What Is Co Enzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinone, and more simply, CoQ10, is a powerful antioxidant with significant benefits. Recent studies have shown very promising correlations with high levels of Coenzyme Q10 consumption and reduced symptoms (or slowed onset of symptoms) from Parkinson's Disease and Congestive Heart Disease The ability to synthesise Co-Enzyme Q10 decreases with age.

Co-Enzyme Q-10, is similar to vitamin K, which protects our bodies against free radical damage and exerts a protective effect on cell membranes.   It is a naturally occurring fat-soluble antioxidant, necessary to the functioning of every cell in our bodies.  It is produced in the body and found throughout nature in plants and animals.  Our bodies could not survive without it.  If body levels start dropping, so does our general health.  Low levels can result in high blood pressure, heart attack, angina, immune system depression, periodontal disease, lack of energy and obesity.  As more energy is required, the more CO-Q-10 is needed in the diet, especially in the heart and other tissues that require lots of energy. 

Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of CO-Q-10.  Angina is a condition where inadequate oxygen is available to the heart muscle itself.  People with failing cardiac systems have shown to greatly benefit with increased strength and vigour when supplemented with CO-Q-10.  People with high blood pressure usually have lower levels of CO-Q-10. 

CO-Q-10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wider range of beneficial effects.

Co-Enzyme Q10 acts as a carrier in the electron transfer chain which is the final stage of a complex process of energy production from food within the body.

Co-Enzyme Q10 acts as an important antioxidant and has been shown to boost the action of the heart muscle.

Supplemental Uses:

Cardiovascular disease- many conditions relating to the heart e.g. angina, irregular beats etc have shown positive results with Co-Enzyme Q10 supplementation.
Energy booster- those who are fatigued / run down can benefit
Exercise stamina research shows that Co-Enzyme Q10 can increase endurance by increasing aerobic capability.
Fertility-Studies have shown improvements in sperm functions and motility.
Immune booster- Co-Enzyme Q10 stimulates the formation of antibodies and white blood cells.
Periodontal disease-supplementation can hinder the deterioration of the gums.
