Our Formulation Philosophy
Our Formulation Philosophy Have you ever wondered if the supplements you purchase actually work? With so many brands making so many promises, it’s hard to know whom to trust. At Quality of Life, we don’t ask you to take our supplements on faith. Faith is irrelevant when you have research. As a company committed to developing evidencebased products, Quality of Life is the only company in the nutritional supplement industry that can make this guarantee: Every single ingredient in every one of our products is backed by human studies, and delivered in dosages consistent with clinical research. No exceptions. No compromises. Why Human Studies? Currently, nine out of ten experimental drugs fail in clinical studies because we cannot accurately predict how they will behave in people based on laboratory and animal studies.” -Mike Leavitt, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services While test tube and animal studies may help identify promising ingredients worthy of further study, human clinical studies are widely considered the gold standard of scientific research. Why? It’s simply not possibly to make foolproof predictions about how any given substance will function in the human body from test tube or animal studies alone. Humans differ from animals in anatomy, physiology, and metabolism. Consider these examples: • Chocolate is delicious to you, but poisonous to dogs. • Tylenol® is great for relieving your headache, but it’s toxic to cats. • Penicillin will help clear up your ear infection, but it will kill a guinea pig. When you choose Quality of Life, you can trust your supplements to work, because 100 percent of the ingredients in every product we manufacture are backed by human clinical studies. Why Do Dosages Matter? Everyone knows blueberries are a healthy food. Multiple human clinical studies, using about 1 cup per day (about 200 berries), have proven this fact. But what if, in the hopes of getting healthier, you decided to eat a single blueberry a day? Common sense says that eating just one berry daily is unlikely to “keep the doctor away.” This observation is consistent with an accepted principle of both conventional and integrative medicine: Dosages matter. Many natural compounds have been shown to be effective at specific threshold doses, yet have little or no impact at lower ones. Just because eating a daily cup of blueberries is beneficial does not mean that eating one berry a day will have any effect. Unfortunately, it is common practice in the nutritional supplement industry to use dosages of ingredients that are lower than those supported by clinical research. When you choose Quality of Life, you can trust your supplements to work, because 100 percent of the ingredients in every product we manufacture are provided in dosages that match the clinical research.

Unfortunately, while plenty of nutritional supplements claim to have immune-boosting properties, very few compounds have undergone rigorous scientific research. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®), an extract obtained from a hybridization of several subspecies of medicinal mushrooms, is different. The subject of studies at respected medical institutions — including Yale Medical School, MD Anderson, UC Davis and the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital — AHCC is the world’s most-researched specialty immune supplement. Kinoko 750 delivers a high dose of 750 mg of Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) per capsule, providing extra support in immune health management.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies AHCC® § 1 — 3 grams Daily Dose Used in Kinoko 750§ 1.5 — 3 grams Serving size: 1–2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2–4 vegicaps AHCC Benefits: About AHCC Serving Size: 1-2 vegicaps AHCC has been shown to: •Maintain optimal NK cell activity* •Enhance cytokine production* •Promote optimal T-cell activity* •Promote optimal macrophage activity* •Increase the activity and number of dendritic cells* A fermented extract of hybridized medicinal mushroom mycelia (roots), AHCC the world’s most researched specialty immune supplements, supported by over 20 human clinical trials.

If you’re one of the 26 million people who experience seasonal discomfort, you may feel like spring is out to get you. The good news is that while Mother Nature put you in the state you’re in, she can also take you out of it. Research has shown that certain herbs and herbal derivatives may have the power to turn you back into a normal, spring-loving person. Doctorformulated, Allerfin is a unique blend of some of the most researched natural ingredients for helping manage seasonal discomfort.* Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Ingredient Allerinol™ Perilla frutescens extract containing 50-200 mg rosmarinic acid Bromelain 60–900 mg Daily Dose Used in Allerfin§ Perilla frutescens extract containing 100 mg rosmarinic acid 500 mg (2400 GDU) Quercetin 100–400 mg 400 mg Stinging Nettles 300 mg whole herb powder 75 mg of a 4:1 concentrated extract delivering the equivalent of 300 mg whole herb powder § Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Allerfin Benefits: About Allerinol® Serving Size: 2 vegicaps •Supports sinus health With Allerinol™, a proprietary enriched extract of the Japanese herb perilla; bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple; and nettle herbal extract.* •Supports lung health With bromelain, which promotes free and easy breathing.* •Supports eye health With Allerinol and quercetin, both shown to support the health and comfort of the eyes.* Allerinol is a proprietary enriched extract of the Japanese herb perilla that delivers 50 mg of rosmarinic acid per dose.

