THE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT CoQ10: “Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is so essential to life processes that, without it, life would cease in a matter of minutes.” “Diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, deficiencies in the immune system and cancer flourish with low CoQ10 levels.” “The body’s synthesis of CoQ10 decreases steadily after the age of 21 years, by age of 40 you are 25% deficient and by age 80 you are 57% deficient.” CoQ10 is an essential nutrient, anti-aging and Cardiovascular protective. Top selling statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor and others lower the body’s production of CoQ10 leading to low serum levels which cause muscles to atrophy. More than 35 controlled clinical trials in Japan, Europe and the U.S. have proven that Co Q10 therapy is highly effective in treatment of congestive heart failure, angina and ischemic heart disease, and myocardial infarction. It is now believed that CoQ10 is the key nutrient for generating 95 percent of the total energy (ATP production) required by the human body. Co Q10 is necessary for the powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondria to function efficiently.
COQ10 BENEFITS - Sustains Life, If the levels of CoQ10 in your body drop to below 25 %, life can no longer be sustained.
- Parkinson Disease, Studies suggest that Co enzyme Q10 slows the functional decline in Parkinson disease.
- LDL Cholesterol, Co Enzyme Q10’s powerful oxidative effects help prevent LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) from oxidizing; and also prevents the artery blocking process by protecting tissues against free radicals.
- Heart Attacks: In a small trial of patients with recent myocardial infarction, CoQ10 -- used in addition to aspirin and cholesterol-lowering drugs -- decreased the likelihood of further cardiac events for at least one year after the heart attack. The dosage of CoQ10 used in the study was 60 mg twice daily.
- A leading U.S based cardiologist has been able to slowly reduce at least half of the blood pressure medications in his patients. Hypertension: CoQ10 may help lower blood pressure by a small amount in some people.
- Heart Failure: One study in patients with heart failure showed significant improvement in functional status, clinical symptoms, and quality of life in end stage heart failure patients who were placed on CoQ10.
- Clinical research indicates that CoQ10, like Vitamin E, has a preservation role in the pancreas. Over production of free radicals is a known cause of diabetes. Power antioxidants like CoQ10 and vitamin E play a key function in supporting and protecting beta cells of the pancreas from harmful free radicals.
- Diabetes: CoQ10 may be of slight benefit in diabetics. It helps improve the function of endothelial cells lining blood vessels and may slightly help with blood sugar control.
- Cholesterol: Individuals on cholesterol medicines of the statin class such as Lipitor and others, may consider taking CoQ10 supplements since statins decrease blood CoQ10 levels.
