Coenzyme Q is an essential natural compound that
facilitates the metabolic process of nutrients in our
bodies, especially that of protein assimilation. 10
indicates the structural components of Coenzyme Q, i.e. Co
Q10. Co Q10 therefore, is essential for helping us feel
energetic and for our cell and tissue repair. Coenzyme Q10
is used by our cells to produce energy needed for cell
growth and maintenance. Co Q10 is used by our bodies as an
antioxidant to protect our cells from chemicals called free
radicals. Co Q10 is found in our body tissues especially
our heart liver, kidneys and pancreas. Our bodies naturally
produce Co Q10 especially in our very early years.
Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies ability to produce Co
Q10 declines rapidly as much as 80 %. Low levels of Co Q10
has been found in people with mycelia, lymphoma and cancers
of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, and kidney.
Co Q10 molecules help enzymes that stimulate energy
generation. These molecules act as a shuttle to transport
electrons and protons from one bioenergy enzyme to another.
Every electron and proton from which energy is gathered
must be transported to appropriate enzymes by a molecules
of Co Q10. This process happens repeatedly at a rate of
thousands of times per second.
The longest and most documented use of Co Q10 is to prevent
and treat cardiovascular diseases. Many studies over the
years have shown that Co Q10 can protect our hearts from
damage from reduced blood flow and electrical disturbance.
People suffering from heart pain, heart arrhythmias,
congestive heart failure, heart valve defects,
hypertension, and heart damage caused from toxic drugs have
improved significantly and often dramatically with
supplementation of Co Q10.
After 10 weeks of using Co Q10 supplementation, people have
realized lowered blood pressure. People who have used
prescription drugs to lower cholesterol, i.e. statin, have
been shown to experience the side effect of decreased
levels of natural Co Q10 which can also lead to other
health difficulties. CoQ10 supplements can improve blood
sugar levels and help manage high cholesterol for people
suffering from diabetes. There are studies that have shown
that people with diabetes given supplement CoQ10
experienced no hypoglycemic response. CoQ10 supplementation
has been shown, along with other antioxidants, vitamin C,
E, and Selenium and essential fatty acids, to help shrink
tumors and reduce pain of women suffering from breast
cancer. Periodontal or "gum" disease is accompanied by
swelling, bleeding, pain and redness. These periodontal
symptoms have been shown to decrease as CoQ10 supplements
helped healing and tissue repair. Studies also indicate
that CoQ10 supplements help improve immune function in
cases of immune deficiencies, and yeast and other viral
infections. CoQ10 has also been shown to improve brain
health and functioning which is important in the relief and
prevention of migraine headaches, Alzheimer's disease,
damage from stroke and improve overall cognitive and
emotional functioning. Co Q10 protects the brain from
neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's, although it
does not relieve the symptoms. CoQ10 has been shown to
enhance the physical ability and activity of people
suffering from fatigue syndromes and muscular dystrophy, as
well as improve athletic performance and energy for
athletes and people who are engaged in strenuous physical
work. CoQ10 has been shown to protect against the harmful
side effects of toxic drugs.
CoQ10 deficiencies are inevitable due to the normal
process. It becomes evident that our bodies no longer
produces CoQ10 in the amounts that are needed to keep our
bodies functioning properly and in good health. CoQ10
supplements help our body maintain and increase the supply
of energy for cellular production and maintenance as well
as tissue repair. It would be very wise on our part,
especially as we naturally age, to make sure we have
adequate amounts of CoQ10 through supplements.
