CoEnzymeQ10 (CoQ10): Miracle Nutrient for Your Heart
Its importance to your health and the best form for supplementation
Adapted from a Dr Al Sears Newsletter.

There is some exciting news in nutritions supplementation. It may be the most critical CoQ10 discovery since Karl Folkers first identified the nature's most powerful antioxidant, back in 1958.
Several months ago I had a private meeting with Dr. Tatsumasa Mae, the best-known and most highly regarded CoQ10 researcher in the world. He was visiting from Japan. He met me in my Florida office to talk about his latest breakthrough:
World Renowned Inventor, Dr. Mae,
and Dr. Sears.
Dr. Mae has discovered and perfected a new form of CoQ10 that is an incredible 8 times more powerful than conventional CoQ10!
Being 8 times more powerful means you get 8 times more in your blood; but, the whole story is even more remarkable. This new type of CoQ10 will give you the opportunity to make gains on a scale that defies comparison.
Conventional CoQ10 works wonders, but the problem I've had is keeping my patients' blood levels high enough. They often require high doses, and that sometimes means taking 4 to 6 capsules a day, of at least 200 mg. That's troublesome and expensive … .
But this new form, which I call Accel, lets me give a single 50 mg capsule to the same patients who were taking 6 to 8 capsules, and still not getting good blood levels. That's great, but it's just the beginning … . The fact that Accel stays in the blood stream so much longer means its affect is much more powerful in other ways — like its energy enhancement for cellular metabolism, for instance.

What you know about CoQ10 is about to change
The results are in. Continuing research shows that the CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) called Hydro-Q-Sorb, is significantly more bioavailable than regular powder CoQ10. And it's the only CoQ10 powder in the world that can say this!
Hydro-Q-Sorb is a unique way to get all-natural CoQ10 in the bloodstream — without oils or liquids, making it unlike any other CoQ10 supplement anywhere. It starts with an all-natural CoQ10 molecule that is then wrapped in another natural molecule called gamma cyclodextrin. Here's where the magic comes in. Gamma cyclodextrin has a "fat-loving" core and a "water-loving" exterior. So, the center of it easily wraps around the fat-soluble CoQ10, while the outer layer makes it water-soluble. This gamma cyclodextrin basically hugs the CoQ10, and takes it right into your cells — and into the mitochondria, where it's needed.
Not only is Hydro-Q-Sorb all-natural, it's the most bioidentical CoQ10 available — meaning it is the closest to what our bodies naturally create.
The importance of CoQ10 to your heart and overall health
Dr. Williams calls CoQ10 the miracle nutrient for a lot of reasons.
→ One of the most important reasons to call CoQ10 the miracle nutrient is the key role it plays in helping to create cellular energy. In nearly every cell of your body, there are small "stations" called mitochondria. Ninety-five percent of the total energy created within your body comes from these mitochondria — and none of it can take place without CoQ10.
This is especially important when it comes to your heart — the biggest energy "hog" in your body. Your heart requires an unbelievable amount of energy, just to go about its daily business. That's why CoQ10 is the ultimate heart nutrient. But, it goes even further than that.
→ CoQ10 is an outstanding antioxidant. It protects nearly every cell in your body from free-radical damage.
→ On top of that, taking 100 mg a day helps promote physical energy and stamina.
→ Plus, it supports a healthy immune system.
Sometimes, Dr Williams thinks the list just keeps going on and on. He's not kidding when he calls this a "miracle" nutrient. Therefore, keeping your body well-stocked with this essential nutrient should be a top priority.
Naturally-occurring CoQ10 vs supplementation
Another part of the CoQ10 miracle is how our bodies actually create CoQ10 — naturally. But, here's the catch: When we're young, our CoQ10 supplies are abundant; but time, medications (especially statin drugs) and other factors can drain our stores. So, because of the critical importance of this nutrient, this is, without a doubt, something you need to stay on top of.
Many foods contain CoQ10 (such as broccoli, eggs and nuts), but it's not recommended to depend on these for all of your CoQ10 requirements. When it comes down to it, diet just isn't the most effective — or practical — way of getting sufficient supplies of CoQ10.