BONE HEALTH* Triple-Action Bonecal™ Build Your Bones with Triple-Action Bonecal.* Just because you take a calcium supplement doesn’t mean it will end up in your bones. Calcium absorption is a complex physiological process that requires other nutrients to help the calcium reach its destination and to be utilized once it arrives. Triple-Action Bonecal features DimaCal® dicalcium malate (a highly bioavailable form of calcium) plus carefully selected ingredients that help with calcium absorption and deposition, so you can get the full benefits of this important mineral.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Bonecal§ DimaCal (dicalcium malate) 800–1,200 mg 500 mg (equivalent to 800 mg of calcium carbonate) Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 400–1,000 IU 1,000 IU Vitamin K2 (as VitaMK7®) 90–500 mcg 90 mcg Magnesium (magnesium glycinate) 250–750 mg 250 mg (equivalent to 500 mg of magnesium oxide) MBP® 40 mg 40 mg § Serving size: 2 tablets • Daily dose: 4 tablets BoneCal Benefits: •Promotes calcium absorption* With dicalcium malate, one of the bestabsorbed forms of calcium, plus its conutrients, magnesium and vitamin D •Shuttles calcium to the bones* And out of the arteries, with vitamin K2 •Helps calcium attach to the bones* With milk basic protein (MBP®) About MBP Even if your body absorbs calcium, it still needs a way to attach it to your bones. That’s where MBP comes in. A component of whey, MBP helps creates collagen, a protein that allows calcium to “stick” to the framework of existing bone and holds it there.* In addition, MBP keeps excess calcium and collagen from dissolving out of the bones.* The result is enhanced bone mineralization and stronger bones.* Serving Size: 2 tablets Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 500 IU 125% Vitamin K2 45 mcg 56% (as VitaMK7® natural vitamin K2) Calcium 250 mg 25% (as DimaCal® dicalcium malate‡) Magnesium 125 mg 31.3% (as magnesium chelated buffered powder) MBP™ (milk protein) 20 mg † † Daily value not established.

