Acting as a catalyst for energy production, Coenzyme Q10 increases energy at a cellular level. It is known to support heart health and overall cellular vigor. CoQ10 levels diminish with age and supplementation can help restore energy, vitality. Coenzyme Q10 (also called CoQ10 or ubiquinone) is also involved in maintaining normal heart function, and it is an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals throughout the body. CoQ10 is required by every cell in our body and is the key to chemical reactions that produce cellular energy. Just as an automobile engine with poor spark plugs chokes, sputters and dies, without enough CoQ10 (our cellular spark plug) our health can break down, resulting in all kinds of degenerative diseases. Studies show that CoQ10 may be effective for congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, some forms of cancer, and gum disease. What are Free Radicals?
Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable compounds created in the body during normal metabolic functions and also from our environment and unhealthy lifestyle choices. They react with certain chemicals in the body and interfere with cells ability to function optimally. When a free radical enters your body, it is attracted to the cells that make up the different tissues of it just like a magnet to metal. It then bonds to parts of the cell, which causes it to deteriorate in a way similar to that which oxygen causes metal to rust. If the cell gets damaged enough, it dies. Worse yet, if the cell DNA is damaged and then the cell reproduces, it reproduces abnormally as a result. When this happens to our skin, we get wrinkles; when it happens to our oxygen carrying blood vessels, we get hardening of the arteries; when it happens to our joints, we get arthritis; in some people - if it happens enough - they may even get cancer. Antioxidants work by bonding with the free radical before it can bond to the cells of your body, thus neutralizing it. This now harmless substance is then deconstructed or merely excreted. CoQ10 and Heart Health
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and approximately 60 thousand miles of blood vessels, called arteries and veins. The heart pumps blood around the body. The vessels nourish cells by transporting nutrients and waste products, through the blood, around the body. Any interruption in blood supply, for example a heart attack or stroke, causes tissue death so the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system is essential. Some medications deplete heart supporting nutrients like coenzyme Q10, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Ironically several of these medications are used to treat cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol lowering medication can deplete coenzyme Q10. Diuretics, used for high blood pressure, increase the excretion of minerals like magnesium and potassium. This can cause problems maintaining heart rhythm and lead to muscle spasms. ACE inhibitors deplete zinc. Beta-blockers deplete coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 improves heart function by increasing cellular oxygenation. It is one of the ten types of coenzyme Q that are found in nature, but the only one that is used by humans. It works in areas like our mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) and cell membranes, to deactivate harmful free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Coenzyme Q10’s antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage in tissues. Coenzyme Q10 is especially important in areas of high metabolic activity because it is involved in the production of ATP, the primary source of energy for our body. Deficiency of coenzyme Q10 is so harmful that low levels of this nutrient have been linked to heart attack. Information provided by Natural Factors.