Supplementing with CoQ10 is your best bet. If you're already doing so, that's great. If you're not, you really should. This can be tricky, though: CoQ10 is not the most cooperative nutrient. Because it is fat-soluble, it needs to be teamed up with a fat or oil so that your body can absorb it.
That's why many CoQ10 supplements are oil-based liquid softgels. Unfortunately this raises other concerns, such as large pill size or the use of synthetic materials in the liquid — something you should try to steer away from, whenever possible.
But we don't have to mess with the oils and liquids anymore. You can finally get a CoQ10 that will not only shake up the world of CoQ10, but literally change the future of CoQ10 supplements.
Dr Williams believes that this could very well be the future of CoQ10. It comes down to this: CoQ10 is probably the single best nutrient for your heart, and he believes this is a better way to get it. And even better, you get to pick the amount of CoQ10 that's right for you.
Dr. Williams was so impressed with preliminary research on Hydro-Q-Sorb that he created a product around it, Q10 Advantage. And, while not surprised that further findings support the early research, he's thrilled with the latest results — and thinks you will be, too.
Q10 Advantage comes in two dosages — 30 mg capsules and 100 mg capsules. It's suggested that you take two of each daily, whichever one you choose.
→ With 60 mg of CoQ10 every day, you will replenish your body's own supply and get a hearty amount of support for your heart and brain.
→ However, for a significant boost, 200 mg daily is recommend. This amount provides excellent cardiovascular benefits, including support for healthy blood pressure and support for physical energy levels.
No matter what, the important thing is to make sure you're getting CoQ10 to your cells. It's your body's best source of raw energy, and a potent antioxidant that helps protect you from free-radical damage. All in all, it plays a very crucial role in keeping your heart and body strong and healthy.
It's very impressive. Accel is probably the most powerful heart and brain nutrient I have ever encountered. You get all the benefits you've been getting with the regular CoQ10, but much bigger and much better!
And that's only the beginning. A few years down the road, we may find that Accel makes Alzheimer's, and other chronic nervous system conditions, a thing of the past!
I am confident of this: Accel will change the face of anti-aging medicine forever. Some of the laboratory videos Dr. Mae showed me and my staff were absolutely amazing!
One video of their research showed 3 groups of mice and how they aged. One group was given Accel. The second took conventional CoQ10. The third group was given no CoQ10 at all.
The mice were all the same age and allowed to age normally. After several months, the mice taking no CoQ10 died of natural causes. They showed typical signs of aging and suffered heart and brain damage — typical of oxidative stress.
The second group, taking conventional CoQ10, was still alive, but showed signs of aging. They lasted longer, but when they died, they had similar conditions to the first group.
The third group, which took Accel, was not just still alive; they looked like strong, young mice. They were running around in their cages with all the vigor of mice half their age!
And, in spite of being old, they showed no signs of aging!
Imagine … Slowing down your aging speed by that much means you'd live to be 120 instead of 80! You could be over 100 and still have the power and stamina to play tennis and play with your great-great grandchildren.
Accel is helping my patients make unbelievable gains. All the limitations we associate with aging are going out the window.
Here's the bottom line: The longer you take Accel the more benefit you'll receive. The idea is simple: You keep your heart and brain in good condition by keeping them well fed. When they stay in good condition, they last longer.
Why we need to supplement with CoQ10
Thousands of years ago, your ancestors had better access to CoQ10 from a fresh kill. Today it's more of a problem. Your natural sources of this critical nutrient are drying up.
We live in a toxic dump by comparison. Loss of energy is one of the consequences. CoQ10 is the most primal high-energy source your body needs. It feeds every cell in your body. When you don't get it, your organs start to suffocate. The downward spiral is devastating.
Drawbacks of old CoQ10 supplements
CoQ10 has been around for years. And, it's been helpful. But, there were major drawbacks to the old type of CoQ10 … it was weak and expensive. Accel makes a difference because it's in its stronger, reduced form … so much better absorbed. That means your blood levels stay higher, longer.
I remember when I had to tell some patients to take 400-mg of the old CoQ10 every 8 hours to keep their blood levels high enough. It worked, but it was a very expensive option. They could easily go through a couple of bottles a week.
