Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant compound required for the storage of energy in cells, as well as for the syntheis of nucleic acids. CoQ10 is a fat-soluble compound primarily produced by the body. Clinical studies indicate that the intake of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs may inhibit the body's ability to produce and synthetize Coenzyme Q10_, thus reducing its levels. Oral supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 increases its levels in plasma, lipoprotein, and blood vessels.

Benefits of Coenzyme Q10

• Coenzyme Q10 is said to boost and add energy to the immune system as well as acting as an antioxidant. [1] This is considered helpful for treatment of heart diseases and reduction of blood clots through improved energy efficiently in the blood cells.  A recent study has shown that patients, who took supplements of Coenzyme Q10 within three days of a heart attack, were less apt to experience a second heart attack. [1] Coenzyme Q10 has also been shown to help reduce high blood pressure, a tremendous benefit especially in fighting heart diseases.[2]
• Other studies have shown that CoQ10, along with traditional treatment and vitamins C and E plus selenium have helped with the shrinkage of tumors in breast cancer as well as reduction of pain.[1] Note: CoQ10 is not a drug, and does not treat, prevent or cure cancer or any other disease.
• CoQ10 can also help in the healing of Periodontal (gum) disease, in some studies it has been shown to assist in  reducing incidences of swollen gums, quick healing of sores and restoring of lost tissue. Additional research is needed in this area.
• Coenzyme Q10 supplementation supports a healthy cardiovascular function by inhibiting the oxidation of bad cholesterol (LDL) - an event linked to the development of atherosclerosis - and by restoring healty levels of CoQ10 in the body.
• CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant in cell membranes and lipoproteins. Antioxidants are substances that may prevent potentially disease-producing cell damage that can result from natural bodily processes and from exposure to certain chemicals such as tobacco smoke, radiation, and environmental contaminants.
