Co-Q10The results of a clinical trial investigating the effects of Jarrow Formulas Q-absorb, an enhanced-absorption CoQ10 formula, on chronic heart failure patients was published in the European Heart Journal.

Italian scientists from the Lancisi Heart Institute and the University of Ancona (Institute of Biochemistry) measured the effects of 300 mg per day (100 mg T.I.D.) Q-absorb on the cardiovascular functional capacity of 23 heart patients. Measurements including endothelial-dependent vasodilation as measured by ultrasound BART (brachial artery reactivity test), plasma ubiquinone, and other important cardiovascular biochemical parameters. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover clinical trial, the study results proved the efficacy of Q-absorb, as demonstrated by:

 

* Improving functional capacity (peak volume of oxygen consumed VO2)

* Improvement in endothelial -  dependent vasodilation

* Tripling of plasma coenzyme Q10 levels (p<0.0001)

One experiment arm consisted of Chronic Heart Failure patients administered Q-absorb pus a prescribed exercise regimen, which resulted in the greatest gains of plasma Q, with endothelial function being almost normalized. Endothelial function, as measured by the Brachial Artery Reactivity Test, is a non-invasive, preliminary test for cardiovascular disease. The scientists theorized that Q-absorb enhanced the endothelial-dependent vasodialtion by its effects of reducing ROS (reactive oxygen species), thus resulting in the elevation of nitric oxide.

“This study adds significantly to a growing body of evidence that CoQ10 supplementation may be an efficascious complementary method for improving cardiac function in heart failure patients, ” says Kevin Connolly, Ph.D, Director of Scientific Affairs and Product Development at Jarrow Formulas. “It (the study) also validates that our Q-absorb as a successful natural delivery system for QoQ10, an antioxidant that typically exhibits poor bioavailability. Prior to this study, we had invested several years into the development and study of Q-absorb, and we are excited to see it perform so successfully in patients.”

Somatomax - Enhance deep restful sleep and enhance muscle.Somalomaxâ„¢ is a dietary supplement used as a night time formula to enhance natural sleep and to assist the body in the release of natural hormonal compounds. including Growth Hormone (HGH). Somalomaxâ„¢ may also be used in smaller serving amounts as a daytime formula for a feeling of wellbeing, increased energy and to enhance libido and sexual function.

In conjuntion with proper diet and excercise, Somalomax’”" may also contribute to an increase in muscle and a reduction in fat. Clinical studies on Somalomaxâ„¢ significantly stimulates HGH and modulates Cortisol, which may make Somalomaxâ„¢ a particularly effective supplement for athletes desiring to increase muscle mass.

Somalomaxâ„¢ may provide the following benefits:

An All Natural Herbal Sleep Aid

Sleep RxSleep-Rxâ„¢ is an all natural herbal sleep aid that results in eh ability to sleep all through the night and wake up rested, yet without feeling groggy the following morning.

Dr. Timothy Ganinella, chief pharmacologist for Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, formulated Sleep-Rxâ„¢ for the relief of occasional sleeplessness, to promote relaxation without drowsiness, reduce stress ease occasional nervous tension, and reduce occasional sleeplessness. The formula contains numerous, effective ingredients, including imported German valerian root extract standardized to 8% valernic acid (very expensive and nearly ten times more potent than the amount of active valerian root found in typical dietary supplements). This potent extract alone has been shown in Europe to be as effective as the most popular sleep aid for occasional sleeplessness. Its primary mode of action is its sedative properties, resulting from the release gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) from the brain. This inhibitory neurotransmitter has a calming effect and can improve sleep cycles. Its safety has been substantiated in over 200 clinical studies.

A recent study by the Mayo Clinic on another active component in Sleep-Rxâ„¢ showed that it can successfully alleviate many people’s occasional sleeplessness and promote a stage of deep sleep in which most dreaming occurs, called REM sleep. This significant study suggests that for the relief of occasional sleeplessness, Sleep-Rxâ„¢ may be an effective nutraceutical alternative to prescription drug sleep aids.
