It is a matrix of more than 20 strains of friendly bacteria and yeasts living together in a symbiotic relationship. It is the non dairy version of milk kefir. It is used in the fermenting of a sugary water solution (can be juice) and will produce a slightly fizzy anti-oxidant drink filled with enzymes, vitamins, minerals and friendly bacteria (probiotic). It is a very healthy drink and is easily made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How does it work&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is made by fermenting tibicos in a sugary water solution. The sugar in the water provide food for the microflora of bacteria and yeast. The bacteria basically breakdown the sugar and convert it to food for the yeast. In doing so, byproducts beneficial to us are produced such as  enzymes, lactic acid and vitamin B complex. The common microflora found in tibicos are strains of  bacteria from the lactobacilli, streptococci and yeast saccharomyces species, totaling more than 20 different strains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is it especially good for?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drinking kefir on a regular basis is extremely beneficial to clean our intestinal tract and replenish the much needed good strong bacteria to fight pathogenic bacteria overgrowth. Most of our guts are not balanced due to our overuse of antibiotic, poor diet and environmental toxins. The lack of good bacteria gives rise to an imbalance inner ecosystem since they are not kept in check by good bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of our diseases start from a poor digestive and bowel system, from allergy, to poor immunity, irritable bowel syndrome, bloated stomach, rapid aging and so on. Taking milk and/or water kefir can restore our gut health, improve bowel conditions such as abdominal bloatedness, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, better sleep and so on. Please note that this is not medical advice, just a report of what others have found out by consuming kefir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Who should drink water kefir?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Those with any kind of bowel and digestive related issues&lt;br /&gt;-Those who wants a healthy enzyme, anti-oxidant and probiotic rich drink&lt;br /&gt;-Those who find taking probiotic supplements expensive (water kefir is very cheap to make and the grains lasts forever&amp;#33;)&lt;br /&gt;-Those who are addicted to unhealthy commercial soft drink and looking for an alternative (water kefir is fizzy and many different recipes gives different flavors&amp;#33;)&lt;br /&gt;- Those who are unable to tolerate any dairy or prefers to go on a dairy free diet, water kefir is an excellent alternative. It is vegan probiotics that contains much more than just friendly bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to make water kefir?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just place the tibicos grains in about 750ml of water with some sugar (rock cane sugar, molass), cover the jar, leave for 24 hours, remove the grains for another batch and that&amp;#39;s it&amp;#33; Bottled it up, place in the fridge and enjoy. Of course, there are other variation to this recipe for different taste and nutrition. &lt;br /&gt;You can also use tibicos grains to ferment coconut water or even ginger water, making coconut water kefir and ginger ale&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just contact me for more details and I&amp;#39;d be most happy to give you more details and directions  &lt;!--emo&amp;:nod:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/nod.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nod.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>

            <title>Coenzyme Q10 Natural Factors</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2947329</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Natural Factors Coenzyme Q10, 100mg 60 softgels, &lt;br /&gt;unwanted gifts, only 2 bottles available, &lt;br /&gt;GNC selling RM184 for 100mg 30 caps, selling only RM92 per bottle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;RM92 per bottle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;COD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Taman Connaught Cheras&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;012-6850977&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coenzyme Q10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Restores energy and vitality, required for every cell in the body and is the key to chemical reactions that produce cellular energy (Just as an automobile engine with poor spark plugs chokes, sputters and dies, without enough CoQ10, (our cellular spark plug) our health can break down, resulting in all kinds of degenerative diseases.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benefits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•	Nature’s anti-aging nutrient.  Lack of CoQ10 may not be the reason you age, but it can be a factor in how FAST aging occurs.&lt;br /&gt;•	Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance that’s found naturally in the body and helps convert food into energy. &lt;br /&gt;•	CoQ10 is found in almost every cell in the body, and it is a powerful antioxidant.&lt;br /&gt;•	Antioxidants fight damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process, as well as a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer. &lt;br /&gt;•	Antioxidants, such as CoQ10, can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.&lt;br /&gt;•	Some researchers believe that CoQ10 may help with heart-related conditions, because it can improve energy production in cells, prevent blood clot formation, and act as an antioxidant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uses&lt;br /&gt;Heart Problems&lt;br /&gt;One clinical study found that people who took daily CoQ10 supplements within 3 days of a heart attack were less likely to have subsequent heart attacks and chest pain. They were also less likely to die of heart disease than those who did not take the supplements. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High Blood Pressure&lt;br /&gt;Several clinical studies involving small numbers of people suggest that CoQ10 may lower blood pressure. However, it may take 4 - 12 weeks to see any change. In one analysis, after reviewing 12 clinical studies, researchers concluded that CoQ10 has the potential to lower systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 10 mm Hg, without significant side effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High cholesterol&lt;br /&gt;People with high cholesterol and on statin (cholesterol lowering drugs) tend to have lower levels of CoQ10. This is because the ability to produce CoQ10 is destroyed by the cholesterol lowering drugs which is why those on statin drugs have low energy levels. Taking CoQ10 supplements can bring levels back to normal. Plus, studies show that CoQ10 may decrease the muscle pain associated with statin treatment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diabetes&lt;br /&gt;CoQ10 supplements may improve heart health and blood sugar and help manage high blood pressure in people with diabetes. Two studies found that 100 mg of CoQ10 twice daily improved A1c levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart damage caused by chemotherapy&lt;br /&gt;Several clinical studies suggest that CoQ10 may help prevent heart damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs, adriamycin, or other athracycline medications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heart surgery&lt;br /&gt;Clinical research indicates that introducing CoQ10 prior to heart surgery, including bypass surgery and heart transplantation, can reduce damage caused by free radicals, strengthen heart function, and lower the incidence of irregular heart beat (arrhythmias) during the recovery phase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gum (Periodontal) disease&lt;br /&gt;Gum disease is a common problem that causes swelling, bleeding, pain, and redness of the gums. Clinical studies show that people with gum disease tend to have low levels of CoQ10 in their gums. A few studies with small numbers of people found that CoQ10 supplements led to faster healing and tissue repair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other&lt;br /&gt;Preliminary clinical studies also suggest that CoQ10 may:&lt;br /&gt;•	Improve immune function in people with HIV or AIDS&lt;br /&gt;•	Increase sperm motility, improving male fertility&lt;br /&gt;•	Be used as part of the treatment for Parkinson&amp;#39;s disease&lt;br /&gt;•	Improve exercise ability in people with angina&lt;br /&gt;•	Help prevent migraines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Source: Coenzyme Q10 | University of Maryland Medical Center) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To choose the best CoQ10, it must be manufactured using a proprietary continuous fermentation process to ensure that only the natural “all-trans”, (pharmacologically active) form of CoQ10 is produced, identical to the form produced by the human body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Manufacture of Natural Factors® CoQ10 is involves extraction of the CoQ10 from the microorganism, followed by purification, crystallization and drying. The result is pure CoQ10, that is completely free of any contamination by undesirable residue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[B]GNC retail price (100mg, 30 capsules) is RM184.90&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Natural Factors in Malaysia is only available in 30mg, 30 vegicaps&lt;br /&gt;The above product is imported from the US and comes in 100mg and 60 capsules. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Directions:&lt;br /&gt;Take 1 capsule daily after food. (Preferable after breakfast or lunch)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--emo&amp;B]--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