They cause your blood sugar to spike and fall again just as quickly, leaving you tired and craving more carbs. That’s not good, because if you consume more carbs than you need, the excess is stored as fat. Carboquel helps you break out of this cycle. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Carboquel helps you take control of carbs in two ways: right now, by blocking the absorption of carbs, and in the future, by helping prevent future carb cravings.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Carboquel§ Phase 2® 445–1,500 mg 1,500 mg Chromium (as ChromeMate®) 300-400 mcg 400 mcg § Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Carboquel Benefits: About Phase 2 Serving Size: 2 vegicaps •Reduces calories from starchy carbs* With Phase 2 white bean extract •Helps prevent cravings for carbs* With ChromeMate®, a highly absorbable form of chromium •May assist in weight control* By controlling carbs now and in the future* Phase 2 is an all-natural, nonstimulant extract of white beans that blocks starchy carbs from being broken down and absorbed by your body.* In a recent human study, 11 subjects ate a snack of bread and margarine. Those who took 1,500 mg of Phase 2 — the same dose contained in Carboquel — beforehand absorbed 66% less carbohydrate (as glucose) than those who didn’t.* Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Chromium 400 mcg 333% (as chromium polynicotinate) (ChromeMate®) White kidney bean extract (Phaseolus vulgaris) (Phase 2®) † Daily value not established.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. 1500 mg † CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH* Multi-Action CardioChol® Get Heart Smart.* Protecting your heart is the single most important thing you can do for your health. In addition to eating right and exercising, supplementation with nutrients and botanicals is a smart way to give yourself “heart insurance.” The problem is, most supplements focus on just one aspect of heart health, such as blood pressure or cholesterol. But for ultimate heart protection, you need a product that addresses the full range of factors affecting cardiovascular well-being. MultiAction CardioChol works in 4 ways to support your heart and vascular system.* Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in CardioChol§ Plant sterols 2 grams 2 grams Arjuna bark 500-1500 mg 500 mg MicroActive® CoQ10 120 mg of crystalline CoQ10 160 mg of MicroActive CoQ10 complex (with 40 mg of triple-absorption CoQ10) resVida® Resveratrol 30 mg 30 mg Ingredient § Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 4 vegicaps CardioChol Benefits: •Helps maintain blood pressure levels already within normal range With MicroActive® CoQ10*, which is 3x better absorbed than regular CoQ10. •Lowers cholesterol With 2 grams of plant sterols per daył •Promotes clean, flexible arteries With resVida resveratrol* •Supports healthy blood flow to the heart With arjuna bark* ł Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which provide a daily total of at least 0.8 grams of plant sterols, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Ingredients in CardioChol: •3x better absorbed than crystalline CoQ10, MicroActive CoQ10 is the only CoQ10 clinically proven to double CoQ10 levels in 100% of users. •2 grams of plant sterols is the optimal dose, according to a recent meta-analysis of 20 studies. •Bio-identical to the resveratrol in red wine, resVida resveratrol is 99% pure and contains no emodin. •Two human clinical trials have demonstrated that arjuna bark, at a dosage of 500– 600 mg daily, supports healthy blood flow to the heart.* Serving Size: 2 vegicaps Servings Per Container: 60 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Plant phytosterols (from vegetable oils) 1052.5 mg † Total phytosterols minimum 95% (1000 mg) Typical profile: B-sitosterol 40-58%; campesterol 20-30%; stigmasterol 14-22%; brassicasterol 0-6%; and sitostanol 0-5% Terminalia arjuna (bark powder) 250 mg † CoenzymeQ10 as CoQ10-SR® MicroActive® CoQ10 Complex Resveratrol (99% transresveratrol) as resVida® † Daily value not established. 20 mg † 15 mg † SUGGESTED USE: 2 vegicaps twice daily with meals. resVida® is a registered trademark of DSM. MicroActive® is a registered trademark of BioActives LLC. 306.A.120.250 5 CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH* Cardionase™ Support Healthy Blood Clotting.* If it weren’t for blood clots, simple cuts would be life threatening. However, excess blood clotting can cause your blood to become too thick, or viscous — making it difficult for oxygen and nutrients to get to your organs. In fact, the viscosity of your blood is directly related to your blood pressure, circulation, and overall cardiovascular health. Discovered in 1980 by the Japanese researcher Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi, nattokinase is an enzyme that has excellent fibrinolytic (or clot-dissolving) activity. Now there’s a new, improved form of the enzyme developed by Dr. Sumi himself: strain “N” nattokinase, featured in Cardionase™. Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Cardionase§ Nattokinase strain “N” 100–300 mg 100–300 mg § Serving size: 1 softgel • Daily dose: 1-3 softgels Cardionase Benefits: •Supports healthy blood clotting* •Promotes healthy whole blood viscosity, or the thickness of blood* •May improve overall circulation* •Keeps blood cells from sticking together* •Maintains blood pressure levels already within normal range* Why the Strain Matters Nattokinase can be manufactured using one of three different strains of microbes: the Naruse, Miyagino, and Takahashi strains. Serving Size: 1 softgel Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Nattokinase strain “N” as Cardionase™ 100 mg † extract from non-GMO soybeans † Daily value not established. SUGGESTED USE: 1 vegetarian softgel 1-3 times daily before a meal.

