CoenzymeQ10 softgel

Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring nutrient found in each cell of the body. Coenzyme Q10 was first identified by University of Wisconsin researchers in 1957. Coenzyme Q10 is found in foods, particularly in fish and meats. In addition to playing a significant role in the energy system of each of our cells, CoQ10 is a good antioxidant. Many who take Coenzyme Q10 notice that this nutrient provides energy and mental clarity. For more coenzyme q10 information.

For which conditions is Coenzyme Q10 helpful?
Studies with Coenzyme Q10 have mostly focused on its role in improving certain types of cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure and hypertension. However, Coenzyme Q10 may benefit those with diabetes and Parkinson's disease.

How does Coenzyme Q10 work?
Each cell in the body needs a source of energy to survive, so cells break down sugars, fats, and amino acids to make energy. Small enclosures within cells that make this energy are called mitochondria. Coenzyme Q10 exists naturally in our mitochondria and carries electrons involved in energy metabolism. Coenzyme Q10 is essential in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the basic energy molecule of each cell.
   In the bloodstream, Coenzyme Q10 is mainly transported by lipoproteins such as LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). It is thought that Coenzyme Q10 is one of the first antioxidants to be depleted when LDL is subjected to oxidation. Hence, CoQ10 is an important nutrient that prevents the oxidation of lipoproteins, thus potentially reducing the risk of arteries from forming plaques and getting damaged.
   In healthy individuals, Coenzyme Q10 is found in high concentrations in the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Benefits of Coenzyme Q10
Diabetes: Coenzyme Q10 may be beneficial in diabetics. It helps improve the function of endothelial cells lining blood vessels and may slightly help with blood sugar control. 

Heart Attacks: In a small trial of patients with recent myocardial infarction, Coenzyme Q10--used in addition to aspirin and cholesterol-lowering drugs--decreased the likelihood of further cardiac events for at least one year after the heart attack. The dosage of CoQ10 used in the study was 60 mg twice daily.

Heart Failure: One study shows significant improvement in functional status, clinical symptoms, and quality of life in end stage heart failure patients who were placed on Coenzyme Q10 (see bottom of page).

Hypertension: Coenzyme Q10 may help lower blood pressure by a small amount.

Coenzyme Q10 and Drug interactions
The administration of Coenzyme Q10 and warfarin does not significantly affect the anticoagulant effect of warfarin in rats. A Human trial shows Co Q10 and Ginkgo biloba do not influence the clinical effect of warfarin.

Coenzyme Q10 Side Effects and Cautions
High dosages of Coenzyme Q10 can induce restlessness and insomnia.

Coenzyme Q10 Recommendations
Coenzyme Q10 is beneficial in cardiovascular conditions and this nutrient will likely be found to play some positive role in cognitive or neurodegenerative disorders, but more studies are needed.
   It would seem appropriate to supplement with this nutrient as part of a long-term health regimen, particularly for those with cardiovascular conditions. Long-term therapy with 10 to 30 mg seems to be a reasonable option for many individuals.
