CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) is found in every cell and is responsible for maintaining cellular energy. Our heart pumps over 100,000 times/day. Due to the heart's special energy demands, CoQ10 is required for healthy heart function.
CoQ10 is an antioxidant, similar to Vitamin E and works to prevent premature aging.
CoQ10 benefits other degenerative diseases by supporting cellular energy.
Dr. Peter Langsjoen, cardiologist and CoQ10 researcher: "CoQ10 is remarkable stuff. People feel so much better after taking it. It makes such a dramatic improvement, it's unthinkable for me to practice medicine without it."
Renowned CoQ10 researcher, Dr. Karl Folkers, was convinced that low CoQ1O levels contributed to heart disease. He found that heart disease patients had 1/4 less CoQ1O than healthy people. It's not surprising that so many studies show that CoQ1O helps strengthen heart muscle and improves a variety of heart conditions. CoQ10 improves cardiac function in patients with congestive heart failure.
There is also a strong connection between CoQ1O and healthy gums. "In numerous studies (1970-5), scientists concluded: CoQ10 is an essential factor in cellular energy formation and is essential for healthy tissues, it follows that increased availability of CoQ10 to deficient tissue should improve tissue bioenergetics. With periodontal diseased tissue, it appeared that CoQ10 did exactly that."
Researchers have used supplemental CoQ10 in studies to achieve dramatic results.
As a fat-soluble molecule supplemental CoQ10 is better absorbed if taken with meals where some fat is present.
CoQ10 continues to amaze researchers at its ability to improve so many varied health conditions, especially as we get older. CoQ10 benefits the heart, protects your gums and may enhance immune function. It shows much promise in cancer therapy.