Joint HEALTH* Cartiflex™ Increase Joint Mobility & Range of Motion.* When you can move with ease, when your joints feel loose and flexible, you can do the things you want to do — whether that’s playing your favorite sport, taking a stroll around the neighborhood, or just completing simple, everyday tasks. Cartiflex features two clinically tested ingredients — BioCell Collagen® and chondroitin sulfate — that increase the mobility and range of motion of synovial joints.* BioCell Collagen is a patented ingredient whose composition is similar to your own joints, providing hydrolyzed type II collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate supports the matrix structure of cartilage.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies BioCell Collagen 2g Chondroitin sulfate 800–1200 mg Daily Dose Used in Cartiflex§ 2g 800 mg (400 mg from BioCell Collagen + 400 mg from Chondroitin sulfate) § Serving size: 2 capsules • Daily dose: 4 capsules Cartiflex Benefits: • Improves joint flexibility and mobility* BioCell Collagen + chondroitin sulfate • Helps cushion and lubricate the joints* BioCell Collagen helps replenish hyaluronic acid • Promotes a more active daily life* BioCell Collagen + chondroitin sulfate About BioCell Collagen + Chondroitin BioCell collagen, at 2 grams daily, provides a range of naturally occurring constituents, including 400 mg of chondroitin. While BioCell Collagen is effective at this dosage, studies on stand-alone chondroitin sulfate typically utilize 800 mg per day. Cartiflex combines BioCell with 400 mg of extra chondroitin to reach the clinically studied dosages of each ingredient.

The key to healthy joints is healthy cartilage. If you want to look beyond joint comfort and joint mobility, it’s important to make sure your cartilage is in good shape. Cartilast features ASU (avocado soy unsaponifiables) — a natural ingredient made from avocado and soybean oils that may not only help protect existing cartilage but help rebuild new cartilage — plus joint-supportive vitamins and minerals.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Cartilast§ ASU 300 mg 300 mg Boron 6 mg 6 mg Cartilast also includes dosages of vitamin K and vitamin D high enough to bring blood levels within normal range when taken daily. § Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Cartilast Benefits: About ASU •Supports healthy joint function* All four ingredients are associated with better joint health* •May help protect existing cartilage* ASU may protect cartilage from erosion* •May help build new cartilage* ASU may increase the synthesis of collagen and proteoglycan* Cartilast features ASU, one of the most effective natural ingredients for cartilage health.* The proposed mechanism of action of ASU is through increasing the synthesis of collagen and proteoglycan, two components of connective tissue, and inhibiting the release of degradative chemicals.* Serving Size: 2 vegicap Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 1000 IU 250% Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) 90 mcg 112% (VitaMK7®) Boron (as bororganic glycine) 6 mg † Avocado (fruit) and soybean 300 mg † unsaponifiables extract (AvoVida®) (Phytosterols 90 mg) † Daily value not established.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Joint Health* Cartiquil™ Get Joint Comfort, Quickly.* The vast majority of joint health products today feature glucosamine and chondroitin. These ingredients are great for protecting existing cartilage and rebuilding new cartilage, but here’s the catch: They take months to work. Cartiquil is designed to be fast-acting, working in as little as 7 days.* It features three ingredients shown to be effective for promoting joint comfort in human clinical trials: Meriva® curcumin, ApresFLEX boswellia®, and standardized proprietary celery seed extract.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Cartiquil§ Meriva curcumin 1,000 mg 1,000 mg ApresFLEX boswellia 100 mg 100 mg Celery seed extract (85% phthalides) 100 mg 150 mg § Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Cartiquil Benefits: •Promotes joint comfort* With all three ingredients •Supports joint function* With all three ingredients •Works in as little as 7 days* With ApresFLEX boswellia About Standardized Herbal Extracts All the botanicals in Cartiquil — turmeric, boswellia, and celery seed — have been used for centuries to promote joint wellbeing.* New technological advances have allowed for significant improvements in the stability, absorption, and efficacy of these three classic herbs. That’s why Cartiquil features highly absorbable Meriva curcumin, ApresFLEX boswellia, and celery seed extract (standardized to 85% phthalides) rather than straight herbal powders.

