(with added Vitamin E)
Suppose there was a nutrient that could support your energy level, support to protect and strengthen your heart and body and support blood pressure levels that are already with in normal range.* Suppose this same nutrient could even play an important role in supporting the effectiveness of your immune system and because it’s completely natural to your body, was non toxic and produced no dangerous side effects.* Wouldn’t you say, “I need that in my life?”
Coenzyme Q-10, a relatively obscure member of the coenzyme family, is a valuable nutrient that every cell in your body must have in order to produce energy. Discovered by Dr. Folkers, M.D., who is also a scientist more than 30 years ago, CoQ-10 has recently been basking in the spotlight of the international medical research community. During the past decade an overpowering number of studies have shown that CoQ-10 plays a very vital role in the prevention and care of major health problems.*
It has also become apparent that illness and the effects of aging cause many people to develop deficiencies of CoQ-10.* This results in an imbalance of the body’s system. Studies have recently shown that CoQ-10, when taken as a nutritional supplement, helps increase energy, protect and strengthen the heart and body, helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within normal range, helps to maintain and supports immune system.*
CoQ-10 is an essential component of the cellular compartment (mitochondria), where it plays a major role in energy production. Although CoQ-10 can be synthesized in the body, deficiencies can be a result from impaired CoQ-10 synthesis due to nutritional deficiencies, a genetic, impaired or acquired defect in CoQ-10 synthesis, increased tissue needs or from some cholesterol lowering drugs. In addition, the elderly, in general, may have increased CoQ-10 requirements. The decline of CoQ-10 levels in body tissues as we get older is thought to be partly responsible for age-related deterioration of the immune system.*
CoQ-10 has been shown to support the cardiovascular system. Heart tissue biopsies in patients with various heart diseases showed a CoQ-10 deficiency in 50-75 percent of cases. As one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body, the heart may be metabolically susceptible to the effects of coenzyme Q-10 deficiency.* In addition to serving as a co-factor in energy production, coenzyme Q-10 functions as a powerful antioxidant. Oxiclative damage contributes to the aging process.* This suggests that coenzyme Q-10 supplementation should be induced in any comprehensive antioxidant program.* CoQ-10 supplements are typically recommended at a minimum daily dosage of 60 mg.
The quality of CoQ-10 varies greatly from supplier to supplier. Less than 4% of Q10 products sold use naturally fermented Q10 (made from special algae in Japan) – most products are made using synthesized Q10, made by mixing vitamins and minerals together, or from an extract from the tobacco plant! It takes nine months to produce naturally fermented Q10.*
