Pycnogenol® + CoQ10
In a league of its own, Dual Action Pycnogenol® + CoQ10™ combines two revered, healthy aging
nutraceuticals that provide multiple health benefits: Pycnogenol® (with over
100 studies) and research grade, non-GMO Kaneka® CoQ10*.
Featuring 50mg of Pycnogenol® and 100mg of the Kaneka® CoQ10, along with key co-factors (per 2 capsule serving), Pycnogenol® + CoQ10™ delivers powerful nutrition while saving you time and
money.
Pycnogenol® is a water extract from the bark of the French maritime pine.
More than 200 scientific articles and clinical trials have confirmed
Pycnogenol's safety, absence of toxicity and clinical efficiency over the past
35 years. Today, Pycnogenol® is one of the most researched ingredients in the
product marketplace.
Pycnogenol® delivers key benefits for healthy cell and circulatory system
support.*
Pycnogenol® Supports the Body's Antioxidant Defense System*
Every cell in the blood is equipped with energy generators called "mitochondria."
Called "organelles" (little organs), mitochondria are the power packs that keep
all cellular functions operating non-stop 24-7-365 for all long as you live.
Oxygen is the fundamental fuel for this intra-cellular energy system. Metabolism
of oxygen is a combustion process; oxygen is literally "burned" up and in the
process, oxygen by-products called "free radicals" are created. Left unchecked,
free radicals create "oxidative stress" in the cell and interfere with healthy
cellular function. This is where Pycnogenol® steps in. Pycnogenol® helps mop up
the excess free radicals. That is what "antioxidants" are designed to do; and
Pycnogenol® is one of nature's most effective antioxidants. Measurements taken
in people supplementing with Pycnogenol® have shown that Pycnogenol® increased
the "oxygen radical absorbance capacity", the ability of a substance to
neutralize oxygen free radicals commonly known as ORAC, in the blood by 40%.*
Pycnogenol® Supports Nitric Oxide (N.O.) While Relaxing Blood Vessels and Supporting Healthy Circulation.*
Pycnogenol® has been shown to potentiate the release of nitric oxide in the
cells, called the "endothelium," that line blood vessels. It does this by
stimulating nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of
nitric oxide from the amino acid arginine.* Nitric oxide is one of the primary
molecular signals for helping blood vessels relax properly so healthy
circulation is maintained. Clinical studies have shown that Pycnogenol® causes
vasodilatation and consequently improves blood micro-circulation, which is great for both men and women.* Application of
specific sensors to the skin of the legs demonstrated increased oxygen levels
and decreased carbon dioxide after consumption of Pycnogenol® over a period of
six weeks.
Pycnogenol® Supports Skin Hydration and Elasticity*
Pycnogenol® is also a healthy skin dietary ingredient.* In a recent study, 20
healthy postmenopausal women supplemented with Pycnogenol® for twelve weeks and
experienced improvements in skin hydration and elasticity. As demonstrated in
this trial, Pycnogenol® supports healthy skin by maintaining production of
hyaluronic acid and collagen in the extracellular matrix that supports the
structural integrity of skin.*
CoQ10 - the Versatile Antioxidant that Supports Heart Health, Immune Function and the Brain*
Few nutrients for the heart have been as well researched as USA-made Kaneka® Q10(Coenzyme Q10). CoQ10
is a bioenergetic, vitamin-like nutrient that is produced by the body that tends
to diminish as we age. CoQ10 plays a critical part in energy production at the
cellular level and supports overall cardiovascular health and healthy immune
function.* Because of the extensive research substantiating the dynamic health
benefits of CoQ10, it has earned elite status as an evidence based
nutraceutical. In the body, one of CoQ10's key functions is to convert
components from our nutritional intake into ATP – the cell's most important
fuel for metabolism and cellular function.* That is particularly important for
muscle tissue and even more so for the heart. Because it never stops working — the
heart beats 100,000 times a day — the heart has the highest energy demand of
any organ in the body.
Pycnogenal + CoQ10 contains 100 percent Kaneka Q10®, the only CoQ10 manufactured exclusively in
the U.S. Kaneka Q10® is fermented from yeast and bio-identical to the body’s own
physiologically made CoQ10. The yeast-fermentation method, along with Kaneka's
rigorous manufacturing standards, make Kaneka Q10® the purest CoQ10 available on
the market today. Kaneka Q10® has 30 years of manufacturing, safety and clinical
studies supporting quality and reliability.
Decades of research have established a strong link between blood levels of CoQ10
and cardiovascular health. Daily supplementation with CoQ10 delivers important
cardiovascular benefits, especially with aging as our ability to produce CoQ10
internally begins to decline. CoQ10's heart-support effects derive from its
unique antioxidant activity, which supports integrity of the membrane inner
linings of blood vessels.*
Mitochondrial function is also critically important in the brain, since like the
heart, the brain is an energy-intensive organ. Studies show that CoQ10 can help
support brain health by facilitating mitochondrial function and protecting the
brain from oxidative stress.*
Absorption-Enhanced Formula*
