HeartLight is
designed specifically to improve cardiovascular health, works as an antioxidant,
and gives other healthful benefits.
It is a combination of CoEnzymeQ10, L-Carnitine,
Vitamin E, Hawthorn flower and leaf extract, and Aulterra. This is a very powerful
combination that can increase the utilization of precious CoQ10 in the body three
fold.
The synergistic
combination of L-Carnitine and CoQ10 is closely linked to the role they play
in the biochemistry of energy. Both are naturally occurring substances that are
found in virtually all cells of the human body. They represent two of the most
important factors in metabolic energy enhancement. Their combination not only
supports the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, but also provides
and supports the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy transport
molecule. A deficiency of L-Carnitine and CoQ10 are deficiencies in energy.
Some Benefits
a CoQ10 and L-Carnitine Combination Can Provide
Cardiovascular Health:
- Strengthens
heart muscle and contractibility
- Protects
against hypoxia
- Relieves
angina and hypertension
- Improves
tolerance to exercise and increases endurance
- Protection
against ischemia
- Reduce damage
caused by myocardial infarction
As an Antioxidant:
- Protects
against cellular oxidative damage from free radicals
- Corrects
Vitamin E deficiency
- Protects
against the adverse effects of drugs, especially adrianycin (used in cancer treatment)
tricyclic anti-depressants, and beta-blockers
- Improved
immunity, especially in its decline from aging
- Periodontal
(gum) disease
Other Possible Health Benefits from Coenzyme Q10:
- Increased
metabolic energy through increased production of ATP
- Decreased
Muscular dystrophies symptoms
- Reduced
Hearing and Equilibrium Impairments
- Weight Loss
including cellulite reduction
- Decreased
Diabetes symptoms
As we age,
the production of both CoQ10 and L-Carnitine decrease and relative deficiencies
may appear over time. Although abundant in grains, legumes, and most meat, CoQ10
is often destroyed through processing and cooking. L-Carnitine, while available
in meats, must be synthesized by the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine,
and B1, B6, niacin, vitamin C and iron.
L-Carnitine
is used by the body to transport long chain fatty acids to the mitochondria in
your cells, where it is burned for energy. Since this fat burning is such a major
source of muscular energy, deficiencies in L-Carnitine are manifested as low
energy levels and muscular weakness. They can also appear as mental confusion
or cloudiness, angina (heart pain) and weight gain. Since the only dietary source
of L-Carnitine is meat, vegans and vegetarians, especially athletic vegetarians,
are most susceptible to L-Carnitine deficiency.
Coenzyme
Q10 sparks the mitochondrial energy production that runs all vital body functions.
Thus, processes such as the mechanical beating of the heart and the electrical
spiking of the brain must go on continually to preserve the body and the cells
of the body. Energy must continually generate energy to support these processes.
This steady stream of energy for the "higher-level" body processes depends absolutely
on each cell’s having adequate levels of CoQ10 with which to provide this
energy.
The body’s
manufacture of CoQ10 is a complex and demanding process. It takes place in the
liver, and at least three different classes of starting molecules are required,
at least 15 different reactions are necessary (each catalyzed by an enzyme),
as well as a large number of cofactor substances. This makes CoQ10 expensive
for the body to produce, in that all the component parts must be available in
sufficient quantities at the same time.
The reason
CoQ10 and L-Carnitine are so beneficial to the heart is that it increases the
energy in the muscles of the heart so it becomes more efficient. As we age, the
body’s digestion capabilities diminish and the metabolism of fuels becomes
significantly less efficient. One of the major contributing factors in excessive
fatigue in the elderly is the lack of CoQ10 in the cells of the body. The body
no longer has sufficient energy to make the energy!
Quite
simply, L-Carnitine delivers the fuel and CoQ10 helps burn it. By combining them
together, the utilization of CoQ10 increases significantly, up to three times
the effectiveness.
This product
is very reasonably priced, also when you consider buying both CoQ10 and L-Carnitine.
