Top 8 CoQ10 Benefits! by Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh

This is the third of a series of six articles in which Shaklee collaborates with Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh, to jointly inspire more Malaysians to achieve better nutrition and wellness.

Who is Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh? 

He's actually the President of Malaysian Wellness Society. I always love to listen to him on the radio early in the morning because he shared a lot of great health tips to the listeners.  

This time, I am so happy to see him appeared in the Shaklee Bulletin for the month of Feb 2018, sharing with us the top 8 benefits of CoQ10. 

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone comes in two forms: ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form, and ubiquinone, the oxidised form in which the body partially converts to ubiquinol. It exists everywhere in the body. Although CoQ10 behaves like a vitamin, its primary role serves as a catalyst in certain reactions. Thus, it is not considered a true vitamin because it is synthesised in the cells. CoQ10 is a natural supplement required for many important functions in the body. However, a lot us do not realise that CoQ10 decreases as we age which may then lead to other health implications.

Benefit #1: Energy Production 

CoQ10 acts as a catalyst in the chain of chemical reactions that create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound that yields the energy needed by cells to function. Due to Coenzyme’s role in energy production, it stands to reason that a low concentration of this substance is detrimental to health in general. CoQ10 is most abundant in organs that require a large supply of energy especially the heart, liver and immune system. 

Benefit #2: CoQ10 Antioxidant Powers 

Like a number of other vitamins, CoQ10 is an antioxidant. Similar in structure to vitamin E, another antioxidant, CoQ10 has been shown to scavenge harmful free radicals and thus may help prevent cell damage in a variety of conditions. 

Benefit #3: Parkinson’s Disease 

Early research suggests that high doses of CoQ10 might be beneficial for people in the early stages of this progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement

Benefit #4: Cardiovascular Health 

Most of the research on CoQ10 involves the heart, since this nutrient is most concentrated in that organ. CoQ10 is beneficial for heart health in many ways. It assists in maintaining the normal oxidative state of LDL cholesterol, helps assure circulatory health and supports optimal functioning of heart muscle. CoQ10 may also help support the health of vessel walls as well as help reduce blood pressure. Some research also suggests that when combined with other nutrients, CoQ10 might aid recovery in people who might have had bypass and heart valve surgeries. 

Benefit #5: Physical Performance 

CoQ10 is involved in energy production. It is believed that this supplement can improve your physical performance. Some research has also shown that CoQ10 may assist in reducing headaches / migraines as evidenced by work done at Mayo clinic. 

Benefit #6: Statin-induced Myopathy 

Statins reduce the formation of CoQ10 in the body and causes muscle weakness. Thus, taking CoQ10 supplements can help reduce the muscle weakness. 

Benefit #7: CoQ10 Benefits On Skin Health 

CoQ10 being an antioxidant aids in skin health. It also supports the health of vessel walls, hence improving blood supply to the skin. 

Benefit #8: Fertility 

CoQ10 improves sperm motility in men and by its antioxidant properties, improves blood supply. As such, CoQ10 increases fertility in both men and women. 

Though our body can produce CoQ10, the ability starts to decline around age 20 and enters a tailspin at the age of 40 and so on until age 80. That is why is it very important to supplement our body with CoQ10 everyday. 

Some of you may be thinking that you can get all these from the normal diet that you are taking everyday. But do you have any idea how much food do you actually need to consume in order to meet the standard amount of CoQ that a healthy body need? 

The recommended daily CoQ10 intake per day is 100 mg. But how much is 100 mg if we are taking it from our daily diet?

100 tablespoons of canola oil

3 kg of red meat

100 cups of boiled broccoli

3.3 kg of peanut butter

Wow! Can you actually eat 100 cups of boiled broccoli in a day? 

Shaklee CoQ10 is called CoQ-Trol. What is so special about our CoQ-trol? 

Shaklee CoQ-Trol now comes with 100 mg of CoQ10, Resveratrol (great antioxidants) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E).

Nutrition Tips For Your Children!

Besides preparing our children with new school clothes, books and supplies, we may neglect the most vital part in ensuring our children grow up healthily - nutrition, vitamins and minerals are important elements to nourish your children's bodies to help them focus in class, retain information and energy to play.

