QAL™ Technology
The three key ingredients of the QAL-100™ formula are:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid
- Coenzyme Q10
- Acetyl L Carnitine
Alpha Lipoic Acid
A sulphur containing fatty acid found inside each cell in the body,
this
highly potent anti-oxidant counteracts reactive free radicals in
the
mitochondria, where energy is produced for all cellular activities.
Scientists believe that mitochondrial free radicals play an important
role
in human ageing and believe that extra amounts of free radical-inhibiting
lipoic acid can slow ageing. Alpha Lipoic Acid is also effective
in
recycling other anti-oxidants such as vitamins C and E back to their
original form after they detoxify free radicals.
Co-enzyme Q10
Otherwise known as Ubiquinone, this vitamin-like substance contains
exceptional antioxidant properties which play a crucial part in stemming
the ageing process. By generating cellular energy and scavenging
free
radicals, Co-enzyme Q10 protects against fine lines and wrinkles
by
preventing damage to collagen and elastin production. Maintaining
sufficient levels of Co-enzyme Q10 can be hampered by factors such
as
ageing, poor eating habits, stress and infection.
Acetyl L Carnitine
A naturally occurring nutrient in the body, this amino acid boosts
mitochondrial energy production through its ability to facilitate
both small
and medium chain fatty acids. Acetyl L Carnitine also lowers lowers
oxidative damage in the cell. |
