Facts about CoQ10

Based on the data we’ve collected from Preventive-Health-Guide.com here are some facts about CoQ10:

Firstly, what is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10) is a natural chemical compound that we make in our bodies and consume in our diets, primarily from oily fish, organ meats such as liver, and whole grains.

It resides in the energy-producing part of cells and is involved with producing a key molecule known as adenosine-5-triphosphate (or ATP).

ATP is a cell's major energy source and it contributes to several important biological processes, such as the production of protein, and muscle contraction.

Why is CoQ10 important?

Coenzyme Q10 has the potential to vastly improve human health. It can help you combat fatigue, for example, as well as obesity, and a weak immune system (particularly for those with HIV, other viruses, and yeast infections).

It helps boost athletic performance (CoQ10 levels are low in people who exercise excessively), and it improves exercise tolerance in people with muscular dystrophy.

Why is CoQ10 important for dental care?

CoQ10 prevents toxin overload, and swollen gums (those with periodontal disease tend to have low levels of CoQ10 in their gums). Many dental care products contain various nutritional supplements. Coenzyme Q10 is one of these supplements. Historically, the benefits of coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10) in oral health have been known for decades. Oxidative damage occurs in periodontal disease, and research has demonstrated possible therapeutic effects of anti-oxidants in treating and/or preventing periodontal disease are useful, with special attention on CoQ10. Clinically, topical application of CoQ10 to periodontal pockets was evaluated with and without professional cleaning below the gum tissue, and significant improvements were seen that included the reduction of gingivitis, bleeding on periodontal probing and gingival enzyme activity, only at the CoQ10 treated sites. Another clinical study demonstrated that topical application of Coenzyme Q10 was extraordinarily effective in reducing periodontal pocket depth, and that healing was so excellent after 5-7 days of treatment that diseased gingival sites were difficult to locate.

Additional Coenzyme Q10 benefits

• COQ10 helps patients with heart disease
• Coenzyme Q10 benefits patients with high cholesterol. Taking CoQ10 supplements can correct the deficiency caused by drugs, without changing the medication's positive effects on cholesterol levels.
• Coenzyme Q10 benefits patients with Alzheimer’s and cancer. Now, scientists are hoping its effects on the heart, blood systems, and tissue toxicity means CoQ10 can soon be used as part of a treatment program for Alzheimer's disease, and for recovery from stroke. They’re also hopeful about the possibility of using it as part of a treatment regimen for women with breast cancer (together with conventional treatment and a nutritional program involving high levels of other antioxidants and fatty acids).
• Early studies show it may also increase sperm motility, leading to enhanced fertility.

It’s all in a day’s work for CoQ10!
