Q & A CoQ10

 

. What is it?

CoQ-10, a vitamin-like substance, was discovered in 1957 by Dr. Frederick Crane. Since then, research has shown that CoQ-10 occurs naturally in almost all plants and animals, including humans. Perhaps that is why it is also called “ubiquinone” (or, ubiquitous—meaning “everywhere present”—quinone). It is manufactured by the human body and found in every living cell.

What is its purpose?

CoQ-10 could be referred to as the ‘human energy quotient’, because it is 100% required for the production of energy necessary to keep the body functioning properly. Mitochondria are sometimes described as “cellular power plants,” because their primary function is to convert organic materials into energy in the form adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the body’s main energy source. ATP must be produced constantly to support every cell in the body. CoQ-10 is found in high concentration in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas—all of which require greater levels of energy for proper function. CoQ-10 is also known to be a powerful antioxidant. It helps protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Why take it as a
supplement?

As you get older, your body produces less and less of its own CoQ-10. Scientists have shown that your levels peak in your 20’s, and a steady decline begins in your mid-30’s. By the time you reach the age of 70, you’re functioning on less than 1/3 the amount of CoQ-10 you had in your 20’s.
Some scientists believe that low levels of CoQ-10 in the body may be a leading cause of a in a number of weakened states of health, possibly playing a part in degenerative illnesses.

Studies have shown that most people with heart disease, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS have lower CoQ-10 levels than healthy individuals. It is also important to note that people taking prescription drugs for lowering cholesterol, known as statins, most likely also have depleted levels of CoQ-10 If you take prescription drugs for lowering your cholesterol, you may want to address the issue of CoQ-10 supplements with your health care provider.

What is the Recommend Dosage?

The most recommended dosage for healthy adults is between 30 mg and 90 mg per day. Individuals with particular health concerns may choose to supplement with higher levels, consulting their health care professional first. These recommended dosages are based on research, though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have not approved them as treatment. For best results, consult a health care professional well versed in the usage of natural supplements.
