About ten years ago my right hip began to bother me. As time went on it got worse and worse. I experimented with fish oil, flax oil, glucosamine and chondroitin, and eventually growth hormone releasers. All these things provided some measure of relief; but I would lift weights, and the day after the leg press, my hip would hurt. I added squats to my workout, and the pain in my hip increased.

I began taking Coenzyme-A Technologies' Healthy Joint  Image^TM when I ran out of my chondroitin and glucosamine products.

Within ten days the pain in my hip disappeared!

Of course I had hoped to see some improvement, but the Healthy Joint  Image^TM formula performed beyond anything I had hoped for.

Dear Coenzyme-A Technologies,

I want to thank you for your excellent products.

I am a 43-year-old man with a history of back problems. I injured my back when I was 19 and as a result I've had five surgeries. My back problems have been on going tough much of my life. About four years ago I had my last surgery and a year later I still had problems with it. My surgeon recommended that I start a health and exercise program.

I contacted a friend who is a personal trainer and started a nutrition and exercise program. My trainer helped straighten my back with proper exercise techniques and a number of health supplements. Even though that made a big deference in my every day life, I would still experience painful back attacks that would disable me for weeks at a time, when I would overexert myself. This would also make me feel stressed and depressed.

About two months ago I found out about the Image products from Coenzyme-A Technologies and I decided to try them. I started taking the Healthy Joint Image^TM for my back and the Coenzyme A^TM for the stress related symptoms from dealing with the pain and not being able to run my business. I have been on the Healthy Joint Image^TM and Coenzyme A^TM products for six weeks now. I feel more energetic ant I am working more hours in my business. If I had put this much demand on my back in the past I know I would be bed ridden by now. The quality of my every day life has also greatly improved.

Sincerely,

Dear Coenzyme-A Technologies,

Thanks so much for turning me on to Coenzyme A and Healthy Joint Image. I started using them as supplemental therapy for my joint problems stemming from old athletic injuries. To my surprise, the first thing I noticed, (totally unanticipated), was a very marked improvement in my personal appearance. Also, there was a noticeable improvement in my mood and I felt better each week. For years, I could not drag myself into gym often enough to progress in my strength program. In 4 months now, after starting Coenzyme A, I have gone from 15 x 115 incline bench to 15 x 180 lbs.! And I lost 10 lbs. body fat at the same time! I can't say enough about Coenzyme A and Healthy Joint Image to reflect my enthusiasm for these products except that I hope a lot more people find out about them.

Thanks again! Long life, good health and great strength!

Sincerely,

Chai Ahernius

Re: Coenzyme-A Products

Dear Coenzyme-A Technologies:

I am 52 years old and I was born with a horrible spine. My medical doctor says that my spine is in the bottom 1% for people in my age group. Within 3 days of starting to use your Healthy Joint Image product I felt noticeably and significantly better. My spine, in particular, was giving me less discomfort.

Also, for the past 10 years I have had chemical imbalances that have required either light doses of anti-depressants or a normal dose (220 mg) of St. John's Wort. Within 3 weeks of using Coenzyme A "The Master Enzyme", I was able to reduce my intake of St. John's Wort by 75%.

I am also using your Healthy Cholesterol Image product, which seems to allow me to be about 3 or 4 pounds lighter than otherwise.

Sincerely,

I am 52 years old and insist on living a very active life. As a police officer working patrol, I need to stay alert and in good shape. The schedule for patrol officers is four 9 hour days on then 2 days off. My day starts at 2:00 AM since my shift is from 3:30 AM to 12:30 PM. On 2 days, I work an off duty patrol job for 6 1/2 additional hours. I exercise for at least 1 hour 6 (sometimes 7) days each week plus keep up a house and a yard. I need energy and a healthy mind and body in order to accomplish my goals.

As the aging process began to take its toll, I found it more difficult to keep up my schedule. On some days I would force myself to do my workout, but my energy level was low and I could tell that I was not getting the results that I wanted. I was just going through the motions, but with little benefits. From 20 years of Martial Arts, I had developed arthritis in the joints of my hands, wrists and fingers and was often in pain. Two degenerating lumbar discs and one cervical disc were also slowing me down. Since I was a young adult I have had problems with irregularity and those were increasing. My energy level was not what I needed it to be. Menopause was also causing some problems.

For many, the answer would be prescription medication, slowing down, quick fix remedies such as pain pills and the numerous quick energy products and "weight loss without exercise" products that are flooding the market. I refuse to go that route! Slowing down is out of the question; I do not trust prescription chemicals; pain is your body's way of telling you something needs to be fixed, not masked; anything worthwhile takes time; and weight loss without exercise is ridiculous. For me, the best way to treat pain is to exercise, kicking in the endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers and getting the blood flowing to the damaged areas, the body's natural healer.

Nick Skouras at Mari Don Healthway introduced me to the Coenzyme A products seven months ago. I have been shopping with Nick Skouras and Richard Chang at Mari Don Healthway for four years now and trust their judgement. I started out with the Coenzyme A, Healthy Joint Image and the Body Image products. After about a month, I realized that my problems were clearing up! I was extremely pleased because gradual improvements are the kind that last. This meant that my body was going through positive changes.

