Heart Rx Heart Supplement is the ultimate antioxidant and
cardiovascular support formula.
Contains Idebenone and other
Essential Heart Co-Factors.
Idebenone
[2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(10-hydroxydecyl)-1,4-benzoquinine] is
a synthetic analog of CoQ10, the vital cell membrane antioxidant
and essential constituent of th ATP-producing mitochondrial
electron transport chain (ETC). Idebenone is a potent
antioxidant, with the ability to operate under low oxygen
tension situations. Because of its ability to to inhibit lipid
peroxidation, idebenone protects cell membranes and mitochondria
from oxidative damage. Its antioxidant properties protect
against cerebral ischemia and nerve damage in the central
nervous system. This compound has also been shown to stimulate
nerve growth factor, a characteristic that could be important in
the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative
diseases.
Idebenone is six times more potent than CoQ10 in
its antioxidant abilities. In fact, studies indicate the
idebenone is 400 times more effective than Vitamin E or
vinpocetine as a free radical quencher. Idebenone protects under
hypoxic conditions, a situation where CoQ10 acts quite the
opposite. This may be the most advantageous property of
idebenone. When the body's oxygen level drops, such as during a
heart attack, stroke, or surgery, low-oxygen conditions can
cause a situation where CoQ10 may stop acting as an antioxidant
and, instead, start producing free radicals. Idebenone however
continues to function in low-oxygen environments, preventing
damage to the body when it is most vulnerable. Superior
low-oxygen performance is why idebenone is used to safeguard
organs during transplants. In fact, idebenone is eight times
more potent than aspirin as a blood-clot inhibitor.
Idebenone
has been shown to increase Nerve Growth Factor and enhanced
Cholinergic Activity, thereby showing it to have cognitive
enhancement abilities. German studies showed that 90mg of
idebenone administered daily to Alzheimer patients, thereafter
showed statistically significant improvement. As a result of the
studies, idebenone is being used in the treatment of senile
dementias, particularly Alzheimer's disease. Idebenone has been
deemed safe and effective, in fact, for the treatment of
Alzheimer's patients due to this recent landmark study. It's
been shown that if you can catch and treat it early before it
becomes a major problem, idebenone can retard the natural
progression of the disease.
Idebenone is a primary
constituent of the Heart-Rx formula. Heart-Rx actually contains
a significant dosage of 100mg of idebenone per tablet, along
with multiple co-factors to improve blood and nutrient flow to
the heart muscle.
Heart-Rx also contains: Acetyl-L-Carnitine,
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Vitamin B6,
Folic Acid, Niacinamide (vitamin B3), Vitamin E, Vitamin C,
Phytosterols and Hawthorn Berry Extract.
