Naqu is a supplement which belongs in the category of “sulphurised” antioxidants.
NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) is an amino acid that facilitates the synthesis of glutathione and forms the glutathione-peroxidase enzyme, which has an important protective function towards numerous cytotoxic substances.
Selenium is a trace element which makes an integral and essential component of this enzyme.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an essential enzymatic cofactor present in the tissues, where it has an antioxidant function both in its oxidised and reduced form.
It is involved in the synthesis of glutathione and facilitates the function of Vitamin E.
Glutathione is the most important antioxidant available for our cells.
It is widespread in all tissues and concentrated mainly in the liver, where it has an important protective action.
NAC also contributes to reducing the plasmatic levels of homocysteine, which is considered a dangerous cardiovascular risk factor.
It has been traditionally known and used for its mucolytic and expectorant features.
Coenzyme Q10, in the form of water-soluble ubiquinol, is an essential element in the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
It is a compound with high antioxidant function, especially in muscle and heart tissues, where its function is vital.
It has been studied for its potential benefits on the brain.
Its supplementation has shown specific benefits in case of subjects affected by cardiovascular diseases, such as angina pectoris and hypertension, as well as in case of athletes and the elderly.
Supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 is essential in case of people who take statins, a category of anti-cholesterol drugs whose chronic intake may lead to deficiency in Coenzyme Q10, associated with side effects, such as muscle pain and fatigue.
Naqu is indicated as a specific antioxidant support to facilitate the recovery of athletes and people affected by cardiovascular diseases. It reduces the production of glycation products (AGE’s), thus boosting a strong anti-ageing action and fighting premature ageing. People who use “statin” drugs can find a regular intake of the product beneficial. People with chronic bronchitis and respiratory tract hypersecretions can use Naqu regularly, especially during the cold season.
Take 1 tablet a day, after a meal with half a glass of water.
PACKAGING 30 x 1300 mg tablets.
