Enzymatic Therapy CoQ10 50mg

30 soft gels

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the mitochondria, the energy-producing units of the cells. While CoQ10 is synthesized in the body, and in fact, is present in every cell, it is particularly important in muscle tissue-especially the heart. Supplementing with higher dietary levels of CoQ10 can nutritionally support cardiovascular health.

Clinically-proven CoQ10 is essential to:

• Heart and cardiovascular health
• Energy production
• Providing heart-protecting antioxidant power
• Replenishing the CoQ10 that naturally diminishes with age

Recommendations: One softgel capsule three times daily.

1 Softgel Capsule Contains: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) (Ubiquinone) 50 mg

What is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 (also known as Co Q10, CoQ10, Q10, vitamin supplement, ubiquinone, or ubidecarenone) is a compound that is made naturally in the body. A CO Q10 enzyme is a substance needed for the proper functioning of an enzyme, a protein that speeds up the rate at which chemical reactions take place in the body. The Q and the 10 in coenzyme Q10 refer to parts of the compound's chemical structure.

Coenzyme Q10 is used by cells to produce energy needed for cell growth and maintenance. CO Q10 is also used by the body as an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that protects cells from chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that can damage important parts of cells, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). (DNA is a molecule inside cells that carries genetic information and passes it from one generation to the next.) This damage may play a role in the development of cancer.

CoQ10 is found in most body tissues. The highest amounts are found in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. The lowest amounts are found in the lungs. Tissue levels of coenzyme Q10 decrease as people get older.

History of CoQ10 and alternative treatment for cancer

Coenzyme Q10 was first identified in 1957. Its chemical structure was determined in 1958. Interest in coenzyme Q10 as a potential treatment for cancer began in 1961, when a deficiency of the enzyme was noted in the blood of cancer patients. Low blood levels of coenzyme Q10 have been found in patients with mycelia, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck.

Studies have yielded information about how CoQ10 works in the body to produce energy and act as an antioxidant. Some studies have suggested that coenzyme Q10 stimulates the immune system and increases resistance to disease. In part because of this, researchers have theorized that Co Q10 may be useful as an adjuvant therapy for cancer. (Adjuvant therapy is treatment given following the primary treatment to enhance the effectiveness of the primary treatment.

Impact of CoQ10 deficiency

CoQ10 deficiency has been observed in various disease processes such as congestive heart failure (CHF), cardiomyopathy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), cancer, hypertension, and periodontal disease. The heart has the highest concentration of CoQ10 and it is therefore not surprising that the early clinical trials on the therapeutic potential of CoQ10 focused on heart disease as the target.

Among the other conditions where the therapeutic value of CoQ10 has been demonstrated are diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction such as mitochondrial cytopathies, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's, and immune system disorders
