Supplement with CoQ10
Take Heart! Medical researchers tell us that many forms of heart disease can be prevented and even reversed. Doctors increasingly suggest integrated approaches to heart health that combine diet, lifestyle, nutritional supplementation, exercise and attitude with qualified professional health care. This holistic style empowers us all to actively participate in creating our own natural prescription for heart health. At the core of this heart health program is supplementation with CoQ10.
What is CoQ10 & What Does it Do?
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinol is a fat-soluble antioxidant with multiple therapeutic benefits. Found naturally in every cell, its name originates from the word ubiquitous, meaning “found everywhere.” Some of the highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in our hearts. As an integral part of the energy-producing center of the cell (mitochondria), CoQ10 plays a critically important role in our overall health and metabolism. It literally helps to spark energy production within our cells.
Heart-felt Benefits
According to Dr Andrew Weil, one of the world’s leading integrative health physicians, coenzyme Q10 is super beneficial for heart health in many, many ways. It helps maintain the normal oxidative state of LDL cholesterol; it supports circulation and ensures optimal heart muscle function. CoQ10 may also improve the health of blood vessels. And that’s not all!
Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to reduce the number and severity of migraine headaches.
Especially recommended for those people with a family history of heart problems or with any increased risk for cardiovascular disease, CoQ10 is also safe and appropriate for healthy men and women as a preventive measure and to help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Are You Deficient?
CoQ10 deficiency has been associated with cardiovascular problems including angina, arrhythmia, heart failure and high blood pressure. Problems with blood sugar regulation, gingival (gum) health, and stomach ulcers have also been associated with CoQ10 deficiency. Those who are taking statins to lower cholesterol are at particular risk for deficiency, because statins block normal CoQ10 synthesis in the body. Low CoQ10 levels in patients on statins can contribute to the common side effects of statin therapy such as fatigue and aching joints and muscles.
As we age, our CoQ10 levels naturally decrease, making us more susceptible to heart health problems. In addition, many medications have a negative impact our body’s CoQ10. The most common medications that can lower CoQ10 levels in the body include: statins and fibric acid derivatives (for cholesterol), beta-blockers (for high blood pressure), and tricyclic antidepressant medications. These deficiency risks can be reduced through regular supplementation. People report significant heart health improvements with the use of CoQ10.