Packing a healthy lunch or a yummy snack for your children can be easy.

Read on to find out more! 

Make Breakfast A Priority

Start the day right with a nutritious breakfast. Encourage your children to fuel up before school, sit down and eat with them. It does not need to be an elaborate hot meal. Simple and easy-to-make options such as eggs on toast, a bowl of wholegrain cereals with milk or oat with fruits are healthy choices of a quick, nutritious breakfast. 

Pack Healthy Snacks 

Your children may be hungry by the end of school. And hungry children are most likely to snack on unhealthy snacks or inclined to overeat. So pack healthy snacks to curb their hunger. Good options include nuts such as walnuts or almonds and fruits such as apples and bananas. This way, your children will not feel too full when they reach home for lunch or afternoon snack. 

Make Lunch Fun

While schools offer a variety of food and beverages, it's advised to pack healthy snacks for your children so they get all the nutrition they need throughout the morning. Make the boring ol' sandwich into a healthier and fun meal by swapping white bread with wholegrain bread or wheat tortilla wraps. Besides lettuce, try adding shredded carrots or avocado slices with chicken meat or turkey ham so your children find excitement in every packed school lunch.

Supplement Wisely

Can your children eat all this is a day???

Vitamin C and Vitamin Bs

Vitamin C encourages collagen production and fights off free-radicals that damage our skin. B vitamins participate in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism to release energy, which is necessary for collagen production in the cell.

Infertility Frustrations: Why 'Trying' to Conceive is So Darn Hard?

Seems like getting a baby is so darn hard nowadays. Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying (or six months if a woman is 35 or older). Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile. 

Do you know that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 10 % of women (6.1 million) in the United States ages 15-44 have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant? 

Why is it so? Should we put all the blame to the female? 

No, infertility is not always a woman's problem. Both women and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by women's problems. Another one third of fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture of male and female problems or by unknown problems.

Infertility in men is most often caused by:

• A problem called varicocele (VAIR-ih-koh-seel). This happens when the veins on a man's testicle(s) are too large. This heats the testicles. The heat can affect the number or shape of the sperm.
• Other factors that cause a man to make too few sperm or none at all.
• Movement of the sperm. This may be caused by the shape of the sperm. Sometimes injuries or other damage to the reproductive system block the sperm.

Sometimes a man is born with the problems that affect his sperm. Other times problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, cystic fibrosis often causes infertility in men.

The most common causes of female infertility include problems with ovulation, damage to fallopian tubes or uterus, or problems with the cervix. age can contribute to infertility because as a woman ages, her fertility naturally tends to decrease. 

The most common causes of female infertility include problems with ovulation, damage to fallopian tubes or uterus, or problems with the cervix. Age can contribute to infertility because as a woman ages, her fertility naturally tends to decrease. 

Do you wish to increase the chance of fertility? If yes, the this is for you. 

1. Go for monthly or quarterly check-ups
2. Keep your weight in check
3. Sleep 8 hours a day
4. Say no to smoke, drugs and alcohol
5. Exercise
6. Keep stress under control
7. Eat healthy
8. Eat a multivitamins 
9. Regular sex
10. Detox

To eat healthy can be very challenging in the modern era. Erratic eating habits, insufficient chewing of food, eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion, making it difficult for our bodies to extract all the nutrients it needs from food. Furthermore, many fruits and vegetables are genetically bred to improve visual appeal and crop yields, not nutritional value, which frequently results in lesser nutritional values than our ancestors' food supply. 

That is why, it is also important to take your supplements if you are unable to eat a healthy diet everyday. 

But how does supplements help to increase the chance of fertility? 

It is always important to choose the right supplements. I would highly recommend supplements from Shaklee because of the following reasons:

 Always SAFE - Over 80,000 tests each year

Always WORKS - $250 million in research

Always GREEN - Environmental leadership

(1) B-Complex

Shaklee B comp comes with folic acid and it is very good for those who are preparing to get pregnant. It can help to prevent stress and good for blood circulation too. Remember, if you are under stress, the chances of you to get pregnant can be very very slim. So, relax and take your B-complex. 

