| We all
should understand the importance of coenzyme Q10. This vitamin-like
substance is found in the cells of all living organisms and is the spark
that ignites the creation of energy at the cellular level. It is a vital
link in the metabolic pathway that creates 95 percent of the energy produced
in the human body’s cells.
Cells manufacture their own energy by burning the substances found in
foods. To do this, the foods we eat are broken down into smaller and smaller
components. Eventually, some of these components, carbon atoms, are broken
down into electrons. |
|
When these electrons are released, energy is formed.
This energy is turned into a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
One of the bonds holding ATP together has great energy potential. When it is
broken, it releases the equivalent of 7,000 calories. This is the energy our
cells use to keep us alive.
A steady production of ATP is necessary because only about three ounces
of ATP are stored in the body at one time; this is the amount that will
sustain a strenuous activity, such as running as hard as you can, for about
five to eight seconds. You can see, then, that it is important that our
bodies have the most efficient means possible to produce this valuable
substance. Coenzyme Q10 is a key in the formation of ATP; if we are lacking
in coenzyme Q10, we cannot produce ATP efficiently.
Coenzyme Q10 acts as a shuttle, carrying important, energy-laden
electrons and protons around the cell, to eventually be turned into ATP.
Without this shuttle, ATP would not be created, and cells would not be able
to create the energy needed for both everyday and special energy needs.
According to a 1990 article in the American Journal of Cardiology,
“Coenzyme Q10 is necessary for the mitochondria [components of cells] to
perform their functions and is essential for human life.” (Vol. 65, No. 1)
What are the implications of coenzyme Q10 for our health? As stated, all
of our cells must produce energy for us to stay alive, and coenzyme Q10 is
an essential part of this energy production. It is thus logical that a
deficiency in coenzyme Q10 in any of the body’s cells would affect body
functions.
Many studies have shown that people suffering from different forms of
heart disease are deficient in coenzyme Q10. This makes sense, as congestive
heart failure results from the inability of the heart to generate the energy
and strength necessary to maintain circulation. There are also studies on
the positive effect of coenzyme Q10 on the gums, on the immune system, and
as an antioxidant. Today, millions of people take coenzyme Q10 daily.
AIM CellSparc 360™
AIM CellSparc 360™ is truly a unique product. You will not find another
product that combines coenzyme Q10, tocotrienols, and omega-3 fatty acids.
There are no artificial flavors or fillers, such as yeast, egg, or milk
derivatives. The softgel delivery system also gives you benefits. These
include improved bioavailability; a superior delivery system; greater
stability, purity, and consistency; and enhanced absorption. Softgels are
hermetically sealed, which makes them tamper-resistant. And most people find
them easier to swallow, with no bad taste or aftertaste.
Coenzyme Q10
Heat is one way to determine the purity of coenzyme Q10: the lower the
melting point, the purer the product. The coenzyme Q10 in AIM CellSparc 360
has a melting point of 117 F, one of the lowest in the industry. It is
derived from a plant source and is not buffered with unwanted fillers.
Tocotrienols
Tocotrienols are a type of vitamin E. They are found in cereal seeds and in
palm, rice bran, and barley oils. In AIM CellSparc 360™, the 100 mg of
tocotrienols are derived from palm fruit. Like vitamin E, tocotrienols are
proving to have health benefits. There have been many different studies
indicating that tocotrienols reduce serum cholesterol, and recent research
by Packer and Associates (Lester Packer is a well-known nutritional
biochemist) indicates that tocotrienols have 40 to 60 times more antioxidant
ability than alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E).
Omega-3 fatty acids (Fish oil in Canada)
The diluent—the substance that carries the coenzyme Q10 and tocotrienols—in
AIM CellSparc 360 is omega-3 fatty acids. This is an important point, as
coenzyme Q10 is fat-soluble, which means that it requires fat to be absorbed
by the digestive tract. Dr. Karl Folkers, the doctor responsible for much of
the research on coenzyme Q10, has recommended that coenzyme Q10 be dissolved
in oil. The 240 mg of omega-3 fatty acids provide this oil. Omega-3 fatty
acids are derived from fish and certain plants. In CellSparc 360™, they
are derived from cold-water fish.
Omega-3 fatty acids also have health benefits. Two of them in particular,
EPA and DHA, are beneficial. “Traditional” nutrition research
acknowledges EPA and DHA’s role in brain development, as well as in the
development of the rods and cones of the retina, male reproductive tissue,
skin integrity, and the body’s inflammatory response. There is also
considerable data indicating that EPA and DHA help reduce high cholesterol
counts. Many epidemiological studies show that among populations where large
amounts of omega-3 fatty acids are consumed (largely in fish) there is
little incidence of heart disease. The omega-3 diluent in AIM CellSparc 360™
is 18 percent EPA and 12 percent DHA.
A Superior Product
You will find that AIM CellSparc 360™ is superior to other coenzyme Q10
products on the market. No one but AIM Members has a product that combines
coenzyme Q10 with tocotrienols and omega-3 fatty acids in a convenient
softgel capsule. This combination brings you more health benefits and better
absorption than other products.

Directions for use
Take 1 to 2 softgel capsules every day. Although the inclusion of the
omega-3 diluent helps improve absorption of the coenzyme Q10, it is still
recommended that you take the capsules with meals. Some people feel
immediate benefits; others notice results after 6 to 8 weeks.
