What is Co-enzyme Q10?
Known as the 'Spark of Life', Co-enzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring
antioxidant and nutrient that is necessary to the function of every cell in the human body.
Co-Enzyme Q10 is also know as CoQ10 and Ubiquinone. It is a member of the quinone cyclic compounds that may be considered
a relative of some patent anti-cancer drugs. CoQ10 can add or remove oxtgen from biologically
active molecules.
Every cell in the body contains many subcellular components called mitachondria and
these produce 95% of the body's total energy. CoQ10 is an integral part of the membranes of
the mitachondria where it is involved in the production of ATP: the basic energy producing
molecule of cells.
What effect does CoQ10 have?
BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
When immunity is low, so are reserves of CoQ10. When body levels of CoQ10 are raised,
so is the immune potential. AIDS victims and others with depressed immune systems can receive
some help from antibiotics and anti-viral drugs, but they will not rebuild the immune system.
Mice have been shown to have a 50% extended lifespan by supplementing with CoQ10.
CoQ10 acts as a antioxidant, protecting cells against free radical damage and exerting
a wide range of beneficial and protective efects.
INCREASES STRENGTH
OF THE HEART WITHOUT EXERCISE
RELIEVES ANGINA
PROTECTS AGAINST HEART ATTACKS
LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of CoQ10.
Angina is a condition where inadequate oxygen is available to the heart muscle itself.
People with failing cardiac systems have been shown to greatly benefit with increased strength
and vigour when supplementing with CoQ10. Similarly high blood pressure usually means lower levels of CoQ10 are present.
REDUCES WEIGHT NATURALLY
The University of Texas and University of Antwerp, Belgium have shown that obese
people can lose weight simply by adding CoQ10 to their diet. This research shows that obese
people have up to a 50% deficiency of CoQ10 in their tissues.
INCREASES EXERTION TOLERANCE
AND ENERGISES THE BODY
Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10 are those that require the most energy,
such as the heart. Our internal ability to produce CoQ10 declines with age and as we get
older we must rely more on getting CoQ10 from our diets.
CONTROLS PERIDONTAL (GUM) DISEASE
CoQ10 exerts its protective and strengthening action in all tissues. Working from the cellular
level, it strengthens the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists believe that
peridontal disease is a good indicator of low levels of CoQ10 in other tissues.
The American Dental Association states that at least 87% of the American population
has some sort of gum disease. This has been shown to be somewhat related to nutrition and
particularly to levels of CoQ10, which has been shown to have good protective effects
for gum tissue.
Most of the benefits of CoQ10 were based on simply adding CoQ10 supplements to the diet.
CoQ10 was discovered in 1957. Later Dr. Karl Falkers and researchers at the University
of Texas, USA, identified its crucial importance in human cell respiration and energy production.
In Japan, millions take CoQ10 daily. The average dose of 10 milligrams, three times daily,
is prescribed most commonly for mild congestive heart failure. This has had a remarkable result
across the entire health spectrum.
Co-enzyme Q10 has been proven to help in the treatment of heart and immune dysfunction, and gum disease.
As such, it is partricularly important for the health of fibromyalgics.
