Mitochondria and the Evolution of Human Longevity
Mitochondria provide fuel for living, but are degraded with normal aging. Scientists now believe that human mitochondria evolved in a way that enables the human species to outlive most others on the planet. Learn how to maintain optimal mitochondrial function.
Antioxidants, Mitochondrial Damage, and Human Aging

CoQ10 and Cancer
Breast cancer will kill 40,000 women this year, yet startling research reviewed by the National Cancer Institute reveals that CoQ10 may be an effective adjuvant treatment. Even newer studies document how CoQ10 kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells and how CoQ10 enhances the anti-tumor effects of the breast cancer drug tamoxifen. Human trials are desperately needed to confirm CoQ10’s potential to save thousands from needlessly dying of breast and other cancers.
