Health and aging begin at a cellular level and CoQ10 is found in virtually every cell of the body and is essential for cellular energy production. Heart and brain cells require large amounts of uninterrupted energy.
Studies in the U.S. show most heart patients to have significant CoQ10 deficiencies. More international research has been done on CoQ10 than any other drug for congestive heart failure with overwhelming results favoring the use of CoQ10 for both treatment and prevention. CoQ10 supports healthy heart muscle contractions, thereby increasing heart efficiency. Congestive heart failure symptoms were reduced by up to 50% with CoQ10 supplementation.
Research indicated that 39% of high blood pressure patients are deficient in CoQ10. Randomized double blind studies have shown CoQ10 to effectively and consistently lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients, with full potential being reached at 4 to 12 weeks of supplementation. CoQ10 is one of the top ½ dozen prescriptions in Japan for this reason.
Body levels of CoQ10 are influenced by stress, cold, illness, physical activity, hormone levels, and drugs. Cholesterol-lowering Statin drugs in Canada carry a label warning that these medications cause CoQ10 depletion. This reduction in CoQ10 can restrict cellular energy production in the ever active heart muscle and brain cell, having serious impacts.
Statins may also cause thought process problems, simply because they lower cholesterol. Cholesterol is over ½ the dry weight of the brain. Additional side effects of these prescriptions are muscles spasms, nausea, constipation, headaches, and chest pain. The long-term effects of Statins on our bodies’ hormones are still being studied.
Everyone should consider natural cholesterol lowering supplements and/or the addition of CoQ10 to the Statin drug regimen. Once the body is depleted of CoQ10, the stage for chronic illness is set. Supplementation has shown to be a benefit in heart disease, high blood pressure, angina, depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, migraines, lack of energy, and sports endeavors. It also strengthens the immune system and benefits those with diabetes, breast cancer, and infertility problems.
