MetQE Elite AntiOxidant
Helps With...
The generation of oxygen radicals is a result of normal metabolism and is crucial for certain cellular events. When the production of oxygen radicals becomes excessive, deleterious biological processes begin to accumulate. Your body struggles to keep these oxygen radicals, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), in check. However, especially in today's environment your body has difficulty suppressing the negative effects of ROS. For example, the harmful effects of cholesterol are due the peroxidation (caused by ROS) of lipids, or fat, carried in the LDL particle not cholesterol as is commonly believed. Therefore, MHL has formulated the MetQE Elite Antioxidant product to help your body control ROS in the body.
This is a great product to accompany many of our other products especially Cholestat given its potent anti-oxidation ability and impact on cholesterol. Moreover, levels of CoQ10 tend to be lower in people with high cholesterol compared to healthy individuals of the same age. In addition, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins (such as cerivastatin, pravastatin and simvastatin) appear to deplete natural levels of CoQ10 in the body. Taking CoQ10 supplements can correct the deficiency caused by statin medications without affecting the medication`s positive effects on cholesterol levels.

Key Ingredients
Beta Carotene
Beta carotene is the precursor to Vitamin A which has several biological functions. It serves as a potent anti-oxidant but is more well-known for its functional involvement in glycoprotein synthesis. These properties make beta carotene particularly useful for degeneration of eye function.
High gamma Vitamin E
Also known as tocopherols, these fat-soluble vitamins help protect fatty cell membranes from turning rancid, also known as oxidizing. As distinguished from d-alpha tocopherols, the mixed, high gamma tocopherols used in our formulas are much more effective and safer. This lipid antioxidant helps keep unsaturated fats (such as omega-3 fatty acids) in cellular membranes from oxidizing as well as prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol which, when oxidized, becomes one of the major players in atherosclerosis. Vitamin E also helps cells` surface receptors "hear" the signals of critical hormonal messengers.
Tocotrienols
Tocotrienols are a form of Vitamin E but function differently. These are powerful anti-oxidants that have been shown to protect nerve cells from cell death. Their potent anti-oxidant effects have been suggested to benefit a number of conditions including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, cholesterol/atherosclerosis, and cancer. Related to the impact on cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis, tocotrienols have been shown to reduce the activity of HMG-CoA, the enzyme responsible for synthesizing cholesterol.
CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), or ubiquinone, is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in nearly every cell of the body. Found in highest concentration in cell mitochondria (where energy is produced), its primary function is to help convert food into energy.
Although CoQ10 is involved in every bodily process that requires energy, it`s believed to be of fundamental importance in cells with high metabolic demands, such as cardiac cells. The heart, with extremely high energy requirements, requires appropriately high amounts of CoQ10. Studies show that CoQ10 supports healthy blood pressure, promotes healthy immune-system function, and may reduce risk of cancer.
Phosphatidyl Serine
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a nutrient that maintains the integrity of cell membranes and protects cells against age-related deterioration. PS has been shown to be effective at helping to improve memory and neural function.
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K has been shown to have much more significant effects than just being involved in blood clotting. It has been shown to be critical in regulating calcium metabolism, in particular where calcium is put. Vitamin K is necessary to build particular proteins that not only increases bone strength, but also holds calcium. Additionally and extremely importantly, it keeps calcium out of arteries. It had been assumed that people were unlikely to suffer inadequate quantities of vitamin K since it can be manufactured by bacteria in the colon. However, in this day and age of extensive antibiotic overuse it has been shown that inadequate quantities of vitamin K are frequently produced. Vitamin K2 is particularly bioavailable.
