Information
30mg coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in capsules.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also known as Ubiquinone is an essential
component in the mitochondria of our cells. The mitochondria are the
energy-producing parts of cells. CoQ10 is involved in the manufacture
of packets of energy called ATP. It is thus essential to liberate
energy from the food we consume.
The body synthesises CoQ10, but deficiencies can exist. These can be
the result of nutritional deficiencies, a genetic or acquired defect
in CoQ10 synthesis, or simply increased tissue needs. Metabolically
active tissue has the highest requirement for CoQ10. Cardiovascular
disease, for example, may indicate an increased requirement for this
compound because heart tissue is one of the most metabolically active
tissues in the body.
Besides the ability of CoQ10 to improve energy production within the
body, it also has potent antioxidant activity, helping to protect the
body from the damaging effects of toxins. This activity is however
mainly limited to protection against lipid peroxidation (damage to
fats). It has a sparing effect upon vitamin E and works together with
vitamin E in protecting fat-rich components in the body such as cell
membranes, triglycerides, cholesterol, and the fatty tissues of the
brain and the rest of the nervous system.
The most heavily researched clinical use of CoQ10 is in the treatment
of cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, congestive
heart failure, angina, cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse and in
recovery from coronary artery bypass surgery. CoQ10 deficiency is
common in cardiac disease patients. Heart muscle cells also use fats
primarily as their energy source and CoQ10 is critical to the
metabolism of fatty acids in the mitochondria. The prevention of the
oxidation of fatty acids by CoQ10 is thus of particular benefit to the
health of the cardiovascular system.
Several studies indicate an immune-enhancing effect from the
supplementation of CoQ10, including an improvement in the production
of antibodies.
Sufferers of peridontal disease (gum disease) have been found to have
low levels of CoQ10. In dental surgery studies, supplementation of
CoQ10 was found to increase the rate of post-operative healing.
Studies of sedentary individuals have shown that CoQ10 improves
workout capacity and oxygen transport. These factors may be of
potential benefit to trained athletes to improve physical performance.
The antioxidant activity of CoQ10 would combine well in this respect
due to the fact that aerobic exercise accelerates free radical damage.
CoQ10 may be potentially beneficial when combined with a weight-loss
programme because of the requirement for CoQ10 in the metabolism of
fat into ATP to be used as a source of energy.
