Coenzyme Q10 Research

 Due to the ever increasing popularity of COQ10, coenzyme Q10 research has accelerated so as to validate the fantastic claims made by COQ10 enthusiasts. It's been claimed to counter, prevent and treat cancer, Alzheimer's disease, even memory loss as well as providing anti-aging benefits. Coenzyme Q10 (or COQ10) is already widely used as a heart supplement in Sweden, Italy, Japan, the U.S., and New Zealand with its popularity continuing to grow. While significant therapeutic health benefits are ascribed and validated for COQ10, clearly further coenzyme Q10 research is needed.

The Latest Coenzyme Q10 Research - Benefits of COQ10

A lot of Coenzyme q10 research has already been conducted, verifying its many proclaimed functionality. We'll discuss those health benefits momentarily, but first some basics. COQ10 is actually produced by the body. It does, however, need other vitamins -- chemical agents if you will -- to produce the body's necessary supply of COQ10. However, even though the body produces its own supply, research shows that those with certain health conditions actually have deficient amounts. That is undoubtedly why COQ10 supplementation has gained popularity. Now, let's separate fiction from fact. What has recent research validated about COQ10? The following:
  • It improves the function of mitochondria in the cell. Mitochondria is responsible for a cell to make energy. Research shows that those with heart problems lack coq10. In the heart, Coenzyme Q10 research shows diminished levels of this critical compound in our hearts. Those with Parkinson's disease are also shown to have low levels of COQ10 with the mitochondria of their cells. Remember, mitochondria affects energy production of the cell.
  • Coenzyme q10 research shows coq10 can slow the early stages of Parkinson's disease.
  • Those suffering from heart disease have heart function enhanced when taking a coenzyme q10 supplement. Its antioxidant properties research suggests inhibits plaque buildup.
  • Angina and arrythmias pains are less intense
  • It boosts the immune system thus helping to prevent and treat cancer of the breast and prostate cancer (more research is needed though) as well as helping in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
  • Helps chronic fatigue syndrome patients by helping mitochondria at the cellular level.
  • Works well with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. In fact, some doctors recommend taking a coq10 supplement together with the prescribed drug as the cholesterol drug has a tendency to deplete coq10 stores in the body.

COQ10 Precautions - Recommendations

Here are my recommendations that have been gleaned from our coenzyme Q10 research regarding and also as pertains to recommended coenzyme Q10 dosage amounts.
  1. Maximum dosages as recommended by doctors is 100 to 200 mg a day depending on the ailment. e.g., for arrhythmias, anti-aging actions, high blood pressure, and cancer prevention, take 50 mg twice a day; for use with a statin drug, take 50 mg once in the morning; for symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and congestive heart failure, take 100 mg twice a day.
  2. Pregnant women especially should always consult with their physician first before embarking on a supplement -- this applies really to all, we suggest.
  3. Side effects are reportedly uncommon -- even at a very high coenzyme Q10 dosage intake.

Choosing A COQ10 Supplement: What To Look For

Make sure you take COQ10 along with Vitamins E, B3, B6, B12, as well as gugulipid extract for maximum synergistic effect. The supplements should be produced at pharmaceutical standard GMP registered facilities.

They should also have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file for review by you confirming the potency of the ingredients listed on the label. Enteric coated tablets is also recommended as it preserves the nutrients through the stomach until it can get into the upper intestine for assimilation. Enteric coating is also important as skeptics say COQ10 loses its nutritional quality when traveling through the harsh gastric acids of the stomach.

Quality Product

There is a New Zealand company that meets all the above criteria. In New Zealand where regulatory requirements are stricter than even FDA standards. Their multivitamin product has over 70 vitamins, minerals, specialty trace nutrients, enzymes, and herbal extracts. This multivitamin actually doesn't have Coenzyme Q10 in it. In fact, some experts believe Coenzyme Q10 loses its potency in the digestive system. But, there is a work around solution.

Key nutrients in the body, which this vitamin supplement has, actually help the body make the necessary COQ10! Give the body the nutrients it needs, and it'll do the rest. Therefore, I do recommend that you don't take a COQ10 supplement -- instead take the nutrients that create it. For more info, here is a more information. In addition, if you'd like more information on COQ10 and the benefits of COQ10, we offer this COQ10 information page as well.

I've been taking this pharmaceutical grade multivitamin supplement for some time and can attest to its benefits. I have more energy, better sleep, and better overall health.

I hope this article has been helpful to you.

Yours in health, hope, and harmony,