With Accel, most people can get all the anti-aging power with just one caplet a day. That makes the miracle of CoQ10 available to you at a fraction of the cost.
Why you will want Accel
I keep thinking back to the test mice taking Accel … The inventor — Dr. Mae from Japan — showed them to me when he stopped by for a visit. The mice taking CoQ10 were the equivalent of an 80-year old human — and they were running around like teenagers.
We already know, from years of research, that CoQ10 has a direct effect on human physiology. I've seen the clinical tests. And I've seen the effect in my patients.
I can tell you … I want the energy of a teenager when I'm 80. That's the whole point of anti-aging medicine: To keep the power of youth into old age.
When my staff and I saw Dr. Mae's mice, we were all amazed. Eva, my services director, has a family member with congestive heart failure. After seeing the video, she claimed the first two bottles of Accel for her family.
I sent bottles of Accel to my family too. And, that's why I'm writing you today … .
I don't want you to be without this important information. In the next few pages, I will explain exactly how Accel works and why it is so much better than conventional CoQ10. I will also tell you how you can use it to treat yourself and your family.
The high concentration is the key to Accel's amazing potential. Let me explain …
Unless You Take Action, CoQ10 Starts to Disappear …
You'll find CoQ10 in high concentrations in your heart, brain and all your major organs. As you know, it helps to generate much needed energy. But, levels start dropping off at the age of 20, and are lowest in stroke and heart attack victims.
This graph tells the whole story:
By the time you're 80, most of your CoQ10 has disappeared. And that's bad news … .
In addition to supplying energy, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant. The "slow burn" we use for fuel damages tissues like fire burns everything it contacts. The action of CoQ10's antioxidant power puts out this fire and protects your organs and tissues from damage.
Aside from giving your heart and brain the extra fuel it needs to keep working, it preserves them and keeps them in working order for much longer.
Think of a sandwich. If you leave it lying on your kitchen counter, the bread gets stale and the meat starts to rot. But put it in a zip-loc bag and throw it in the fridge and it stays fresh for weeks. This is a simple example of the type of anti-aging power that CoQ10 gives you.
The new form of CoQ10 in Accel makes these protective benefits even greater and more reliable. And, it makes the cost of getting a therapeutic dose much lower.
New research is opening up a new world of CoQ10 benefits. These include:
- Blood Sugar: An Australian study found that patients with type II diabetes who took CoQ10 showed improved blood sugar control, and were able to maintain healthy blood sugar levels that were already within the normal range.1
- Vision and Eye Health: A recent clinical trial showed adults with early macular degeneration, who supplemented with a combination of CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids for one year, improved their visual function.2
- Allergies: Researchers in Texas found a correlation between CoQ10 levels and respiratory health. They found low CoQ10 levels in people suffering from rhinitis and other allergies; and, they believe that further studies will show that CoQ10 can manage a wide array of allergy syndromes.3
- Gum Health: CoQ10 improves the gum health of people suffering from periodontal disease, and speeds tissue healing following periodontal surgery.4
- Migraines: 32 patients with migraines were treated with CoQ10 daily. More than 60% of the patients experienced a 50% or greater reduction in the number of days they suffered headaches. After three months, the frequency of their migraines fell by an average of 55%.5
Accel Slows Your Aging Clock by up to 51%
Back to that study I talked about earlier. Over a 15-month period, it demonstrated the amazing power of this new form of CoQ10. At 12 months of age, the point that equals late middle age for humans, the mice taking the new form were aging 22% slower than mice taking conventional CoQ10, and 51% slower than those taking none at all.
If you are taking CoQ10, this is great news. If you are not taking it, this is amazing news!
Those mice taking Accel looked responsive and energetic. They had no physical deformities, no lesions and showed no signs of aging. They had a bright, glossy coat — typical of youth. They were running around like children. Imagine Accel having that affect on you!
When we told our readers about this new development a few weeks back, we immediately sold out. Now, we've received more of this new formula, and able to offer it to you.
Here's the best part … Eva, my customer service director, has created a special volume discount when you buy Accel. That way, you just can't lose …
