What is ISOTONIX Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals and helps preserve vitamin E.The role of Coenzyme Q10 in energy formation also relates to how the body uses carbohydrates.

Coenzyme Q10 is an Advanced System For Cellular Maintenance.

Where is Coenzyme Q10 found in food?

CoQ10 is found primarily in fish and meat, but the amountsin food are far less than what can be obtained from supplements. but the amountsin food are far less than what can be obtained from supplements. it would take approximately 3 pounds of sardines, 7 pounds of beef, to equal 100 mg of supplemental CoQ10.

Where is Coenzyme Q10found in the body?

Virtually every cell of the human body contains Coenzyme Q10.

The mitochondria, the area of cells where energy is produced, contain the most CoQ10.

Aging

As we age, our body's production of CoQ10 declines by as much as 80%

A cell under electron microscopy

Mitochondria - power plant within the cell

Biochemical processes within mitochondria - a continuous cycle of ATP (energy) production

CoQ10 plays an important role in these processes to transform food into the energy on which the body runs, ATP.

Eat your hearts out!

How do you get your energy?

CoQ10 is used by the body to transform food into energy.

Because the body must have energy available to perform even the simplest operation,Coenzyme Q10 is consideredessential for the body's cells, tissues and organs.Even though the body has the ability to produce CoQ10,deficiencies have been reported in a range of clinical conditions.

Coenzyme Q10 can improve health situations of patients with different symptoms.

Coenzyme Q10 May Stave off Migraine

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 10 - Treatment withcoenzyme Q10 appears to be effective in preventing migraine,according to findings of an open-label study.The investigators "utilized coenzyme Q10--an essential elementof the mitochondrial electron transport chain--as a migraine preventive because of the possible role thatmitochondrial dysfunction may play in migraine pathogenesis,”lead researcher Dr. Todd D. Rozen told Reuters Health."Coenzyme Q10 is the most extensively studied agent for the treatment of mitochondrial disorders."

High blood pressure

Coenzyme Q10 Improves High Blood Pressure1/9/03 - Healthnotes Newswire—Coenzyme Q10 is an effectivetreatment for people with a common type of high blood pressure,according to a clinical trial published in the Southern MedicalJournal.

Coenzyme Q10 increases oxygenation to the heart and has been shown toprevent recurrences in people who have had a heart attack.

Coenzyme Q10 increases oxygenation to the heart and has been shown to prevent recurrences in people who have had a heart attack.

The heart and liver contain the greatest amount of CoQ10.Research results show improvement of patients taking Co Q10 with the followingheart conditions:•congestive heart failure - that results when the heart muscle is unable to pump blood as efficiently as is needed.•heart arrhythmias - irregular heartbeats•atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)•Angina - chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart

Many nutritionally oriented physicians will suggest thattheir patients give this supplement a try, especially to improve flagging energy levels. This is because there are substantialcoenzyme Q10 levels in muscle tissue, and depletion couldwell produce symptoms of fatigue.

Fibromyalgia

InfertilityA sperm cell has a lot of mitochondria, which provide energy (ATP) for its motility

Synthesis of sperm requires considerable energy. Due to its role in energy production, CoQ10 has been studiedin infertile men. Preliminary research reports thatsupplementation of CoQ7, a related molecule, increased spermcounts in a group of infertile men

Periodontal disease

Healing of periodontal tissue (the gums of the mouth) mayrequire increased energy production; therefore, researchershave explored the effects of CoQ10 supplementation inpeople with periodontal disease, which has been linked toCoQ10 deficiency. Double-blind research shows thatpeople with gum disease given CoQ10 achieve better results than those given a placebo.

Diabetes

The role of CoQ10 in energy formation also relates to how thebody uses carbohydrates. Preliminary research suggests that a close relative of this nutrient lowered blood sugar levels in agroup of people with diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes havebeen found to have significantly lower blood levels of CoQ10compared with healthy people.

Parkinson disease

Previous studies carried out by Dr. Shults, Richard Haas, M.D.,of UCSD and Flint Beal, M.D., of Cornell University haveshown that coenzyme Q10 levels in mitochondria in Parkinson'sdisease patients are reduced and that mitochondrial function in these patients is impaired. Also coenzyme Q10 can get rid of oxidative free radicals which damage nerve cells.

Some cholesterol lowering drugs inhibitnormal CoQ10 synthesis.Supplementation is advisable.

CancerCoenzyme Q10's antioxidant actions can be enlisted to stopthe free-radical damage believed to cause certain cancers.Several small studies have shown a benefit for people withbreast or prostate cancer. Other findings indicate that coenzyme Q10 boosts the immune system, possibly helping to limit the spread ofcancerous tissue. Clearly more research is needed.There is some evidence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) being effective in treating some side effects of cancer treatment,e.g. heart (cardiac) toxicity from chemotherapy

Weight Loss

The supplement has also been shown to bolster natural weight loss by speeding the body's metabolism of fat.

How much is usually taken?Adult levels of supplementationare usually 30–90 mg per day

Which form of coenzyme Q10 is absorbedthe best?

Some research suggests that a fat-soluble form of CoQ10 is absorbed better than CoQ10 in granular (powder) form.

ISOTONIX Coenzyme Q10 With Vitamin E

is fat-soluble, and isotonic to all body fluidsthe best form to be absorbed and utilized by the body.
