COQ10 A Powerful Antioxidant
Essential For Good Health and Well being

In Every Cell.
COQ10 is in virtually every cell in the human body. The mitochondria, the area of the cell where energy is produced, contains the most. Science now believes that this nutrient is essential for generating 95% of the total energy required by the human body. The heart and the liver, because they contain the most mitochondria per cell, contain the greatest amount of coenzyme Q10. According to Dr Robert Rowan 95% of the coenzyme Q10 in your blood is in the form of ubiquinol.

Basic Cell Function.
Ubiquinol is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of all cells. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Your body peaks in coenzyme Q10 production around 20 years of age and by 40 is very noticeably low.Powerful Antioxidant
In the Ubiquinol form this coenzyme is a powerful antioxidant with significant benefits. It also helps the body preserve Vitamin E another powerful antioxidant. Recent studies have shown very promising correlations when consuming high levels of Q10 can lead to reduced symptoms (or slowed onset of symptoms) from Parkinson's Disease and Congestive Heart Failure. It has also been found to produce a small reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Low levels of Q10 have been found in patients with hypertension.

Prescription Drug Side Effects.
Because of the rampant increase in prescription drug use, supplementation with ubiquinol is even more important. Coq10 greatly benefits the people who take high blood pressure medication, high cholesterol pills and drugs for diabetes. In particular the prescription drugs known as statin drugs and the ones called beta blockers. These drugs are known to cause a decrease in the serum levels of coenzyme q10 in the blood stream and cells of the body.

Bodies Energy Source
Ubiquinol works by being the catalyst for ATP. ATP occurs, in every cell of your body and serves as a source of energy for many of your body’s biochemical processes and represents the reserve energy in your muscles. Your heart for example, being a muscle which is continually in motion, needs a constant supply of ATP. This is where the importance of this nutrient comes into play: ATP cannot be produced without it. Coenzyme Q10 therefore plays a vital role in body health especially the heart.
In Food
Coenzyme q10 is found naturally throughout the human body. Small amounts of it are obtained from eating meat and seafood, but the vast majority is created directly by the body. The highest dietary sources of Coenzyme Q10 are fresh sardines and mackerel, the heart and liver meats of beef, lamb and pork, along with eggs. Vegetable sources are spinach, broccoli, peanuts, wheat germ and whole grains,in that order. The amounts in food are not sufficient considering the amounts needed.

Absorption
This nutrient is absorbed by the small intestine and transferred into the lymphatics; from there it enters the blood stream. Historically absorption has been very poor. In fact the supplement form called ubiquinone, the only one available until now, has been tested and shows only a 2% to 3% absorption rate. Recently a much higher quality form of this coenzyme, ubiquinol, has been developed as a supplement. Further if you take the ubiquinone form the body has to break it down to the useable ubiquinol form to be used properly. In fact, over 95% of the CoQ10 stored in the body is in the form of ubiquinol. Ubiquinol achieves higher elevations of circulating Co10 in the bloodstream with just a fraction of the supplement dose required. This is especially beneficial for individuals over 50 years of age and those who have a substantially lower level of this Coenzyme. We recommend Ubiquinol to all our readers. We do not recommend any supplement in powder form or any supplement that is not 100% ubiquinol.This is why we only sell q10 in the ubiquinol form.
