Beneficial for:
- All Cells:
required for ATP (energy) production and powerful free radical scavenger
- Heart:
Correlation between heart conditions and low levels of CoQ10
Features:
- CoQ10 produced
from sugar cane/beet and not tobacco
- Soft gel oil
preparation for higher absorption
- Combined with
vitamin E for synergistic effects
- Omega-3 included, at 100% of current Recommended Dietary Intakes,
to maximise absorption of CoQ10 and for cardiovascular
health
Therapeutic Benefits:
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the
mitochondria, the energy producing part of the cell, where it regulates energy
production.
CoQ10, also known as Ubiquinone, is an intracellular free radical
scavenger, thus powerful antioxidant. It is a naturally occurring substance,
which plays a critical role in the production of cellular energy, therefore is
of particular importance in conditions where energy production is sub-optimal.
CoQ10’s membrane stabilising effect and ability to improve tissue
oxygenation makes it of specific use in cells with a high energy turnover such
as nerve, cardiac, muscle and white blood cells.Deficiency could be a result of
impaired CoQ10 synthesis due to nutritional deficiencies, a genetic or acquired
defect in CoQ10 production or increased tissue demands.
The addition of fish
oil not only provides essential fatty acids but also acts as a mucosal
transporter to maximise gastrointestinal absorption. This achieves plasma levels
of therapeutic significance.
Vitamin E, in its natural state, provides
superior bioavailability, in addition to delivering antioxidant activity by
inhibiting the production of free radicals.
Cautions
& Interactions:
Do not take while on warfarin therapy without advice from
your health care professional, as it may decrease warfarin
effectiveness.
Anti-hyperlipidaemics (“Statins”) – The statin drugs (eg
lovastatin, simvastatin) are known to decrease CoQ10 levels, as both cholesterol
and CoQ10 share the same metabolic pathways.
Doxorubicin – CoQ10 may
increase the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin.
Antidiabetic medications – CoQ10 may improve glycaemic
control thus medication dosage may need appropriate
adjusting.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding
Because of a lack of long-term safety studies, pregnant women and nursing
mothers should avoid CoQ10 supplements.
