• It may improve conditions involving veins and arteries.
• It has been used to prevent, delay, and treat chronic venous insufficiency, which occurs when valves in the veins that carry blood back to the heart are weak or damaged.
  • The blood that collects in the veins of the legs can lead to varicose veins, spider veins, or sores on the legs. Results that are more serious may include blood clots in the legs or sores that do not heal and may become infected.
  • This blood vessel strengthening effect of grape seed extract may also help to prevent and treat hemorrhoids.
• Grape seed extract may be effective for slowing retinopathy, the gradual break down of the retinas in the eyes usually due to blood vessel damage.
  • Individuals with arteriosclerosis (a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, or other conditions that increase the likelihood for damage to the small blood vessels in the eyes are more likely to have serious vision problems as a result of that damage.

• N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is an important life extension supplement.
• It is an acetylated form of the amino acid cysteine.
• It is used by the body to make glutathione peroxidase, one of the body's most important naturally occurring antioxidants.
  • NAC raises glutathione levels better than taking supplemental glutathione.
• It is a chelator of heavy metals.
  • It binds to toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and removes them from the body. This process may be slow.
  • Taken regularly over a period of time, it will remove many toxic heavy metals from the body.
  • Toxic metals can accumulate in the body over time from many sources such as drinking water and possibly even from tooth fillings made of silver-mercury amalgam.
  • These heavy metals catalyze(initiate free-radical reactions without being used up during the reaction) free-radical reactions. So these heavy metals continue to cause free radical damage as long as they are present in the body.
• It is an excellent mucolytic agent.
  • It lessens the irritation of dust, dry air and pollutants by keeping the membranes of the respiratory system moist.
  • It helps the immune system to do its job properly in the respiratory tract.
  • It helps break down mucus. Research has found that NAC supplements improved symptoms and prevented recurrences in people with chronic bronchitis.
  • It may also protect lung tissue through its antioxidant activity.
• The cysteine in NAC is an essential component in hair and nails. It may enhance nail growth and makes nails less brittle.
• It helps prevent damage by aldehydes, which are breakdown products of alcohol and of the small, but potentially harmful, amounts of methanol produced by aspartame (Nutrasweet)].
• It prevents liver damage that leads to death after Paracetamol overdose.. NAC is now the standard treatment for Paracetamol poisoning.
• A note for diabetics:
  • You should consult your physician before taking this because it may block the effect of insulin.
• Oxidized cysteine may form kidney stones, so its wise to take vitamin C together with N-Acetyl-Cysteine.
• Typical supplemental doses of N-Acetyl-Cysteine are 500-1500 mg. per day.
• It inhibits the carcinogens in tobacco smoke.
• It counteracts the excessive generation of free radicals in persons who exercise:

• 1,200 mg per day of NAC
  • Helps prevent Influenza infection.
  • Reduces the symptoms of existing Influenza infection.
  • Reduces the duration of Influenza infections (especially in elderly and chronically ill people).
    1,800 mg per day of NAC
• Presently undergoing clinical trials as an enhancer of the immune system in persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
• Possible means of preventing HIV developing into full-blown AIDS [research to date shows that supplemental NAC can restore Cysteine and Glutathione levels and (significantly) inhibit the replication of the HIV virus].
• It has been suggested as a viable alternative to Protease Inhibitors for the treatment of AIDS as NAC is an effective Protease Inhibitor.
  It protects the body's endogenous Protease Inhibitor Protein (Alpha-1 Antitrypsin) by preventing the oxidation of Methionine residues within this Protein.
• It reduces the toxic side effects of Cyclophosphamide (a Pharmaceutical Drug used to treat some cases of Cancer).
• It helps to prevent various types of Cancer [NAC exerts antimutagenic effects against a wide variety of mutagenic chemicals]:
• It enhances the effectiveness of Interferon Alpha in the treatment of Hepatitis C (primarily by counteracting the depletion of Glutathione).
• It inhibits the proliferation of Streptococcus pneumoniae (especially in the bronchial tissue of Smokers with chronic Bronchitis).
• It facilitates the excretion of Arsenic from the body [affected by chronic Arsenic poisoning have been saved from death when administered NAC upon arrival at hospital].
• It helps the body synthesize glutathione, an important antioxidant. In animals, the antioxidant activity of NAC protects the liver from the adverse effects of exposure to several toxic chemicals.
  Supplementation with NAC has been shown to reduce the proliferation of certain cells lining the colon and may reduce the risk of colon cancer in people with recurrent polyps in the colon.

Veriuni Advanced Antioxidant with Red Wine Extract contains 30 mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine in each capsule.