My metabolism was improving, giving me more energy for longer periods of time, making me regular and processing the food I was eating so that I got the maximum benefit from the nutrients. My hormonal levels were balanced, I was getting the maximum benefit from my workouts and my joints are fully functional with no pain. I have also noticed improvements in my ability to retain and recall information. My body is much more tolerant of the cold weather, which has never happened before! Colds and flu have gone through the squad I am in, but I have not come down with anything. I had reached a plateau in my weight lifting, unable to increase my weights, but now I have been able to increase the weights in the last few months!

I have never been one to push products publicly just because they work for me, but this is different. For several years I have been teaching Self Defense and Defense Awareness to groups and individuals because it is important to me that people learn to empower themselves and not become victims. The Coenzyme A products can also empower people so that they do not become victims of the stressful, poor diet and no exercise lifestyle that so many live today. This is why I want to share my experience with the products.

I'm in my fifty's and have been in outdoor activities all my life. For the last few years, my involvement has mostly been in hiking, backpacking, skiing and biking. I also workout in a gym three or four times a week to keep in shape. A few years back I injured my left knee, today the knee is fine except on the left side, where there's very little cartilage left, it's very close to the bone. I have always taken supplements, and for the last couple of years I've been taking Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate specifically for my knee and I believe they help.

Last May my partner and I went on a backpack trip for a week in the Grand Canyon. It was a backcountry trail and very rocky. Our packs weighed about 60 lbs. On returning from this trip, my left knee was in bad shape. I continued to take supplements to ease the pain but noting really helped. Then a nutritionist, Nick, whom I have known for a few years, suggested I try Healthy Joint Image, a product of Coenzyme-A Technologies. I was reluctant to try another supplement but I finally gave it a try. The results were amazing, after a week or two my knee was better than it had been in years. With the help of this product my partner and I bicycled from Seattle to San Francisco, over 1000 miles down highways 101 and 1. My knee was fine the whole trip and we were biking 50 to 70 miles a day over very hilly terrain. A trip like that requires a lot of energy. Each morning you have to get up and tackle another 60 miles, and as we all know, as we get older, our energy is not always there. Taking Coenzyme A, another product that Nick recommended, helped my recovery rate substantially, giving me the energy required for the next ride.

Dear Coenzyme-A Technologies:

As a retired physical education teacher and wrestling coach, I've always been quite physically active and even wrestled competitively until age 50. Upon retirement I worked out with weight training and entered my first powerlifting contest at age 67. I currently hold several national records for the bench press, squats and deadlifts for my age group, and I am the World Champion for the WABDL (World Association of Bench Press and Dead Lifters) and hold the current World Record in the dead lift.

After I reached the age of 70 ( I'm 72 now), I discovered that I couldn't increase my muscle mass any longer from my weight training, and if I had an injury, the time it took to heal could be several weeks or months. This meant I had a difficult time staying in top shape to continue competing in the national and world lifting events.

I began taking three of your products - Coenzyme-A, Body Image and Healthy Joint - over three months ago at the suggestion of a friend who is a professional trainer and clinical nutritionist. I'm happy to say that since then, I am increasing my muscle mass! I thought that I would have to settle for a continuing decrease in strength, but these products have actually helped me get stronger and leaner for my contests. I also find I have a quicker recovery time for my injuries, have less stiffnes in my joints and have had fewer colds than I normally do. This has been incredibly exciting for me, and has allowed me to train at a harder level than I've been capable of in years.

Thank you for creating such wonderful products. I plan on remaining a loyal customer so I can stay healthy and in competitive shape for as long as possible.

Sincerely,

Jim Schall

I have been a regular user of Coenzyme A, Body Image and Healthy Joint Image products for nearly a year. Being an Olympic caliber athlete for the Women's National Rowing Team and a World Champion, I have found each of these products to be an important part of my success.

In the fall of 1997 I began training for the summer Olympic Games in Sydney. Unfortunately, the volume of training and increased muscle mass created a perfect recipe for rib stress fracture in the spring of 1998. This is a common injury for rowers due to the amount of stress we create through our trunk area. What I soon realized after rehab is that some injuries never REALLY disappear. This continued to be a problem area for me until July of 1999. After having taken Coenzyme A and Healthy Joint Image products consistently for about 6 months, I noticed a dramatic increase in the stability of my shoulder and rib area. All of the connective tissue that had previously given me so much trouble was more elastic and "moisturized," which I could actually feel! Keep in mind I train 3 times each day, so I just wonder what this could do for a typical athlete who exercises 3-5 times each week for health purposes!

An interesting part of my competition as a world-class athlete is that at competition I have to weigh in at 125.6 lbs (57kg), 15 lbs less than my natural body weight of 140-lbs/12% body fat. The Body Image and Coenzyme A products along with a balanced diet have helped create a safe stable foundation in which I can loose weight effectively (fat NOT muscle) and recover from workouts faster as I lean down. Again, I can only imagine how this will help me when I return to teaching and exercising 4-5 times each week, when my body is in a more balanced environment!

Nick and Don, your support and expertise in my development has been critical to my past success. Thank you for your hard work in developing these incredibly helpful products and sponsoring me in my pursuit for the Olympic Games.
