Creatine is one of the most widely studied and effective supplements for improving physical performance and has some potential cognitive benefits too. It’s a naturally occurring compound stored in your muscles (and brain) and used to produce energy quickly.

Here’s why creatine is beneficial:

⸻

⚡ 1. Boosts Energy Production
• Creatine helps regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s main energy currency.
• This means during short bursts of high-intensity exercise (like sprinting, weightlifting, martial arts), your muscles can work harder and longer.

⸻

🏋️ 2. Improves Exercise Performance
• Increases strength and power output.
• Helps with high-intensity, explosive movements.
• Can improve training volume (you can do more reps or sets).

⸻

💪 3. Supports Muscle Growth
• Enhances training performance, leading to greater muscle gains over time.
• Draws water into muscle cells, which may help stimulate muscle protein synthesis.

⸻

🔋 4. Aids Recovery
• May reduce muscle cell damage and inflammation after intense exercise.
• Helps speed up recovery between sessions.

⸻

🧠 5. Potential Brain Benefits
• The brain also uses ATP for energy, and creatine may support mental performance under stress, sleep deprivation, or fatigue.
• Some studies suggest it could help with memory and cognition, though more research is ongoing.

⸻

✅ Safety
• Well-researched, generally safe for healthy adults when taken at recommended doses (3–5 g per day after an optional loading phase).
• Main side effect is mild water retention in muscles (not harmful).
• People with kidney problems should consult a doctor before using it.

💚 CoQ10 - Why it’s important 💚

As an older man still aiming to compete at high level kata events, I need to train regular. Daily! This would not be possible without the use of nutrition products. I have chosen the Herbalife range because they are:

a) effective,
b) banned-substance tested,
c) premium nutrition,
d) I get a good distributor discount.

It’s a WIN-WIN situation.

I use many of the products from fueling, re-fueling, recovery, immune, digestive and sports.

Make no mistake, I would not be able to train daily without them!

The most recent addition to the product range is the CoQ10Vita Gel which is like the energy booster within our cells. Since I started taking these daily, I am recovering quicker and have found I am able to train daily and for longer periods. It’s amazing!

So, why is CoQ10 good for you?

CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, is like the energy booster within our cells, especially vital for those of us who are always on the move, pushing our limits in sport, daily life, or any demanding endeavor.

Here's why CoQ10 is good for you:

1. **Energy Production** - CoQ10 plays a crucial role in the production of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. This is particularly important for high-energy demanding organs like the heart and muscles, essential for anyone leading an active lifestyle or engaging in rigorous activities like karate.

2. **Antioxidant Protection** - CoQ10 serves as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by harmful molecules. It helps combat oxidative stress, which is linked to aging and many chronic diseases.

3. **Heart Health** - CoQ10 has been shown to improve heart health by maintaining optimal blood pressure levels and supporting heart function.

4. **Exercise Performance and Recovery** - For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, CoQ10 can enhance exercise performance by increasing energy production and reducing fatigue. It also aids in faster recovery after intense training sessions, making it a valuable supplement for anyone dedicated to their fitness and health goals.

Incorporating CoQ10 into your nutrition plan can be a game-changer, especially when striving for peak performance in all areas of life.

Can you get CoQ10 naturally?

Yes, you can get CoQ10 naturally through your diet, though it's found in relatively small amounts in foods. For those of us striving for peak performance in karate and life, incorporating CoQ10-rich foods can be a smart move.

Here are some natural sources:

1. **Meat** - Particularly organ meats like heart, liver, and kidney are rich in CoQ10. These are power-packed sources for those looking to boost their energy levels and overall health.

2. **Fish** - Certain types of fish, such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, are excellent sources of CoQ10. Not only do they help with energy production, but they also offer high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids for heart health.

3. **Nuts and Seeds** - For a vegetarian option, nuts and seeds like sesame seeds and pistachios can provide a good amount of CoQ10, along with other beneficial nutrients.

4. **Vegetables** - Spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower are among the vegetables that contain CoQ10. Incorporating these into your diet can support your energy levels and antioxidant defenses.

Remember, while these foods can contribute to your CoQ10 intake, the amounts may not be sufficient for therapeutic effects, especially for those with specific health conditions or goals. Supplementing with CoQ10 could be beneficial, but it's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional first.

🌟 Why Herbalife? 🌟

The short version…

I love the products and, like karate, I am passionate about sharing the benefits. Before, I was tired, lethargic, got ill a lot and had no energy to train. Now I can train every day!!! Some of my best moments in life have been with Herbalife 😃💪🏽💚🥋💫

The long version…

I began my Herbalife journey in January 2007. Every journey begins with a single step, right? That year I was lucky enough to see Jim Rohn speak in Cologne, Germany (look him up). I began my journey by attending some great events including Spring Spectacular in Brighton. Fast forward to the present and Herbalife has taken me to Barcelona, Prague, Cologne (again), Paris, Manchester, London, Birmingham, Madrid and many other super cities 🏙️

LET’S GO!!!

Here are just a few reasons why I'm deeply passionate about this incredible business:

1. **Empowerment** - Herbalife has given me the power to take control of my health and financial future. It's not just about the products; it's about the empowerment that comes with making positive life changes.

2. **Community** - The sense of community within Herbalife is unparalleled. I've met some of the most inspiring, supportive, and like-minded individuals who have become more than colleagues—they're family.

3. **Nutrition** - As someone who values nutrition and wellness, Herbalife's commitment to quality, science-based nutrition products resonates with me deeply. Helping others achieve their health goals while achieving mine is incredibly fulfilling.

4. **Flexibility** - The freedom to design my own schedule means I can prioritize what's most important in my life. Whether it's spending more time with family or pursuing personal development, Herbalife supports it all.

5. **Growth** - Herbalife is more than a business; it's a journey of personal and professional growth. Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a better version of myself.

6. **Impact** - Knowing that I'm making a positive impact on the lives of others is the most rewarding aspect of the Herbalife business. It's not just about selling products; it's about changing lives.

7. **Karate Performance & Longevity** - This could easily be number one but I have saved the best for last; the Herbalife products are the main reason I can train like I do at the age of 54. Without Karate and Kata in my life, I have nothing. The products have kept me going! 🙏🏼

I will be posting more about products (how they benefit), the amazing business and my journey so look out for updates 💪🏽

Many of you say to me, ‘why don’t you just concentrate on karate?’

Actually, it’s because of the Herbalife products, the business training, the nutrition teachings and much more this opportunity offers, that I can actually concentrate on my karate and my kata 👊🏽

Thank you to those who have always supported me in this journey be it friends, family and Herbalife members 🙏🏼

There is NO can’t in KANSEI!
