Co Enzyme Q10 100 mg (60 vegicaps)
What is it claimed "Stable-unoxidised" Co-Enzyme
Q-10 will do for me?
Increase
energy levels, increase your VO2 reading without exercise, lower high blood
pressure, detoxify your body, reduce free radicals dramatically and aid the
function of all living cells - especially cells in the organs which require
large amounts of energy e.g. heart, brain, legs and the digestive system.
With consistent supplementation, it's believed that
stable Co- Enzyme Q-10 also has the ability to:
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is the valuable, naturally occurring
antioxidant necessary for energy production in every cell of the
body. Co-Enzyme Q-10 is a component of every living cell, and as
body levels of Co-Enzyme Q-10 drop, so does the general status of
health. Low levels can result in high blood pressure, heart attack,
angina, immune system depression, periodontal disease, lack of energy
and obesity. It is commonly referred to as CO-Q-10 and has actually
been shown to extend life of laboratory animals. University studies
have shown that some overweight people have low levels of it and
supplementation can help to control body weight. 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.
Immune System
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is an integral part of the immune cycle.
This vitamin like substance is found primarily in the heart muscle.
Like all muscles, the heart muscle needs adequate energy to contract,
and CO-Q-10 facilitates the production of that energy. In people
with coronary heart disease, supplementation reduces the frequency
of anginal episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise
that a person can perform before developing anginal pain. Tissues
that need the largest amounts of Co-Enzyme Q-10 are those that require
the most energy, such as the heart. Our internal ability to produce
CO-Q-10 declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more
on CO-Q-10 from our diets.
Necessary Nutrient
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is a nutrient necessary to the functioning
of every cell in our bodies. Our bodies could not survive without
it. If body levels start dropping, so does our general health. Scientists
estimate that once levels drop below the 25% deficient levels, many
disease states begin to flourish including high blood pressure,
heart attack, angina, immune depression, periodontal disease, lack
of energy, weight gain and even early death.
CO-Q-10 & Energy
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is known as CO-Q-10 and also ubiquinone.
It is a member of the quinone cyclic compounds that may be considered
a relative of some potent anti-cancer drugs. CO-Q-10 can add or
remove oxygen from biologically active molecules. Every cell of
the body contains many subcellular components called mitochondria,
which produce 95% of the total energy of the body. CO-Q-10 is an
integral part of the membranes of the mitochondria where it is involved
in the production of ATP, the basic energy producing molecule of
cells.
The Immune System & Ageing
When immunity is low, so are the reserves of CO-Q-10.
When body levels of CO-Q-10 are raised, so is the immune potential.
AIDS victims and other people with depressed immune systems can
receive some help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs, but they
will not rebuild the immune system. Mice have been shown to have
a 50% extended life span by supplementing with CO-Q-10. Co-Enzyme
Q-10 acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against free radical
damage and exerting a protective effect on cell membranes. CO-Q-10
can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wide range
of beneficial and protective effects.
The Heart & Blood Pressure
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 vigor when supplemented with CO-Q-10.
People with high blood pressure usually have lower levels of CO-Q-10.
CO-Q-10 & Weight Loss
It has been shown at the University of Texas and the
University of Antwerp, Belgium that obese people can lose weight
simply with the addition of CO-Q-10 to the diet. This research showed
that obese people can have as much as a 50% deficiency of Co-Enzyme
Q-10 in their tissues. People who eat a lot and yet stay slim have
significantly higher levels of CO-Q-10 in their blood. This wonderful
enzyme can increase metabolic fuel efficiency within your cells
- stimulating natural weight loss.
Periodontal Health
Co-Enzyme Q-10 exerts its protective and strengthening
action in all tissues. Working from the cellular level, it strengthens
the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists believe that
periodontal (gum) disease is a good indicator of low levels of CO-Q-10
in other tissues. The American Dental Association states that at
least 87% of the American population has some sort of gum disease.
This has been shown to be somewhat related to nutrition and particularly
to levels of CO-Q-10, which has been shown to have a good protective
effect for gum tissue.
The CO-Q-10 Family
There are at least ten common CO-Q's, that is, different
sized molecules from CO-Q-1 to CO-Q-10. The liver can utilize other
CO-Q's to make CO-Q-10. If the liver is not functioning efficiently,
body levels can be too low, especially with advancing age or if
disease is present. Our internal ability to produce CO-Q-10 declines
with age, and as we get older, we must rely more on our diet.
Is CO-Q-10 Safe?
In tests of thousands of people, no toxicity has ever
been shown, no matter how high the amount. Plants and animals get
it from the soil, but we get it from the plants and animals that
contain various CO-Q's.
How to Take CO-Q-10
There is no definite amount determined, but remember that more
is needed as more energy is required. This is especially so if extra nutritional
support is needed for the immune system, heart, weight loss or protection against
degenerative disease. Supplement Spot's CO-Q-10 tablets are packaged in bottles
of 120. One to three tablets are recommended one to three times daily
