What is CoQ10?

CoQ10 plays a vital role in the functioning of your heart,
brain and immune system.

CoenzymeQ10 (also known as CoQ10, ubiquinone and ubidecarenone) is a naturally occurring enzyme that is found in all the cells of the body. Deep inside your mitochondria (the “power plants” of your cells), CoQ10 plays a critical role in producing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - the energy source used to fuel your heart and entire body.

Naturally present in the body, CoQ10 fuels cell energy
and is essential to live.

The highest concentration of CoQ10 is found in your heart, where it benefits cardiovascular function. Your heart requires incredible amounts of energy to function. CoQ10 fuels that energy production.

As we age, less CoQ10 is produced in our bodies.

Unfortunately, aging, an unhealthy diet, environmental toxins, mental stress and even Statin drugs (used to lower cholesterol) can all diminish CoQ10 levels in your body. In fact, the aging process alone can reduce CoQ10 levels in your heart muscle wall by up to 72%! 1,2 And low CoQ10 levels have been found in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, high blood pressure and more.3

"...The massive amount of good research convinced me beyond a doubt that CoQ10 can improve health, prevent disease and some cases actually be used as a treatment in conjunction with regular medical care."

- Dr Bruce Miller, D.D.S., C.N.S.

Low levels of CoQ10 may be connected to premature aging
and vulnerability to disease.

neurons If you are low in CoQ10, then energy production is not very efficient in your cells. As a result, the organs made up of these low CoQ10 cells, are often slow and ineffective. This can have a negative impact on the body, and particularly your heart, possibly making you more vulnerable to disease and premature aging.4 "Many of the ill effects of aging can be linked directly to the failing of the immune system. And it is not just coincidence that the decline of the immune potential directly parallels the body's inability to supply CoQ internally."5

CoQ10 can be found in natural food sources.

CoQ10 is available naturally through food sources such as beans, beef, eggs, fish (especially codfish, mackerel, salmon, sardines) and spinach, whole grains and organ meats. However, we do not usually consume enough of these types of food to meet the needs of our lower CoQ10 levels as we age. In one example, it would take "one pound of sardines, two pounds of beef and two and one half pounds of peanuts to provide just 30mg of CoQ10."6

"There is no downside to taking CoQ10. CoQ10 is as safe as drinking pure, mountain-fresh water. In fact, in over 12 years of personal experience with over 10,000 patients as well as my friends, family and myself, I have never seen a problem with CoQ10."

Blood levels of CoQ10 can be increased by taking supplements.

softgels Many people have found that CoQ10 supplementation increases their energy levels, improves their cholesterol or blood pressure, and even reverses or slows disease and aging.

CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant. Similar to Vitamin E, CoQ10 protects the delicate fatty cell membranes from the damaging effects of free radicals or oxidant particles. Oxidant particles are produced from normal metabolic processes in our body. "It is estimated that oxidant particles are responsible to one degree or another for 80% of our degenerative diseases."7

"I think ubiquinol-10 (coenzyme Q10) is going to turn out to be just as important as Vitamin E and C."

- Dr. Bruce Ames, leading antioxidant researcher, University of California, Berkeley

Although more studies need to be completed, preliminary research has indicated CoQ10 supplementation may have a positive effect on helping8:

  • High Blood Pressure
  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Angina
  • Asthma
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Gum Disease
  • Heart Disease
  • Kidney Failure
  • Mitochondrial Disease
  • Muscular Dystrophies
  • Parkinson's Disease

Are all CoQ10 supplements created equal?

CoQ10 supplements can vary widely in quality, formulation and price. Be sure you get your money's worth.

When buying a supplement, look for:

"I recommend CoQ10 to all of my adult patients. To me, it is a 'desert island supplement'. I would not ever want to be without it. I can honestly say that Coenzyme Q10 has helped my patients and my practice immeasurably."

- Fred Pescatore, M.D., MPH, CCN

Solanova's Q-Gel CoQ10

Why many doctors prefer Q-Gel CoQ10.

CoQ10 History

CoQ10 was accidentally discovered in 1957 by researchers at the University of Wisconsin while studying the mitochondria of a beef heart. Dr. Frederick Crane identified the yellow substance as quinone, a naturally occurring chemical found in plants and animals.

"For anyone over age fifty
or so, taking CoQ10 supplements could re-energize aging tissues, alleviate the effects of the aging process and age-associated diseases."

- Professor Anthony W. Linnane, Centre for Molecular Biology and Medicine, Monash University, Clayton, Australia.

Interesting CoQ10 Facts

  • CoQ10 is also called ubiquinone because it is ubiquitous (existing everywhere) in living cells and is an integral part of all living organisms.
  • CoQ was first used successfully in the therapy of congestive heart failure in the '60s.
  • In 1978, English researcher Peter Mitchell received a Nobel Prize for CoQ10 and energy transfer.

"It has been confirmed in clinical studies involving thousands of people who are in ill health−for example suffering from heart disease or diseases associated with weakened immune responses−that if supplements of CoQ are administered, their internal levels of CoQ rise and the disease states diminish as the body acquires renewed energy to fight them off."

- The Miracle Nutrient Coenzyme Q10, Emile G. Bliznakov, M.D. and Gerald L. Hunt. Bantam Books, 1986

CoQ10 supplementation may:

  • Strengthen your heart muscle
  • Boost your energy levels
  • Slow your aging process
  • Support your immune system
  • Improve blood pressure levels
  • Increase circulation in the heart

"It is my belief that supplemental CoQ10 not only improves the quality of life in patients with diseases, but also saves lives..."

- Dr. Stephen Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.N, C.N.S., The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon, Keats Publishing, 1998

Dosing:

  • According to MayoClinic.com, 50-1,200 milligrams of CoQ10 have been taken in divided doses by mouth daily.9 Common supplement dosages are 60-100mg/day.
  • CoQ10 should not be taken in place of any medications. It is always best to consult your health care provider when taking supplements.

Safety & Side Effects:

  • CoQ10 is generally considered very safe and is well-tolerated. Mayo Clinic states minor reports of nausea or upset stomach. This side effect may be eliminated by taking the supplement with or after a meal.
