ProductDescription

CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) is a compound found naturally in the energy-producing center of thecell known as the mitochondria. CoQ10 is involved in making an importantmolecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the cell's majorenergy source and drives a number of biological processes, including musclecontraction and the production of protein. CoQ10 also works as an antioxidant.

ProductFeature

Researchersbelieve that the beneficial effect of CoQ10 in the prevention and treatment ofheart disease is due to its ability to improve energy production in cells,inhibit blood clot formation, and act as an antioxidant. One important clinicalstudy, for example, found that people who received daily CoQ10 supplementswithin 3 days of a heart attack were significantly less likely to experiencesubsequent heart attacks and chest pain. In addition, these same patients wereless likely to die of heart disease than those who did not receive thesupplements.

ProductSpecification/Models

Levels ofCoQ10 are low in people with congestive heart failure (HF), a debilitatingdisease that occurs when the heart is not able to pump blood effectively. Thiscan cause blood to pool in parts of the body, such as the lungs and legs.Information from several clinical studies suggests that CoQ10 supplements helpreduce swelling in the legs, enhance breathing by reducing fluid in the lungs,and increase exercise capacity in people with HF. Not all clinical studiesagree, however. As a result, some experts conclude that CoQ10 supplements donot contribute any benefit to the usual conventional treatment for HF. Moreresearch is needed to resolve the debate.

Application

Severalclinical studies involving small numbers of people suggest that CoQ10 may lowerblood pressure. However, it may take 4 - 12 weeks before you will see anybeneficial effects. In fact, after reviewing 12 clinical studies, researchersconcluded that CoQ10 has the potential to lower systolic blood pressure by upto 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 10 mm Hg, without significant sideeffects. More research with greater numbers of people is needed to assess thevalue of CoQ10 in the treatment of high blood pressure.

OtherInformation

CoQ10supplements may improve heart health and Blood sugar and help manage highcholesterol and high blood pressure in individuals with diabetes. High bloodpressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease are all common problemsassociated with diabetes. Despite some concern that CoQ10 may cause a suddenand dramatic drop in blood sugar (called hypoglycemia), two recent clinicalstudies in people with diabetes given CoQ10, 200 mg 2 times daily, showed nohypoglycemic response. If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor or registereddietitian before using CoQ10.
