QH-absorb + PQQ

Good product

How do I love thee PQQ? Let me count the ways!My husband has severe congestive heart failure. So bad that in March 2008 I was told by a local electrophysiologist that I "don't understand you are taking your husband home to die... that he will be dead within 2 weeks, probably a few days." Well, being stubborn, I reached out to my friends who introduced me to the book Sinatra Solution by Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra, MD where we put Metabolic Cardiology to work. One of the keys in Metabolic Cardiology is co-enzymeQ10. We later learned about ubiquinol, then more recently about PQQ after experiencing significant cardiac decline thanks to overzealous use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics by several doctors. We discovered that FQ antibiotics are infamous for damaging mitochondrial DNA. Great. Just great. NONE of the medical professionals informed us of this issue, NONE of the medical professionals took ownership for helping him recover after he was once again seriously harmed at the hands of so-called medical professionals.Once I uncovered the power of PQQ we put it to work. Within a few days it was quite evident that when he took QH+PQQ he was somewhat functional again, but when it had been more than 12 hours since a dose of QH+PQQ he was once again a nearly bedridden cardiac patient. The real truth was the day that we believe that ONLY due to taking 4 to 6 QH+PQQ a day, was he able to attend an MLB baseball game to watch our beloved Cardinals in action (see the included photo).Ubiquinol is vital to the health of mitochondria for ATP production. The QH+PQQ is a GREAT source of these vital nutrients, particularly for cardiac patients and those wanting the very best energy production in their bodies.Since we discovered PQQ we realized another problem - those FQ antibiotics also set the stage for other unwanted intestinal situations. Once we combined the QH+PQQ with intestinal support of Jarrow Forumulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS along with Garden of Life Ultimate Care 34 strain probiotics the turnaround was quite remarkable. Bottom line, the more grave the situation, the more vital it is to try everything possible to support the heart and overall health. This is what we've been doing the past nearly EIGHT YEARS since he was given a grim prognosis, We're fully confident that given a few more weeks he'll be firmly back on his feet cardiac wise. We owe the credit for this remarkable turn around for our friend who introduced us to the Sinatra Books, Dr. Stephan Sinatra for publishing such vital information validating that yes, indeed, metabolic cardiology WORKS as well as the researchers and companies like Jarrow Formulas who bring the latest in nutrition science available to us.Still wondering if PQQ is safe? PQQ is found naturally in beans, parsley, green tea, potatoes, fermented foods and more; human breast milk is one of the highest sources of natural PQQ.Since learning about PQQ being naturally available in human breast milk (and the significance that one of the highest food sources of PQQ is in breast milk...) I've realized the significance that PQQ is likely vital for the infant to develop strong mitochondrial DNA particularly in the developing heart. I'm floored that I've never seen PQQ mentioned on an infant formula label.... perchance the increased usage of infant formula without PQQ be linked to the increasing rates of cardiovascular disease and muscular dysfunction common in today's western society? I'd like to see more research on this relevant topic.

The media could not be loaded. Jarrow Formulas QH plus PQQ is a revolutionary blend of active Co-Q-10 and PQQ that should become part of every health conscious person's diet. The pills are a little large, but are smooth and fairly easy to swallow. There is no unpleasant odor or aftertaste, and most importantly no gluten, no common allergens, no inflammatories, and no non-vegetarian ingredients.After discovering that I could not fit into one of my suits this summer I embarked on the low carb high fat diet and lost 15 pounds in a matter of weeks. Reading further about health and nutrition I transitioned to the Paleo Diet which promised amazing health benefits. For a considerable boost to my health, I found that Paleo experts recommended a combination of Co-Q-10 and PQQ and at first it was difficult to come by.Then I discovered Jarrow Formulas QH plus PQQ. I have been taking it for a couple of weeks and I have not felt this good in years. I have energy that has eluded me for a long time. My alertness and memory have also improved incrementally. It may be that I will plateau at some point, but for the time being this formula in combination with a low carb high fat version of the Paleo Diet has been amazing. It has really worked for me. I recommend it to everyone.

I always want to know exactly how large the supplements are before I buy them sight unseen. So I put photos of a typical 500 mg acetaminophen tablet on one side (the white tablet) and an ordinary 325 full sized round aspirin on the other side. The Jarrow 200 mg dark gel capsule is in the middle with a ruler in the background. And the other thing I like to see is the label on the back side of the bottle. They never show it and they never show the size of the pills or capsules in the advertising. They will show anything and talk about everything except this. So this is my main contribution. See the photos below.I've been taking Co-Enzyme Q10 for decades, possibly for well over 25 years. First I’ll say this is a very good supplement and I will always continue to take it only in the form of Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb, 200 mg Softgels. But do not be lulled into thinking it will cure everything about your heart, especially as you get older. In recent years, I started taking the QH version. It's difficult to ever know if the long term benefits are working for you or not. But better safe than sorry is my motto.A few days before Thanksgiving 2016, I had sudden serious pain right in the middle of my chest – happened on three different days before the last one got my attention enough to go to the emergency room. The cardiologists thought it was a heart attack as well, but the enzymes in the blood tests said it wasn’t a heart attack. My personal cardiologist arrived at the hospital and decided to do a cardiac catheterization where dye is injected into the heart’s arteries to check for blockages or narrowing of my arteries. He was astonished to see my arteries were, in his words, remarkably clear. I said you mean for my age? No, he replied – for any age. No plaque at all.Thanksgiving morning, the pain struck very bad, but the pain migrated downward toward my liver and I immediately knew what it was – gallstones stuck in the duct. The pain can feel like it’s in your chest, but it’s not. I had my gallbladder removed a month later and it was full of stones and sludge and two polyps – fortunately benign.I grew up on a cattle ranch. I have no idea how many calves I’ve eaten, but a lot in my 73 years. I took Lipitor for years, until I learned of its shady past – research built upon manipulated data, mainly omissions on purpose. I stopped taking it immediately and strangely, my cholesterol slowly improved.It’s the size of LDL that matters. The small balls of LDL are the dangerous ones. The big LDL just bounces off. Small LDL sticks in cracks and crevices or injuries and just keeps sticking more and more. Doctors never test for LDL size. You can get a CRP test, C-Reactive Protein as a potential indication. My CRP has always been below 1.0. Most all my life, my cholesterol and triglycerides were terribly high. Now my total cholesterol is very near the low end of normal including triglycerides. And my diet is still awful – the complete opposite of what you’d expect from my blood tests.But what I did do starting about age 50 was to take Vitamin B12, B6 and Folic Acid (B9) in the right combination to prevent plaque from forming. You can search for the recommended balance of these three nutrients online. Just type those three vitamins followed by the word plaque. I’ve been taking those vitamins for 23 years.And now that I know my arteries are clean, I hope these Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb, 200 mg Softgels will help keep my heart and my brain going at least a couple more decades. Clean arteries in the heart and carotid arteries usually mean your brain has clean arteries, too. I just had a 3 Tesla MRI of my brain and it all looks good – no hint of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Always insist upon a 3 Tesla strength MRI machine – not the 1.5 T versions or worse yet, some old open MRIs that are 0.9 Tesla or worse. Not all MRI machines are even close to being the same.