• The Coenzyme Q10 - CoQ10
• CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally-occurring substance found in every cell of our bodies.
• Our bodies make CoQ10, but production declines as we age since the liver loses its ability to synthesize CoQ10.
• Certain Amino Acids, Vitamins, Minerals and Trace Elements are needed for the production of CoQ10. If any one is missing, it will inhibit the production of CoQ10.
• it slows the rate of mitochondria degradation without interfering with the rate of ATP production
• Natural sources include fatty fish, organ meats, and peanuts.
  • However, these foods are also very high in saturated fats and cholesterol, so people tend to avoid them-especially those with heart disease which seems to be the type of people most deficient in CoQ10. In this case, supplementation of CoQ10 is a wise decision. It helps to transform the food we eat into energy.
• CoQ10 is present throughout the human body. It aids metabolic reactions, such as the transformation of food into ATP, the energy used by the body. Cell mitochondria (the cells' energy "power plants") show the greatest concentration of CoQ10.
• Those organs containing higher amounts of mitochondria per cell, such as the heart and liver, have the greatest amounts of CoQ10.
• CoQ10 is a remarkably effective nutrient for heart health.
  • Research dating back to the 1980s has shown that taking an adequate CoQ10 complex can benefit healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health.
  • Low blood levels of CoQ10 have been associated with poor blood pressure health in several studies.
• Recent studies have shown that there may be a connection between CoQ10 and cholesterol-lowering medication.
  • Such medication may inihibit the production of CoQ10 in the body. As a result, those taking statins may develop problems with liver, nerve, muscle and heart health.
  • Therefore, many physicians recommend taking CoQ10 supplements in the 200 mg to 400 mg per day range if taking statins.
• There are studies conducted to determine the effects of coenzyme Q10 for neurological health.
  • A 2002 study published in the Archives of Neurology reported that CoQ10 effectively slowed down the progression of poor brain health.
  • The patients receiving the highest doses of CoQ10 showed the greatest benefits.
• Because CoQ10 assists energy production, its benefits may also include promoting gum health, as this area may require increased energy production.
• CoQ10 may also hold benefits for athletes, and some positive studies indicate that it helps with exercise performance.
• Studies have shown that increased CoQ10 levels in the blood effectively provide support to the body in times of illness and physical stress.
• If levels of CoQ10 in the cells drop, so does the general level of health.
• Scientists have found that once levels of CoQ10 become more than 25% deficient then diseases take over.
  • These range from heart problems, high blood pressure, immune system deficiencies, gum disorders, and even cancer.
• CoQ10 is a vital catalyst in the reaction of the energy that cells need for life.
  • Without CoQ10, the chain of cellular energy is broken and without energy, life ceases.
  • CoQ10 is found more abundantly in the cells of some organs as compared to others.
  • The highest concentrations are found in those organs that need the largest supply of energy and oxygen.
  • High concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the heart muscle because it is constantly beating, in the liver which is involved with human biochemistry, and in the immune cells which fight off bacterial and viral invasions on a continual basis.
  • The gums also have substantial energy requirements. CoQ10 has been used with great success to help relieve inflammation in this tissue.
• CoQ10 has an antioxidant effect in the body.
  • It helps stabilize free radicals, which can cause damage to cells.
  • CoQ10 also helps to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which can begin the build up of plaque on the artery walls and lead to heart disease.
  • A sufficient intake of CoQ10 will help regenerate other antioxidants such as Vitamin E.
  • Antioxidants are of significant concern today due to the overabundance of toxic chemicals and heavy metals in air pollution, radiation, smoking, second hand smoke, and pharmaceutical drugs. They can even be generated by exercise.
• Dr. Steven T. Sinatra, in his book Coenzyme Q10 and the Heart, concludes that the heart muscle is the most responsive tissue in the body to CoQ10 supplementation.
  • This makes CoQ10 a very important nutrient for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.
• CoQ10 plays an essential role in immunity. It is important to note that CoQ10 does not increase production of new immune cells, but actually increases the potential of the already existing cells and their chemical defenses. In some cases, such as auto-immune diseases, an increase in immune cells is not required.
• On weight loss
  • With CoQ10's ability to speed up or make the metabolism of energy production more efficient, it would be of benefit for those trying to lose weight and for those trying to maintain weight loss. Too many times people will lose weight but gain it back again after their normal eating habits resume. CoQ10 may aid in maintaining weight loss by speeding up energy production and metabolism.
• Supplementation of CoQ10 is a good decision. The following shows how much of it you can get from food.
• 30 mg from a pound of sardines.
• 15 mg from a pound of peanuts.

Veriuni Advanced Antioxidant with Red Wine Extract contains 30 mg of CoQ10 in each capsule.
