Super-soluble CoEnzymeQ10 with organic Germanium 132
Ge-ProCoQ10-Max is the most powerful, affordable and absorbable CoQ10 as proven in the latest in CoQ10 science—NEW to US markets. May be up to 18 times better absorbed and utilized than regular CoQ10 and at least twice as absorbable as the used-to-be newest and best quinols.*
Human trials show that taking ProCoQ10 results in 18 times higher serum levels of CoQ10 than standard CoQ10. The solubility and absorbability of the CoQ10 in ProCoQ10 has been greatly increased through using "ester science" that gets the nutrients through the digestive system and into your cells. Other human clinical trials show that at just 30mg a day, ProCoQ10 reduced daily DNA damage in humans by 51%, and shrank human skin wrinkles in 6 weeks.
Each capsule of Ge-ProCoQ10-Max supplies 200 mg of CoQ10. This is equivalent to 3,600 mg of the usual CoQ10. An amazingly high amount. In addition you get 50 mg of Organic Germanium-132. Germanium-132 is greatly important in Ge-ProCoQ10-Max because it dramatically improves cellular oxygen levels. Organic Germanium-132 is an oxygen-rich organic form of trace mineral germanium which has been studied for its antiviral, immuno-stimulative and free-radical scavenging actions, and for supporting improved oxygen utilization. (More on Germanium below.)
In addition, each capsule supplies 390 mg of Soluble Rice Bran Complex (SRBC) which is 100% usable and absorbable, with a full spectrum and balance of health-restoring nutrients that man-made supplements can never provide. It is completely digestible because only the soluble part of the stabilized rice germ and bran is used. When you take just one capsule you receive the equivalent nutrition of 1/8 pound of ordinary brown rice, without all the starch.
This nutritious Rice Complex strongly supports maximum absorption of ProCoQ10—and further enhances its far-ranging benefits. SRBC provides a broad range of antioxidants including tocotrienols, which have been found to be six thousand times more effective than vitamin E. Also natural B-Vitamins that boost energy and stamina and help stabilize blood sugar including Pangamic Acid (B-15). SRBS is a natural source of CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Squalene and IP6, each of which is a well-researched nutrient. For this reason SRBC is an ideal synergistic ingredient in our Ge-ProCoQ10 blend.
CoQ10 is a "conditionally essential nutrient", since the body does not make enough to meet the needs under certain conditions. It maintains energy levels and is an excellent antioxidant. CoQ10 production in the body slows down as we age, starting in our 20s. In addition, there are many stress and disease conditions under which CoQ10 status is further compromised. Tissues and organs with high-energy requirements such as the heart, liver, skeletal muscle pancreas, and kidney are ones most affected when CoQ10 supply becomes low (Ernster and Dallner, 1995).
CoQ10 is highly concentrated in heart muscle due to its high energy requirements. For the past 20 years, much of the clinical research with CoQ10 has focused on heart disease. For instance, congestive heart failure (from a wide variety of causes) has been strongly correlated with low blood and tissue levels of CoQ10. Indeed, the greater the CoQ10 deficiency the greater the severity of heart failure (16). CoQ10 deficiency is thought to play a role in all types of heart muscle dysfunction and thus appears to be a major treatable factor in the recovery and maintenance of heart health.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiomyopathy are among the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the US. Deficiencies of Co-Q10 and associated cardiovascular function have been documented since the 1970s. With low levels of CoQ10, the heart muscle is in a constant energy deficit – and thus its pumping power is weakened. Hard working muscle such as heart tissue is extremely vulnerable to low Co-Q10 concentration. It simply cannot perform without its energy-producing capacity intact.
In trials involving patients with weak heart muscle (idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy). CoQ10 was added to previous treatments for heart failure such as ACE inhibitors, digitalis preparations (Lanoxin), and fluid pills (diuretics). Some trials involved the comparison between supplemental CoQ10 and placebo on heart function as measured by echocardiography. CoQ10 was given orally in divided doses at mealtime. Heart function (the fraction of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat - the ejection fraction), showed a gradual and sustained improvement in tempo with a gradual and sustained improvement in symptoms of fatigue, palpitations and chest pain, and in some cases, the degree of improvement was dramatic including patients developing normal heart size and function on CoQ10 alone. The most dramatic reversals were with patients who began CoQ10 early after congestive heart failure onset. With more established disease, patients showed improvement but not a return to normal heart size and function.
As mentioned above, CoQ10 levels drop with age - ability to absorb CoQ10 from food also decreases. Researchers now recommend that even with diets high in CoQ10, like spinach, eggs and fish, supplemental high quality CoQ10 can be a life saver. Even younger adults can benefit with CoQ10 – supporting gum and heart health most noticeably.