(2) Omegaguard

Omegaguard can help to balance up the male hormone. Normally, there are higher Omega 6 in the male's body. Thus, the Omega 3 from Omegaguard actually helps to balance that hormone. Besides, Omega-3 acids have been shown to help fertility by:

✔Aiding in hormonal regulation

✔Increasing and promoting healthy cervical mucous production

✔Promoting regular ovulation

✔Decreasing inflammatory fertility issues such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts

✔Reducing painful menstruation known as dysmenorrhea

✔Improving the quality of the uterus by increasing the blood flow to the reproductive organs

✔Supporting proper sperm production. By increasing the intake of essential fatty acids through the consumption of fish or cod liver oil, the resulting sperm are healthier, have better motility, and the chances of a successful conception increase.

(3) Vitamin C

Vitamin C is very good for the reproductive system for both male and females. 

Male:

Vitamin C has been shown to improve sperm quality and protect sperm from DNA damage; helping to reduce the chance of miscarriage and chromosomal defects. Vitamin C protects sperm from oxidative damage due to free radicals. Studies show that vitamin C deficiency has been linked to low sperm count, poor sperm motility and morphology. Vitamin C is necessary to not only ensure healthy sperm, but to support them in getting where they need to go.

Female:

Vitamin C Plays A Role In Ovulation And Egg Health. Researchers have shown that ascorbic acid plays an important role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and ovarian function. Ascorbic acid excretion is increased and declines immediately prior to ovulation, and then immediately increases again just after temperature rises post-ovulation. Researchers speculate this reflects uptake of ascorbic acid in the preovulatory ovary, which then facilitates proper ovulation. These ascorbic acid levels are stimulatory to the hormones progesterone and oxytocin, and have been found in high concentrations in the corpus luteum.

(4) Ostematrix 

Shaklee Ostematrix is specially formulated with a matrix of 7 critical nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese and boron. One study shows that calcium is a vital ingredient in the process of triggering growth in embryos. The more calcium in the surrounding fluid, the better. The second study focused on what triggers sperm to abruptly convert their swimming style from a slow and steady swim of side to side motion, to a whip-cracking snap that thrusts them into the egg! What they found was that when the sperm arrived in the alkaline environment of the reproductive tract, it triggers the tails whip-like motion. Minerals (calcium being one of the most important) help to create an alkaline environment in the reproductive tract, the nutrient that sperm soaks up which creates the thrusting towards the egg, is calcium. Long study short, calcium is necessary for conception, a healthy reproductive system, healthy baby, and birth.

(5)  CoQ-Trol

Shaklee CoQ-Trol has proven to help to increase fertility rate by increasing sperm motility and quality. Among 228 infertile men, 114 men were given 200 mg of CoQ-Trol daily, while 114 men act as control. The result of sperm count and motility were encouraging as shown in the bar graph below.

A high level of Coenzyme Q10 found in CoQ-Trol in the mitochondria increases sperm movement!!

CoQ-Trol also acts as antioxidant to protect sperm from free radical damage and BOOST sperm count because it comes with Resveratrol!!

On top of that, CoQ-Trol helps to improve the quality of ovum and also increases the chance of pregnancy. 

(6) ESP (Energized Soy Protein)

Protein is an essential part of any diet, and it is a very crucial diet especially for couples who wished to increase their fertility rate. Women need at least 46 grams of protein every day while preparing for conception and after pregnancy, while men need around 52 grams every day. One of the most important factors in having healthy fertility is keeping your blood sugar level. The easiest way to do this is to make sure you have some protein in every meal you are eating. 

ESP can be a very good option because it has no sugar and it is not sweet at all. Shaklee uses Non-genetically modified (Non-GMO) soy protein produced under Identity Preservation Program (IPP). Each serving provides 14grams of Low Glycemic Index plant based protein. Soy protein helps reduce cholesterol. Has PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) score of 1.0- the highest rating possible and equal to that given animal proteins.

ESP :

✔ give you energy so that you won’t feel exhausted. Try to conceive couple cannot feel stress or too tired.

✔ healthy fertility requires healthy body cells. Protein build healthy cells – good sperms and ovum.

✔helps to stabilized your body blood sugar

I'll definitely pray for a cute Shaklee baby this year.
