• modulates inflammation

Many factors influence the way we age. These include genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and variables within our environment. At the cellular level, increased oxidative and inflammatory stress caused by free radicals is implicated in most types of age-related chronic disease. These highly reactive particles can easily damage vital cell components such as mitochondria (energy centers), various proteins, lipids, and DNA.

CV-Res-Q features state-of-the-art ingredients that offer significant health benefits such as improving mitochondrial function and regulating specific genes important in maintaining proper cell function, while assisting in the control of free radicals and inflammation and imparting a redox-cycling effect (to reduce oxidative stress).

Enhances Mitochondrial Energy Efficiency
Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, taking in nutrients, breaking them down, and creating energy (ATP) through a process known as cellular respiration. In addition, they are involved in a range of other cellular processes such as signaling, differentiation, and the control of the cell life cycle. Mitochondrial disorders are degenerative diseases characterized by a decrease in the mitochondria’s ability to supply cellular energy requirements. Proper mitochondrial function is essential for optimal health, strength, recovery and stress resistance. Resveratrol, SilbinolÔ, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), R-alpha lipoic acid (R-ALA) and selenium, the key CV-Res-Q ingredients, have all been proven to enhance mitochondrial function.

Supports Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is most often caused by a chain of events that leads to an increase in catabolic (breaking down) activity, and a decrease in anabolic (building) activity, both of which are typical in aging. The shift towards catabolic metabolism is signified by muscle weakness (including the heart muscle), loss of hormone production and function, inefficiency of key receptors and enzymes, pro-inflammatory and oxidative damage, elevated fibrinogen and mitochondrial atrophy. CV-Res-Q has been formulated to support the health and efficiency of the entire cardiovascular system and directly target all of these specific factors in CVD onset and progression.

2 capsules, 1-2x daily

Resvenox™
Resveratrol’s therapeutic actions include cardiovascular protection, modulation of inflammation, redox-cycling, gene stabilization and regulation, and cell repair. CV-Res-Q contains a highly purified and stable form of resveratrol with added grape seed extract, quercetin, and Bioperine™. The combination of these agents makes the resveratrol more absorbable, while increasing synergy to produce a more profound effect in supporting overall health.

Hawthorn
Traditional Eclectic and Western European herbal medicine considers hawthorn to be the most valuable tonic herb for conditions of the heart. An abundant amount of active constituents including flavonoids, catechins, triterpene saponins, amines and OPC's are responsible for its therapeutic effects.

Silibinol™
Silibinol™ is a concentrated extract prepared from the heartwood and bark of Pterocarpus marsupium. Studies have demonstrated that pterocarpus can greatly improve insulin secretion and glucose uptake. In addition, it possesses remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which greatly compliment its ability to insure proper cell function.

R-alpha lipoic acid (R-ALA)
R-ALA functions as a coenzyme essential for ATP production and cell efficiency. It is a broad spectrum antioxidant, able to quench a wide range of free radicals and recycle several other important antioxidants including vitamins C and E, glutathione, CoQ10, as well as itself.

Mega Natural™ GSKE
Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) from grape seed extract are primarily known for their antioxidant activity, yet they have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and vasodilatory actions as well. The combination of grape seed extract with resveratrol and quercetin produces a proven synergistic effect, thereby enhancing its overall therapeutic benefits.

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol & Ubiquinone)
CoQ10 is required for electron transport and energy production within mitochondria. Most healthy young individuals produce adequate quantities of CoQ10 to meet their bodies' needs. However, it can be depleted by certain drugs, like statins, or reduced by aging. There are many age-related health conditions such as heart disease, where the need for higher levels of this essential nutrient requires supplementation. CV-Res-Q combines ubiquinol and ubiquinone forms of CoQ10, offering free radical scavenging benefits beyond that of either by itself.