Unfortunately, the older you get, the more forgetful you may become. That’s because starting in your twenties, you begin to lose brain cells, a few at a time. As your body ages, it also make less of the chemicals your brain needs to work. Derived from a unique, specially cultivated subspecies of Angelica, the lead ingredient in Cogni-Q (INM®-176) has been clinically documented to protect the brain during aging.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies INM-176 § 800 mg Daily Dose Used in CognI-Q§ 800 mg Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 4 vegicaps CognI•Q Benefits: •Improves cognitive function and reduces age-related mild memory decline*. INM-176 was shown to support cognitive agility in 80 volunteers with mild memory problems associated with aging.* •May prevent oxidation of brain cells*. The active constituents of INM-176 have antioxidant properties that may protect aging brain cells from oxidation (free radical damage*). About INM-176® Developed at one of South Korea’s leading universities, INM-176 is derived from a unique, specially cultivated subspecies of Angelica known as Angelica gigas nakai. It is grown under highly controlled conditions to maximize its bioactive constituents.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Healthy Aging* CoQ10-SR® The CoQ10 You’re 100% Guaranteed to Absorb It’s a well-known fact that across the board, human beings have difficulty absorbing regular (or crystalline) CoQ10. That’s why more bioavailable (or absorbable) forms of this nutrient have been developed. However, bioavailability varies drastically from person to person. Research shows some people are good absorbers of products with “improved bioavailability” CoQ10. Yet others are poor absorbers, and barely absorb any “improved bioavailability” CoQ10 at all. CoQ10-SR with patented MicroActive® CoQ10 is the only form of CoQ10 clinically shown to enhance CoQ10 absorption across all users. Ingredient Coenzyme Q10 Daily Dose Used in Human Studies 30–300 mg crystalline CoQ10 Daily Dose Used in CoQ10-SR§ 60 mg MicroActive CoQ10 plus 40 mg crystalline CoQ10 (providing the equivalent of 220 mg crystalline CoQ10) § Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap CoQ10-SR Benefits: •Provides universal absorption in 100% of users. •3x better absorbed than regular (crystalline) CoQ10. •2x better absorbed than solubilized (“improved bioavailability”) CoQ10 softgels. •Doubles CoQ10 levels in three weeks among 100 percent of people. •Delivers sustained release over 24 hours and needs to be taken only once a day. About CoQ10-SR Through a breakthrough, patented technology, CoQ10-SR with MicroActive CoQ10 solves the problem of CoQ10 malabsorption. Each molecule of fatsoluble CoQ10 is bonded with a molecule of water-soluble cyclodextrin (a natural derivative of starch). Serving Size: 1 vegicap Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Coenzyme Q10 as CoQ10-SR® 100 mg † ® 60 mg CoQ10 as MicroActive Q10 Complex 40 mg as crystalline CoQ10 † Daily value not established. SUGGESTED USE: 1 vegicap daily with a meal. MicroActive®Q10 is protected under US patent # 7,030,102. Because water-soluble molecules have an easier time moving through the digestive system than fat-soluble ones, the cyclodextrin improves CoQ10’s transport to the small intestines. There, it is released and absorbed. 314.A.030.100 11 HEALTHY AGING* Curcumin-SR™ Curcumin with Staying Power Curcumin, the active constituent of turmeric, is one of the most promising ingredients for promoting a healthy inflammation response.* While short-term inflammation is a normal part of immune response, long-term inflammation may increase oxidative stress and contribute to the aging process. Unfortunately, curcumin is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and retain. It’s fat-soluble, so it doesn’t move easily through the watery environment of the digestive system. To make matters worse, what little curcumin is absorbed is quickly excreted. Curcumin-SR features MicroActive® Curcumin complex, which delivers curcumin in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix to increase absorption and bioavailability. Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Curcumin-SR§ Curcumin 300–2,000 mg regular curcumin 125 mg MicroActive Curcumin (providing the equivalent of 1,000 mg of regular curcumin) § Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap Curcumin Benefits: About Curcumin-SR™ •Delivers sustained release over 8 hours Released slowly over time so blood levels stay consistently elevated •Is absorbed faster Elevates blood levels more quickly than regular resveratrol •More bioavailable than regular curcumin A special matrix keeps the curcumin from being rapidly excreted MicroActive technology micronizes and encapsulates the active ingredient in a tailor-made matrix to increase its bioavailability. For fat-soluble ingredients, a custom matrix is developed to allow for quicker transit through the digestive system, so you don’t have to wait hours to absorb them. For watersoluble ingredients, a custom matrix is developed to allow for slower transit, so they can continue to be absorbed hours after they’ve been ingested. The result is a sustained-release product that works now — and later!

