CoQ50Select
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance in every human cell. It's involved in key biochemical reactions that produce energy in cells. It also acts as an antioxidant. CoQ10 is naturally present in a variety of foods. Organ meats such as heart, liver and kidney as well as in beef, soybean oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts are particularly high in CoQ10.
About 95% of cellular energy is produced from structures in your cells called mitochondria. Coenzyme Q10 is incorporated into the mitochondria of your cells where it facilitates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy. A large body of scientific evidence shows that CoQ10’s ability to restore mitochondrial function has a profound effect on one’s overall health.
When CoQ10 levels diminish, the ability of cells to sustain even basic metabolic functions is impaired.
Heart cells have a high-energy demand, and many clinical studies have investigated the effect of CoQ10 supplements on cardiac function. Efficacy has been shown in studies when CoQ10 was used for cardiovascular problems. Scientists have also found that CoQ10 provides benefits to other organs whose cells require high-level energy metabolism such as the brain and kidneys
CoQ10 supplements and Statin Drugs:
One reason why more people take CoQ10 supplements now than ever before is the increased awareness that the “statin” drugs (used to lower LDL and cholesterol) deplete the body of CoQ10.
Normal aging, however, can result in an even greater reduction in CoQ10 than that caused by statin drugs. While statin drugs have been shown to reduce blood plasma levels of CoQ10 by 40%, the aging process can reduce CoQ10 levels in your heart muscle wall by 72%.
CoQ10 Benefits:
Coq10 benefits include increasing energy levels, supporting good cardiovascular health and improving the function of the body’s immune system. Coq10 levels are reported to decrease with age and are low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS. Some prescription drugs may also lower the levels of Coq10.
