CoQ10 - CoenzymeQ10 is required for our body cells to existCoenzymeQ10 - CoQ10 is required for creation of mitochondrial energy, our body cells need to exist Also find on this page: All our major organs also use this nutrient as a fuel for energy production. In nature’s creative design CoenzymeQ10 simultaneously provides our organs with needed energy and also protects them from the resulting from this energy production oxidation, performing as a powerful fat soluble antioxidant. The body's highest concentrations of CoenzymeQ10 are found in the heart, where constant chemical energy availability is imperative, and protection against free radicals attacks at vascular structures is extremely important. Coenzyme Q10 and cardiovascular health CoenzymeQ10 is extensively researched and proven very effective to: * Destroy free radicals in the cell membranes A study done at Austin - the University of Texas documented 10 cases of cancer patients who unexpectedly survived when treated with this nutrient. It works by blocking the free radicals that can ultimately damage the DNA in our cells. It also helps re-energize the immune system cells that get suppressed by cancer. It restores their ability to fight back and attack the cancer cells. Researchers in Denmark studied a group of breast cancer patients. They gave them CoenzymeQ10, plus a combination of other antioxidants and essential-fatty acids. The result: The entire group had a partial remission of the cancer. But here is where things got very interesting: Two of the patients received larger doses of it (390 mg). Their tumors disappeared. Here is what the researchers said regarding one of the patients: “After three months, the patient was in excellent clinical condition and there was no residual tumor tissue.” This supplement is also proven to: * Boost our energy and stamina levels We need to pay a special attention to the last line above, if we have or had to take so “popular” these days statin drugs. Our mainstream doctors are very fast and easy to prescribe these statin drugs to reduce numbers on our cholesterol test. Lipitor is the most popular statin drug, creating huge profits for Big Pharma, but depleting our bodies of this so needed antioxidant and Vitamin D3, besides other side effects. A 1994 study involving 2,664 heart patients over a three-month period proves CoQ10 can help end the energy crisis in our body! The National Institutes of Health reports the following benefits of Coenzyne Q10 supplementation: * Fluid Retention... 78% Less Nearly 50 years of scientific research prove that CoQ10 can also... * Help boost memory & mental powers... For those of us, who consider heart health being a major part of our health concerns we created a CoQ10 and heart health page. Coenzyme Q10 for gums and dental health Supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 is usually suggested as one of the most important nutrients for our heart health, but it’s also an important nutrient for our teeth and gums. Periodontal tissues require efficient energy production for their healing and repair. The process is dependent on an adequate supply of CoQ10. Biopsies on gums of individuals with periodontal disease show a deficiency of this nutrient. Growing during last few decades’ research shows that this nutrient helps to prevent gum diseases and heal them. Don’t count on your dentist to know that but good holistic doctors usually suggest supplementing with this nutrient if gums’ health is an issue. In severe cases they suggest covering surfaces of the gums with the nutrient’s powder from capsules and keeping them covered as often and for as long as you can. A new more efficient form of Coenzyme Q10 - Ubiquinol This supplement has been available for decades, but now there is an amazing new form of it, called ubiquinol. One of the key damaging elements of the aging process is a free radical production. These free radicals cause potential damage to our tissues and DNA. If you didn't do it already, please see this Free Radical Theory of Aging Page to learn more. One of the most effective antioxidants helping us to reduce the damage is CoenzymeQ10. The problem is that our bodies often can't actually use this oxidized during energy production nutrient, but they use its reduced form – ubiquinol. We use a given us by nature ability to convert it to ubiquinol. Unfortunately, while growing older, we are gradually losing an ability to effectively execute this conversion. According to research, after reaching 25 this ability is significantly reduced, so ubiquinol supplementation should be seriously considered to prevent or handle various health conditions. Hypertension is one of them. So, even if we are eating only organic and wholesome unprocessed foods containing CoQ10, our body's ability to produce CoQ10 and convert it to ubiquinol declines over time. Some studies show that Ubiquinol is up to 8 times more efficient than Coenzyme Q10. We should consider that when deciding on the dosage of ubiquinol when switching to it from Coenzyme Q10. The best natural source of CoQ10 is red meat, especially organ meat. But today’s commercially-raised, grain-fed beef is a poor source. One of the primary health risks of being a vegetarian is a very likely CoQ10 deficiency. A usually recommended dosage of Coenzyme Q10 If we are healthy and prefer taking this product as a preventive measure, taking 30 mg of CoQ10 every day should work well for us. If we have a need to treat existing health conditions, dosage of up to 400 mg daily is proven completely safe. Talk to your doctor if using larger doses. If our age justifies that, we should switch to ubiquinol. If your Health Food Store doesn't have this product, you are welcome to use a Contact Us form for reliable sources information.
