprietary Bi-Pass Technology.Maktrek is a patented, groundbreaking formula that enables better absorption of probiotics. This is especially important because most probiotics don’t actually absorb efficiently in the digestive tract and are usually just broken down by digestive acids in the stomach.With Maktrek Bi-Pass Technology, the easy to swallow capsule has an added layer of protection that allows the probiotic to travel through the stomach without being broken down. Once in the intestines, the capsule can release the probiotic where your body can use the live bacteria effectively.We 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 the changes listed further up this page as possible, but to 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 essential good bacteria it needs to maintain a healthy gut microbiome.By combining these bacteria into an easy to swallow capsule with Maktrek Bi-Pass Technology, we’ve taken the stress out of using probiotics that can’t efficiently and effectively deliver the bacteria to where it needs to be.Here at Feel younger, we believe in providing strong doses at reasonable prices. Our Probiotic capsules provide a strong and healthy dose of billions of live bacteria, and will cost you no more than $35, with discounts available on multiple bottle and subscription purchases.How Do You Take Feel Younger® Probiotic 40 Billion with Maktrek® Bi-Pass Technology?Take two capsules once a day.DO NOT exceed two capsules a day.Any Cautions?Although rare, some people may experience bloating, gas or constipation when taking probiotics.ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.

GastroDefense™Daily Therapy Proven protection for your GI tract ALL YOU NEED FOR PERFECT GI HEALTH IN ONE CLINICALLY PROVEN FORMULA! Do you take pain medication, such as NSAIDS or aspirin?Do you drink acidic soft drinks, coffee or alcohol?Do you take antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals?Do you live in an area of environmental pollution?Do you have digestion problems?Do you have allergies, auto-immune problems? If the answer to any of these is yes, you need GastroDefense. Pain medication makes holes in your gut. Every time you take an aspirin or as NSAID you bleed. Did you know that some people actually bleed to death from NSAIDs? It can happen. Drinking coffee, sodas or alcohol have similar effects, as does smoking, poor diet or excessive pollution in the environment. GastroDefense is the only dietary supplement proven to heal and repair the damage done by these irritants. That's because GastroDefense contains bovine colostrum, nature's healing miracle. Colostrum is the first food that we enjoy in this life, the first milk produced by the mother. It contains a wealth of immune and growth factors which help the newborn gastrointestinal tract to develop and mature. In adults, it acts to heal the damage caused to the GI tract by our lifestyles and our environment. Leaky Gut SyndromeWhen our gut lining is damaged, the permeability of the gut is affected. Normally this lining lets in what we want to get into our body - nutrients, water, etc. - while keeping out what we don't want to get in - pathogens, toxins, dangerous chemicals. When the lining is damaged, it is not able to keep out everything we want to keep out. Pathogens (disease-causing organisms like viruses, bacteria and fungi) can get in, as can toxins. This causes disease. In fact, many diseases have their origins in the gut. Therefore, it is imperative that we have a healthy, functioning gut lining to protect and maintain our health. GastroDefense contains epidermal and other growth factors that have been proven to heal damaged gut lining and help restore healthy bowel function. GastroDefense also promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, while helping us get rid the gut of harmful bacteria.

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. Miles | 18/04/2013 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. Keith Sheriff | 18/04/2013 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. Doreen | 31/01/2013 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.  Thitimanun | 08/05/2012 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.
