Cardiosteroil® Garlic & CoEnzyme Q10 (x40 Capsules)

Cardiosteroil Garlic & CoEnzyme Q10 offers the combined action of two ingredients which are among the most beneficial to your heart.

The medical use of Garlic (Allium Sativum) goes way back in history: there is evidence of its importance in the Egyptian Pyramids and even Biblical references to its use. Ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates prescribed it to treat many conditions and Greek athletes used it to improve their performance. Today, its numerous benefits are well-known: it prevents heart disease (including atherosclerosis), lowers high cholesterol, reduces high blood pressure. Numerous studies have demonstrated the cardiovascular benefits of garlic: garlic supplementation can decrease the accumulation of cholesterol on vascular walls, reduce aortic plaque buildup; it can also inhibit vascular calcification in patients with high blood cholesterol.

The vasodilative properties of garlic are probably due to its allicin content and the catabolism of garlic-derived polysulfides to hydrogen sulfide in red blood cells, a reaction that is dependent on reduced thiols in or on the red blood cell membrane. Hydrogen sulfide is an endogenous cardioprotective vascular cell signaling molecule. Garlic reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is one of the most important factors in the acceleration of atherosclerosis.

CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has an energizing effect on the heart. CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone (its name shares the same root as the word “ubiquitous” and in fact CoQ10 really is present in every cell of the body!), is an essential component of the electron transport chain, as it is responsible for accepting and transferring electrons in the mitochondria. Cardiac muscle cells contain twice the amount of CoEnzyme Q10 than any other cell in our body; they also need more of it since they have higher energy requirements and oxygen consumption. It has been found that the break down the synthesis of CoQ10, consequently reducing mitochondrial energy production, can result in muscle pain (myalgia). The consumption of CoQ10 supplements is therefore highly recommended.

The unique formula of Cardiosteroil Garlic & CoEnzyme Q10 is microencapsulated for better protection and presented in liquid capsulesfor faster absorption and higher bioavailability.