DIGESTIVE SUPPORT* Deodorex® Eliminate Embarrassing Body Odors With Deodorex.* Body odor, bad breath and flatulence can all make you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed in social settings. Offensive smells are more than just embarrassing, though. They’re a sign that your digestive system is converting a portion of the food you eat into toxic chemicals that may be harmful to your health. Deodorex contains a patented, proprietary extract from the edible champignon mushroom called Champex®. Deodorex works from the inside out to effectively reduce body odors where they originate, by decreasing levels of these toxic chemicals in the intestines and blood.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Champex® 200–1500 mg Daily Dose Used in Deodorex§ 400 mg § Serving size: 2 vegicaps • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Deoderex Benefits: How Deodorex Works Serving Size: 2 vegicaps •Decreases body odors.* A human study found Champex decreased body odors — including ammonia, indole, phenol, skatole, and sulfides — by 40-60 percent.* •Fights bad breath.* In a study of female college students, nearly two-thirds of subjects reported that Champex was effective in eliminating garlic breath.* •Purifies the blood.* Yet another study found that Champex reduced average levels of ammonia in the blood by 52 percent.* Deodorex decreases levels of toxic, odorcausing chemicals in the intestines and blood.* How? •The amino acids in Deodorex neutralize unpleasant odors caused by ammonia and amines* •The polyphenols in Deodorex bond to mercaptans and amines to form odorless chemicals* •The polysaccharides in Deodorex control foul odors in a variety of chemical structures* •Deodorex also increases levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which inhibits the production of odor-causing chemicals* Servings Per Container: 30 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Champex® 400 mg † Concentrated champignon extract (Agaricus bisporus), dextrin, and DL-malic acid † Daily value not established.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT* Lipoquel™ Fight the Fat on Two Fronts!* Fatty foods can be hard to resist, and it’s not hard to understand why. Scientists have discovered they activate the same pleasure centers in the brain as heroin and cocaine!

With Lipoquel, you can eat fats in moderation — without sabotaging your weight loss efforts. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Lipoquel helps you burn the fat you already have, promoting weight loss, and blocks the absorption of dietary fats, helping prevent weight gain.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies Daily Dose Used in Lipoquel§ Chitoglucan™ 300–400 mg 400 mg § Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 2 vegicaps Lipoquel Benefits: About Chitoglucan •Helps burn existing fat* Contains a proprietary complex of fatburning lipids •Blocks dietary fat absorption* Contains a bioactive form of fat-blocking vegetable Chitosan Manufactured through a patented proprietary process, Chitoglucan is a clinically proven extract of the edible enokitake mushroom.

New research reveals we can slow down — and possibly even reverse — the aging process. Recently, scientists have uncovered a significant contributing factor to aging: the degradation of mitochondria, our bodies: natural power plants. When enough mitochondria become damaged, or their quantities diminish, they are not able to produce sufficient energy to keep all the organs going. In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (or PQQ for short). One of PQQ’s key actions is to preserve the quantity and function of the mitochondria.* Ingredient Daily Dose Used in Human Studies PQQ 20 mg Daily Dose Used in VitaPQQ§ 20 mg § Serving size: 1 vegicap • Daily dose: 1 vegicap VitaPQQ Benefits: About VitaPQQ Because of its actions on the mitochondria, PQQ may help: In 2003, Japanese researchers rocked the scientific world with their discovery of the first new vitamin since 1948: pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). •Support mitochondrial health, by protecting mitochondrial function and promoting the generation of new mitochondria.* •Slow the aging process, by limiting the damage to the mitochondria.* •Boost your energy level, by making more energy available for physical activity.* Serving Size: 1 vegicap Amount Per Serving Servings Per Container: 30 % Daily Value Pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt (PQQ) as BioPQQ™ † Daily value not established.

The answer to that question has eluded scientists for years. But now, exciting new scientific evidence suggests that one of the main causes of mild memory problems associated with aging is damage to the mitochondria — the energy-generating “power plants” of the cells. Enhanced VitaPQQ features PQQ — one of the only substances shown to increase both the quantity and function of mitochondria in animal models — plus BioQ10SA (a highly bioavailable form of CoQ10 developed to work with PQQ).
