Coenzyme Q10

If you produce less ATP, you're going to be tired.

Oftentimes, statin medications, the cholesterol-lowering medications, will reduce a nutrient called CoQ10.

CoQ10 is an important nutrient for mitochondrial function.

So if you have muscle pain and you're on a statin, you should go back to your primary and say, hey, listen, I don't know why my legs are very sore and very weak, right? If you're on a statin medication, you need to look into that.

And last but not least is hormonal imbalance.

Therefore, they're not getting it into their system, right? So you need proper gut function in order to absorb nutrients.

I find things like CoQ10, vitamin D, vitamin B, all these things can affect mitochondrial function, okay? And lastly, number nine is hormonal balance.

After we cleared gut dysfunction, unstable blood sugar, adrenal, thyroid, anemia, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, and poor mitochondrial function, then you can say, what's left and can we address hormonal imbalances, right? We don't go, we want to address hormones first, right? It's almost always starting in the gut and then working our way out in order to manage these chronic diseases, right? If you look at the statistics in the United States, it's mind boggling, right? 50% of people are overweight, 40% are considered obese, right? One in two will develop some sort of cancer.

Diabetes is like one in three.

I had chronic fatigue, right? I mean, I was walking four or five miles a day and I went to walking 100 feet and then come home and take a nap, right? So really taking that...

the botanicals, the Ayurveda, the traditional Chinese like that we know for centuries has worked and the ingredients like PQQ and glutathione and resvitrol and CoQ10 and all the ingredients that now longevity science is showing us and putting them into one daily formulation.

not just for travel wellness, but for longevity is what I created, right? So here we have it.

We have a Travella and isn't it beautiful, right? Nice.

So really like a very unique blend.

And then the so that's the botanical side and then the bioactive side.

is we have methylated B12, magnesium bisglycinate, CoQ10, glutathione, PQQ, and then resveratrol.

Wow.

You could also throw in some other heart cardiovascular types of support.

So that would be your CoQ10, also known as ubiquinol, omega-3 fatty acids.

There's another product that works really well.

I don't know if this is something you're also experiencing with higher blood pressure known as Formula 303.

We have no proven supplements.

There's some preclinical data that in an IVF population, when we're looking at egg quality, CoQ10 may improve mitochondrial health of the egg cells and so may make IVF potentially more efficient and population of diminished ovarian reserve patients.

But again, this is preclinical, this is a little bit extrapolated.

So I would say if you are just trying to be proactive and you're 25 or 30, we really don't have anything right now that we can do besides not smoking and making sure that you're kind of taking care of your health in every other aspect.

And the way it was basically invented is these two scientists in New Zealand were looking at how mitochondria, of course, start to dysfunction as you get older.

And one of the reasons why they dysfunction is they start making less CoQ10.

And CoQ10 is this endogenous antioxidant that mitochondria make and have a very important role in getting rid of those free radicals in the mitochondria.

But as you get older, and especially if you're having diseases like cardiovascular disease, you have less and less CoQ10, and therefore your mitochondria are getting damaged more and more.

So they were thinking, all right, CoQ10, if you could get into the mitochondria, that'd be great.

But they also knew that if you take an oral CoQ10 supplement, almost none of it went to the mitochondria.

And that's because CoQ10 is a very large molecule and it can't pass through membranes.

So it's usually made in the mitochondria and that's how it can protect you.

Doesn't work for everybody.

Number four is CoQ10.

Remember those little power stations inside your body? CoQ10 works inside them.

It carries tiny particles called electrons from one step to the next.

That movement helps your cells make ATP their usable energy.

Think of people passing something down a line.

Each handoff helps the next step happen.

CoQ10 helps those handoffs.
