Kirkman's CoEnzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is also known as "ubiquinone" and most commonly as CoQ10. This
substance is an essential component of mitochondria-the energy producing unit of our body cells. Every body process including all immune responses requires CoQ10.

The body manufactures CoQ10 but many people don't make it very efficiently due to the
highly complicated biochemical process involved. The quantity of CoQ10 obtained from dietary sources is often insufficient. Poor diets can lead to a CoQ10 deficiency as can aging.

How can CoEnzyme Q10 Supplementation Help Individuals

CoQ10 is a necessary component of the energy producing process of every cell. No other substance can be substituted for it and without it there literally is no life. In order for the body to produce an immune response, a constant supply of energy is required and to produce this energy, a continuous and adequate amount of CoQ10 must be present.

Coenzyme Q10 also has very strong antioxidant power. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage. Simply defined, a free radical is a highly reactive molecule which can bind and damage (or destroy) body cells. Oxidative free radical damage is what makes us age. Antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals. Antioxidants seem to work best in combination, and CoQ10 does work synergistically with other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E and beta carotene.

Other potential benefits of CoEnzyme Q10

CoQ10 may have a place in cardiovascular health. The main detoxifying organ in our bodies is the liver. In order to accomplish the detoxification, continuous cellular energy is required. CoQ10 helps support this cellular energy.

Is CoEnzyme Q10 Safe?

Long term use of CoQ10 has exhibited no adverse effects. It is well tolerated by the body and the only reported side effect has been slight nausea or discomfort and this is extremely rare. When a group of 5,143 patients were given CoQ10 (30 mg.), less than 1.5% reported any side effects.5

Why might I need to supplement with CoEnzyme Q10?

CoQ10 is a totally natural substance and is found in many foods. Foods richest in the nutrient are organ meats such as liver, heart or kidney and certain fish, mainly sardines and mackerel. Other sources include eggs, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, corn and sesame seeds. Various nuts such as pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, chestnuts and almonds also contain CoQ10. Unfortunately, foods which are cooked or processed have their levels of CoQ10 reduced.
