Our Top 6 Recommended Full Script Supplement
1. Ubiquinol (CoQ10)
Ubiquinol is the active form of CoQ10. It performs many essential functions in your body and plays a critical role in producing cellular energy that is required for your organs to function properly. In clinical studies that have compared Ubiquinol to conventional CoQ10, it has been shown that Ubiquinol is absorbed by the body more efficiently. As we age our body's endogenous production of CoQ10 declines, and many health practitioners believe supplementing is essential for those over 40 years old.

4. Garlic (Allicin)
Though we typically refer to garlic when cooking meals, in ancient times, its most common use was medicinal. Garlic releases sulfur compounds when crushed or chopped up. One of these compounds is allicin, which provides many health benefits.

•Can alleviate “Back Pumps”
