We all know the importance of eating a healthy diet, exercising, getting sufficient sleep, and sunbathing with caution. Still, life is not always that simple, and even if we stick with the official guidelines for healthy living, it can often be challenging to get adequate amounts of the essential nutrients. Nonetheless, supplements are useful as compensation for these shortcomings. In fact, the use of such products can be compared with plant fertilizers that make plants look healthy, flourish and thrive.

‘As a mother of five children, you can really do with some extra energy,’ Thea Sanger laughs. That was the reason why she started using capsules with co-enzyme Q10. ‘I just wanted to try it and I found that it really helps.’

Thea didn’t have a specific reason to start with the food supplement, but in retrospect she’s very pleased with the extra energy. ‘Before, I got tired much fasterand I didn’t have much energy left to do other things besides the household chores. That’s much better now. And another great change is that my gums don’t bleed anymore!’

Saw an advertisement

Last summer, Thea read an advertisement in a magazine, stating the huge effect capsules with co-enzyme Q10 would have on the body’s general energy production. ‘It was a time when I felt a bit tired and thought that some extra energy would do no harm. That’s why I bought a box of capsules,” she recalls.
