AquaSource CoQ10 with Chromium Polynicotinate and Klamath Lake Algae

Nutritional Supplement Recommended Intake: Take 1 or 2 capsules each day with a meal.

Contra-indications: Diabetics taking insulin should not take extra chromium unless supervised by a medical practitioner.

"My fitness, stamina and exercise-recovery times have improved dramatically; my food cravings seem to have disappeared. Many patients in middle-age (and older) have found renewed vigour; fitness and well-being follows daily intake of this remarkable product." - DR D COHEN (THE NUTRITION CLINIC)

Co-enzyme Q10

Known as a coenzyme, this powerful, versatile antioxidant plays a role in converting food and oxygen into metabolic energy.

Common uses

• In heart disease and artery disease (weakened heart muscle, high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, angina)

• Circulation (e.g. Raynaud's disease)

• Gum disease

Co-enzyme Q10 is found in foods, particularly organ meat, but cooking and processing methods tend to destroy it and, whilst it can be made in the body, production declines as we age. In fact, a lack of energy in older people may, in part, be connected with lower co-enzyme Q10 production in the body.

A lack of co-enzyme Q10 has been associated with periodontal (gum) disease. Similarly it has been shown that those with certain heart conditions and people who are overweight tend to have low co-enzyme Q10 levels.

Also known as ubiquinone, co-enzyme Q10 is the enzyme responsible for the last biochemical pathway required for energy production within our cells. It is therefore not surprising to find the highest concentrations of co-enzyme Q10 in those organs which have the highest energy requirements, such as the heart muscle and liver, and in those tissues that regenerate quickly such as the gums.

Over 30 million people worldwide supplement with CoQ10. This includes over 12 million in Japan.

Chromium Polynicotinate

Chromium is involved in the metabolism of glucose and the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and protein.  

Chromium is essential to maintain stable blood sugar levels by helping insulin do its work, and so can be helpful for people with diabetes and hypoglycaemia. Diabetics taking insulin should not take extra chromium unless supervised by a medical practitioner.

Chromium has also been used successfully to control blood cholesterol, and it promotes the loss of fat and increases lean muscle tissue. 

Studies have shown it may increase longevity and help prevent osteoporosis.

Chromium deficiency, which is extremely common, can lead to fatigue, glucose intolerance, Syndrome X (hyperinsulinism), poor protein metabolism and increased risk to coronary artery disease.

Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae (AFA)

The best blue green algae comes from the Upper Klamath Lake in the Cascade Mountains, Southern Oregon, USA.  Fed by seventeen pure mountain streams and geothermal springs, it has ten metres of mineral deposits: these are the Earth’s most mineral rich alkaline waters. Growing here is Nature’s most complete and balanced food having many remarkable properties – nothing equals its nutritional profile.

One of the smartest people on earth, Christian Opitz, says this about Klamath Lake Blue Green Algae, in his book "The Way of Direct Awakening".

"The most complete brain food in the world.

It increases cognitive and physical efficiency.

It is a superior source for almost all vital materials."

With an IQ of 196 (out of possible 200) Christian Opitz is considered one of the outstanding intellectual gifts of our time. Since age 8 he was immersed in biochemistry and atomic physics. Due to health reasons at age 12 he focused his attention on holistic health and nutrition.

Klamath Lake Algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or simply AFA) 

The Heartiest Food on Earth

Why is AFA algae so powerful a “super-food” and so effective in transforming the health status of humans to vitality and boosted immunity? It is partly because of the conditions under which AFA flourish, free from the technological pollutants of insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, and chlorinated phenyls and dioxins.

But why is AFA so able to tolerate environmental extremes? After evolving so successfully for eons, AFA has developed wide and versatile enzyme systems. When we eat AFA algae we benefit accordingly. A variety of enzymes means a generous selection of their constituent minerals, vitamins and amino acids, all of which are free from dangerous environmental pollutants.

There are other naturally protective substances in AFA. The glutathione molecule was probably the Earth’s first antioxidant. It was used to shield and protect primitive forms of blue-green algae from the burning effects of a harsh and hostile environment. For humans, the same glutathione from AFA has been shown to protect us from the toxic effects of a polluted environment.

AquaSource was formed in 1994 by David Howell and Robert Davidson, two of the UK's leading homeopaths. Both had experienced challenges in find new ways to aid their patients.

Mr Howell recalls: "Because we are increasingly exposed to unnecessary food additives, commercial processing that deteriorates nutritional value, pollution and other environmental issues, our bodies are constantly challenged. We discovered that blue-green algae benefited many patients. Since then, we have done exhaustive research and consulted with hundreds of experts, committed to a better understanding of the science of blue-green algae as well as methods of making it available in a practical and economical way to everyone."
