CoQ 10 Information

This is from Herbal Dave's Notebook CD.

System: General Nutrition
Boosts energy efficiency of cell functions
Co-Q10 Plus is a unique product utilizing a vitamin like substance called "coenzyme Q10." An enzyme can induce chemical changes in other substances without being changed itself. Enzymes are made up of two parts--a protein portion and a cofactor portion consisting of minerals or vitamins.

Coenzyme Q10 ("CoQ10") is essential to the health of all human tissues. It helps move energy and increases the efficiency of cellular metabolism. Supplementation with 10-30mg/day is typical. Therapeutic doses are often over 100mg/day.
CoQ10 deficiencies are being discovered in a wide range of problems including heart diseases, diabetes, immune deficiency, obesity, high blood pressure, gum disease, ulcers, allergies, reduced mental function, and muscular dystrophy. Of course, energy efficiency also improves physical endurance and performance.

Although CoQ10 is known to be chemically similar to vitamin K it does not share vitamin K's contraindications or interactions.

Each capsule of Co-Q10 Plus contains 10 mg of coenzyme Q10 in combination with the following minerals (percentages calculated per every three capsules):

Copper, 7.5 mg, 375 % USRDA
Iron, 6 mg, 32 % USRDA
Magnesium, 75 mg, 18 % USRDA
Zinc, 15 mg, 100 % USRDA

These minerals are organically chelated to the amino acids leucine, histidine and glycine for better absorption. These are combined in a base of capsicum fruit and hawthorn berries which are also know to help the heart and circulatory system.

Each capsule of Co-Q10-30 contains 30 mg of coenzyme Q10.
Each capsule of Co-Q10-100 contains 100 mg of coenzyme Q10. These capsules cost 30 percent less per mg than CO-Q10-30.

Take one capsule with meals three times daily. For maximum benefits, take with meals containing a little fat.
Co-Q10 Plus - Stock No. 1796-4 (60)
Co-Q10-30 - Stock No. 4034-2 (60)
Co-Q10-100 - Stock No. 1822-9 (60)

"In the book Miracle Cures, Ms. Carper recommends that a person take 50-150 milligrams per day as a maintenance dose for a healthy heart. Nature's sunshine CO Q10-30 offers 30 mg. of CoQ10 per capsule. Three capsules per day deliver 90 mg., which is right in the maintenance range. In addition, NSP's CoQ10-30 is a source of copper, magnesium and zinc, and the herbs capsicum and ginkgo biloba-all of which supports circulatory and heart health."

These are tape notes are from a tape by Jack Ritchason. Taken 3-95 . . . . .
Book - The Miracle Enzyme Co Q10. This should be called a vitamin but it''s not. Was used for periodontal diseases They found that gum tissue and heart tissue are identical, so they started using it for heart problems. The lowest therapeutic amount of Co Q10 they have found to be effective is 30 mg per day. They have never found any toxic level of Co Q10. NSP has a Co Q10 formula and they added Hawthorn and Capsicum All you have to add is Vitamin E. [PS, Dr Jack R. has more recently recommended 300 mg for heart issues and 400 mg for cancer issues. These are daily amounts]

Dr. Shoot (most noted authority in the world on Vitamin E) said you need a minimum of 100 units of 2 for every 10 years of age, that''s for a healthy person, you may need 200 per 10 years if you have a cardiac problem Dr. Shoot used Hawthorn himself but he never mentioned it because of all of the ridicule he received over the Vitamin E. He felt they would never accept an herb.
Co Q10 acts like a target formula - Do you understand Target Formulas?

When you bind these with amino acids and you bind them at a specific temperature, a specific amino acid, not a shot gun approach . Book - Target Minerals by Steven Horne & Harvey Ashme Example : if you take 95 mg of zinc into your body you may only get 5 mg absorption and utilization factor, Why? You''ve got a conveyor belt going, no one pushes a button to stop it, it is constantly moving through the system, if things are not exactly perfect you don''t absorb perfectly, and it doesn''t wait to be absorbed. When you use the Target Formulas, they have been so designed that if you take (using the example of the zinc) 5 mg of zinc, now you are getting about 95% absorption, that''s how effective it is. -Joanne Toates

CO-Q-10 AND BREAST CANCER
Healthy Update (http://www.healthy.net)
CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone or ubiquinol, is a naturally occurring nutrient normally present in our bodies and available through foods (especially fish or meats) and supplements. In addition to being an antioxidant, it plays a significant role in the energy system of each of our cells. A study conducted in Denmark in 1994 showed patients with breast cancer given CoQ10 fared better than those without it. In order to better understand the role of CoQ10 in breast cancer, a recent clinical trial including 200 women hospitalized for the biopsy of a breast tumor was conducted. The more serious the cancer, the less CoQ10 was present in the blood, reports Dr. Sahelian in his latest column, ""CoQ10 and breast cancer."" The researchers state that since pro-oxidants may promote tumor formation, CoQ10 supplementation in breast cancer could be relevant.

It is vital to cardiovascular health:
"Insufficient serum blood levels and tissue deficiencies of CoQ10 have been demonstrated in a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases, including angina pectoris, aortic valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension (high blood pressure), mitral valve prolapse, and even in individuals following coronary artery bypass surgery. In addition, research has consistently confirmed a strong correlation between the severity of heart failure and low blood and tissues levels of CoQ10. This should come as no surprise, since the heart requires the highest amount of ATP activity in order to support its constant aerobic function (pulsation). Thus, sufficient levels of CoQ10 are essential for a healthy heart and critical for a failing heart." -Laura Clement (Source: HART Toolkit, 1999 www.herballure.com)