Over the past three decades, CoEnzymeQ10 has proven itself as a remarkable transformative nutrient. Just do a simple internet search on CoQ10 and Cancer or any other degenerative condition and see the world research for yourself. We like to highlight some recent cancer research at the University of Miami Medical School. Here's a direct quote from their website: "We saw evidence that the remarkable reduction in cell growth was due to apoptosis, showing that CoQ10 restored the ability of the cancer cells to kill themselves." You can read this entire article.
Dr. Karl Folkers found that in 83 patients suffering growths in the pancreas, colon, breasts, lungs, prostate, stomach and other sites, all registered low CoQ10 levels. In another reported in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research, Dr. Lockwood treated 32 "high risk" patients with growths in their breasts. At 2 years, all survived when normally six deaths would’ve been expected at this stage. Dr. Lockwood reported positive results in over 7,000 cases.
CoQ10 and Neurodegeneration
Dr. Sinatra reports in The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon – Co Q10 may be beneficial for brain and nerve cells by preventing the depletion of ATP at the same time as exerting an antioxidant effect. One study of 80 patients with early signs of tremors, rigidity, and loss of posture control, showed increased levels of CoQ10 caused significant slowing of the progression of symptoms. And a small study published in the Lancet showed CoQ10 and other nutrients prevented the progression of mental deterioration with memory loss, for 1.5 to 2 years.
Other Roles of CoQ10
Mitochondria are the "energy generators" in each and every cell in the body. CoQ10 serves as a critical cofactor for at least three mitochondrial enzymes (called complexes I, II and III), that enable ongoing energy production through the synthesis of ATP, the energy that drives all cellular activities and without which cells cease to function (Crane, 2001).
CoQ10 is also an essential fat-soluble network antioxidant (it can regenerate and recycle other antioxidants). CoQ10 is also a membrane stabilizer. Among the other functions of CoQ10 are cell signaling and gene expression (Ernster and Dallner, 1995; Rauchova et al, 1995; Crane, 2000; Crane 2001).
CoQ10 has an excellent safety record. It should be noted that CoQ10 is not a foreign substance but a naturally occurring nutrient that is synthesized in the body. Long-term safety of high dose CoQ10 supplementation has been very well documented in both animals and humans (Langsjoen et al, 1990; Lampertico and Comis, 1993; Baggio et al, 1993, 1994; Sinatra, 1998; Williams et al, 1999).
Germanium has been described as one of the greatest secrets in the field of nutritional medicine.
Germanium-132, or bis-beta-carboxyethyl germanium sesquioxide, is also known as Ge-132. High levels of this mineral are found in ginseng, garlic, comfrey, and watercress. Ge-132 has been extensively studied for its immuno-stimulatory and other health benefits. Ge-132 has no known toxicity.
In the body, Germanium greatly enriches oxygen availability. It raises the efficiency of organs by enabling them to attract more oxygen and helps expel harmful pollutants and pathogens as well. Germanium has a normalizing effect on blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improves the health of the arteries.
Germanium has been shown to have both antitumor and antiviral effects. These may be a result of its varying immunological actions, such as stimulating interferon production, stimulating macrophage ("Pac-man" white cells) and NK (natural killer) lymphocyte activity, and enhancing cell-mediated immunity. In animal studies, Ge-132 stimulated production of gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) and activation of macrophages and natural killer cells [1, 5, 6]. In humans, Ge-132 has been claimed to affect T- and B-cell function, natural killer proliferation, and other immune functions. [2]
There is some suggestion that Ge-132 helps in pain relief; particularly dramatic relief has occurred in some cases of severe cancer pain.
Researched Benefits of Organic Germanium–132
Ge-132 supplementation seems to reverse the age-related decrease in the germanium content of cells.
In general terms, Germanium helps alleviate:
Angina, Hypertension and in accute Raynaud’s Disease it reduces the incidence of Gangrene, it can block the replication of the HIV virus by stimulating the body’s production of Interferon, increasing the body’s production of Macrophages and NK-Lymphocytes. It helps to suppress some forms of Cancer, inhibits the growth of Candida Albicans, lowers total serum Cholesterol levels, lowers the requirement for Oxygen consumption by Organs, protects against Carbon Monoxide asphyxiation, alleviates various Eye Ailments, retards the progression of Cataracts, alleviates Glaucoma, prevents decreased Bone strength, temporarily alleviates Epilepsy, and effectively alleviates pain.
Aulterra trace minerals added in small quantities to enhance absorption. This is a finely powdered natural paramagnetic and diamagnetic elements from an ancient seabed mineral deposit. Laboratory studies indicate that Aulterra supports the utilization and effectiveness of any substance; including nutraceuticals, herbs, and foodstuff and that Aulterra activates DNA. When DNA is oscillating at optimal efficiency it opens the potential for a constant state of health.
