INCREDIBLE INGREDIENTS

Ginseng, coenzyme Q10, and alpha lipoic acid are three incredible ingredients that have been used medically over the last 20 years. Ginseng has been used for over 2,000 years in Oriental medicine to increase energy, counter the effects of stress, and enhance intellectual and physical performance. In modern times we also use it for stabilizing blood sugar and supporting immune function. Coenzyme Q10 is used for heart conditions and for all kinds of inflammatory periodontal diseases including gingivitis. Alpha lipoid acid is one of the most exciting new discoveries in modern medicine! It has successfully been used in cases of diabetic polyneuropathy in Europe with the result that it indicated long-term improvement in motor and sensory nerve conduction in the lower limbs of diabetics. Alpha lipoic acid also been shown to be useful for modulating insulin sensitivity in type II diabetics in several studies. Alpha lipoic acid is being used as part of an antioxidant approach to the treatment of hepatitis C along with selenium and herb silymarin at the Integrative Medical Center of New Mexico.
