Batangas Visit / Gov. Vilma Santos' Office



Deretsahan hosts and Mcvil Global's - Mcvil CoQ10 has visited Batangas Province and to Gov. Vilma Santos's office to promote the "wonder nutrient". Setting up a new date, the company is looking forward for the availability of the product in the whole province before end of this year.

Mcvil Global is also hoping that the support of the local government will finally be pushed through especially with programs like Gov. Vilma Santos' H.E.A.R.T.S. program and associating it to the brand's tag line "Protecting your heart is no longer an option..."

The H.E.A.R.T.S. program is carved from the cultural tradition of the Batanguenos and promoting its province through tourism and empowering its citizens. Please check Batangas H.E.A.R.T.S. program direct link:

Aging and CoQ10


“Adult human body pool of Co-q10 has been found to be approximately 2 grams and requires replacement of about 0.5 grams/ day (500mg) based on its average turnover of about 4 days in various tissues. This must be supplied either by endogenous synthesis or form exogenous sources. Synthesis decreases progressive in humans above the age of 21. Furthermore, the average ubiquinone (Co-Q10) content of the western diet is less than 5 mg/ day. Thus, ubiquinone supplementation appears to be the only way for older people, and certainly the ill, to obtain the major proportion of the 0.5 gram/ day needed.

“Supplement by the aged, ill or stressed, can hav3 benefits.” States Dr. Ely


AGING
Weight gain, loss of weight, muscular weakness, memory difficulties, loss of elasticity in blood vessels and skin, slowing down of hormonal activity and, most significantly cellular damage from unrelenting free radical activity, are all signs of aging. 

By 2050 the elderly population in the U.S is expected to double to 80 million according to the U.S Census Bureau.

Many people across generations live an active and energetic life without degenerative diseases. So how can he aging process be outsmarted?

 A theory is that free radical oxidative stress is a major activity to blame for accelerating the aging process.
Molecules known as free radicals cause oxidative stress and have the ability to cause a lot of damage if they are not managed correctly.

Clinical studies have revealed that if the Mitochondria, a  cells power house which produces energy in the form of ATP, is damage by free radicals and subsequent DNA deterioration and DNA mutation, the aging process can be accelerated. Therefore we can hypothesize that interventions that prevent the free radical induced mitochondrial damage, can help protect cell DNA and maybe retard the aging process. If sufficient antioxidants are present in cells, free radicals can be neutralized to a certain extent.

             Today many average lack nutrient potent foods that provide antioxidants to counteract free radical damage. Overtime the body will become more vulnerable, cell strength, vitality and membrane deterioration will occur, if adequate precautions don’t take place.
