High Absorption CoQ10 w/Bioperine, Doctor's Best, 100mg, 60 Veggie Capsules - High Absorption Coenzyme Q10 (Coq10) is a vitamin-like nutrient that benefits your heart and allows your cells to produce energy. CoQ10 Veggie capsules are a high potency formula in a base of olive oil for enhanced absorption. In addition, Doctor's Best High Absorption CoQ10 Capsules contain Bioperine(*), an herbal extract clinically-shown to enhance CoQ10 absorption as much as 30 percent. You can take High Absorption CoQ10 with confidence that you are getting all the benefits you expect from your CoQ10 supplement.
Due to the limited supply and increasing demand worldwide, especially in Japan, CoQ 10 prices have gone up during the past year. There are only 3 manufacturers of CoQ 10, all of which are based in Japan. The largest one is in the process of adding production capability in Japan, and also in Pasadena, Texas, hopefully by the end of 2005, and early 2006. Until then, the prices will be unstable, with an upward trend. The wholesale market price for pure CoQ 10 used to be around 0-900 per kilogram. It now runs between 2 and 4 thousand dollars a kilogram. As a result, many of the brand names we represent have been forced to raise their prices.

*Reduces Homocysteine to Methionine *
Homocysteine PF (Protection Factors) by Jarrow Formulas is formulated with methyl group donors and supporting nutrients to facilitate methylation. Methylation is inhibited by poor dietary habits (excessive protein and fat or inadequate nutrient content), alcohol, smoking and genetic predisposition. Impairment of methylation results in elevated levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid and a serious health risk. Homocysteine is reduced to methionine, a biologically useful amino acid, by enzymes that require folic acid, B12, B6 and methyl groups. Intrinsic factor facilitates the absorption of B12.
Contains no common allergen or sugar. Easy-Solv™ tablets dissolve within minutes of ingestion.
Curcumin 95™ - 500 mg by Jarrow is an 18:1 extract of the antioxidants found in the spice turmeric root. Curcumin 95™ contains 95% curcuminoids (including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxy-curcumin) which are antioxidants.
Turmeric in Latin is Curcuma longa. The roots of the plant are stemlike and are used as an herb in Asian cooking such as curries.Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a polyphenol natural product of the plant Curcuma longa and a component of the popular Indian curry spice turmeric, may be an anticancer agent.
Researchers at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center studied the possible anticancer mechanisms of curcumin.
The study found that curcumin inhibited growth of rhabdomyosarcoma cells (Rh1 and Rh30) and arrested cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.
Curcumin also induced apoptosis (cell death) and inhibited the basal or type I insulin-like growth factor-induced motility of the cells.
At physiological concentrations, curcumin rapidly inhibited phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and its downstream effector molecules in a panel of cell lines.
Curcumin also inhibited phosphorylation of Akt in the cells, but only at high concentrations.
