Free Weekly Health Tip prepared for Cyndi January 29, 2008 The Sponsor: For many professional brands of CoQ10 with ubiquinone and ubiquinol, contact us at: Kaleigh or 828-645-7224 Your Tip: Update on CoQ10 The first popular book about Co-EnzymeQ10 (CoQ10 for short), titled "The Miracle Nutrient CoenzymeQ10", was written by Dr. Emil Bliznakov and Gerald Hunt and published in the 1980's. That book touted CoQ10 as a supplement that could: - Revitalize the immune system - Reverse the effects of aging - Protect and strengthen the heart and cardiovascular system - Normalize high blood pressure - Control or even reverse gum disease - Energize your body and increase tolerance for exertion - Reduce weight without dieting Now 25 years later lots of research has documented that list and added the following conditions which respond to CoQ10 supplementation: - Type II diabetes - Fatigue and low energy - Migraine headaches - Ataxia (poor balance) - Chronic kidney disease - Parkinson's disease - Cancer therapy - Macular degeneration Manufactured in every cell, CoQ10 is essential in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which provides the energy used by every cell to carry on its many activities. In addition CoQ10 has powerful antioxidant properties. I don't really notice much when I take CoQ10; but when I stop, I feel like a clock who is winding down. You may have heard that some people taking "statin" drugs to lower their cholesterol develop muscle aches after beginning the medications. Why? Because statins interfere at a point in the pathway that makes both cholesterol and CoQ10. This is why I always recommend that people who take statin medications ALWAYS also take supplemental CoQ10. Recommended dose: 100 mg daily of ubiquinone or 25 mg daily of ubiquinol. CoQ10 comes in two forms: ubiquinone and ubiquinol. Because ubiquinol is much less stable, only ubiquinone has been used in nutritional supplements. However, recently Kaneka Nutrients, Japan's largest CoQ10 producer, has found a way to stabilize ubiquinol so that it can be placed in supplements and still retain its effectiveness. Ubiquinol is absorbed and assimilated up to 8 times better than ubiquinone and maintains high blood CoQ10 levels longer. In other words, if you've been taking 200 mg of ubiquinone, you can take 25 mg of ubiquinol and get similar results. If you're experiencing any of the health challenges listed above, a CoQ10 supplement might be in order, especially if you're getting older. Resources: 1. Faloon, W.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It’s also supposed to be good for fibromyalgia (that’s me), but my understanding is that unless your system is low on the enzyme, it’s a bit like a placebo. It’s on my list to talk to my doc about when next I see her as from what I read, low levels can be determined with a blood test.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 As you get older, CoQ-10 levels naturally decline. Things like stress, disease, even exercise will make them decline faster. CoQ-10 is such a good immune system builder, it is well worth taking. CoQ-10 levels are naturally highest in the major organs, especially the heart.The body doesn't make a lot of it, but because a small amount is produced, it is not classified as a vitamin. It's the one supplement my doctor specifically recommended, but I've been taking it for many years. I think it's crucial... I haven't heard of a blood test to measure it, but that's great. :-)Cyndi In a message dated 1/29/2008 12:13:53 P.M.
