Stay calm and live longer

People who are physically active, calm and judicious, and who are able to manage their daily lives, liver longer than those who have a less positive attitude troubled by nervousness, anger or fear. This was concluded by researchers on behalf of a 50-year long observation of American men and women. If you strive after emotional stability and a conscientious and active lifestyle it may help lower your risk of disease, while making you more satisfied with life and - very importantly - increasing your lifespan substantially.

Check this before you buy a Q10 product

Bio-availability and documentation are key points

Check this before you buy a Q10 product

Studies show that the best bio-availability is obtained when the active compound is dissolved in an oil of some sort and encapsulated in soft, light-protected (light destroys Q10) gelatin. There are many products out there that meet these requirements. However, this is not in any way a guarantee that they are absorbed well. The only way to make sure that a product has good bio-availability and is safe for consumption is to contact the manufacturer and ask for documentation for the following:

- that the product is non-crystalline

Q10 as a raw material consists of crystals which are not easily absorbed in the digestive system. It is therefore vital to transform the Q10 raw material to a homogenous and assimilable form that can ensure good bio-availability in the body. This would require the Q10 to be dispersed in oil, just like it would require the manufacturer to be familiar with the technique and patented method employed to change the Q10 molecules into a non-crystalline form.

- that the product is nature-identical

This entails that the Q10 molecules in the product are completely identical with the Q10 that the human body synthesizes in relatively small quantities. The body is not able to distinguish between nature-identical Q10 and the endogenously synthesized Q10.
