Your Cardio Routine Means Nothing Without This 1 Thing

Ask any cardiologist and he or she will tell you that exercise plays a key role in heart health.

Don’t get me wrong, it DOES. Being a former fitness trainer, I know the value of proper
exercise. The point I want to make is this:

Exercise isn’t enough to counteract a diet lacking in heart-healthy nutrients, and there’s 1 nutrient that outshines them all when it comes to your cardiovascular health: CoQ10

I know you’ve heard of this coenzyme before, but do you know what it does? Or what makes it such a to key component to life itself?

Here’s just a quick look at why CoQ10 is so important:

It functions as an energy transfer molecule, helping to transport adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to where it’s needed.

ATP is basically a cell’s energy source and is responsible for transferring energy between cells. Translation? Without sufficient levels of CoQ10, our very cells lack what they need to thrive.

CoQ10 is also one of the most powerful antioxidants. Being concentrated in the cell’s mitochondria, it’s our body’s first line of defense against free radicals produced through energy production.

On top of that, researchers say proper CoQ10 supplementation can help prevent or treat:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Mitochondrial disorders
  • Migraines
  • Kidney failure
  • Blood clots
  • And so much more

So…now that you know how vitally important CoQ10 is for your heart and the health of your very cells, the question becomes “How do I get it in its purest form?”

I’ll tell you, but you have to promise not to close this email in disgust, okay? The most natural (& most potent) form of CoQ10 is found in raw, grass-fed heart meat.

Modern science attests to this fact, but our primitive ancestors knew the value of organs long before we had the technology to prove it. The vitality they gained from consuming raw heart meat was enough to make them cherish it above all other parts of an animal.

Organ meats provide the most concentrated amounts of nearly every life-sustaining nutrient. The heart, in particular, offers a potent blend of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that boost stamina, builds muscle, improves endurance and conserves energy:

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin B12
  • Iron
  • Selenium
  • Folic Acid
  • Zinc
  • Phosphorus
  • All essential amino acids
  • And more

As beneficial as this organ is, I’m guessing you’re not running off to your kitchen to sauté up some cow hearts? I understand. Consuming raw organs doesn’t exactly suit our busy lifestyles - or taste buds for that matter…

That’s why an all-natural organ supplement is the best answer for so many us.

Raw is ideal, but the next best thing is a high-quality heart organ supplement. Notice I said “high-quality.” Virtually all of a heart’s nutrients can be rendered useless if not processed in just the right way.

With that said, there are 2 main things you need to consider when looking for a wholesome organ supplement:

1. How Is It Processed?

Most supplements are spray dried at very high temperatures. Unfortunately, organ meats are especially susceptible to heat damage. In fact, intense heat actually denatures the proteins that make these organs so nutritious. Look for supplements that are gently freeze-dried like our Grass-Fed Organ Complex.

2. Are There Any Additives?

On the back of any supplement bottle, you’ll see in small print a list of “Other Ingredients.” These almost always include additives, fillers or flow agents like rice flour or magnesium stearate.

Keep in mind an organ supplement isn’t pure if it isn’t purely organs. Our Grass-Fed Organ Supplement contains only nutrient-dense organs and gelatin capsules. Pure and simple.

Whether you want to support your heart with CoQ10 or you’re looking for a truly whole-food multivitamin, grass-fed organs are home to a powerhouse of nutrients with benefits for your entire body.
