· Sustains Life, If the levels of CoQ10 in your body drop to below 25 %, life can no longer be sustained.
· Parkinson Disease, Studies suggest that Co enzyme Q10 slows the functional decline in Parkinson disease.
· LDL Cholesterol, Co Enzyme Q10’s powerful oxidative effects help prevent LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) from oxidizing; and also prevents the artery blocking process by protecting tissues against free radicals.
· Heart
Attacks: In a small trial of patients with recent myocardial
infarction, CoQ10 -- used in addition to aspirin and
cholesterol-lowering drugs -- decreased the likelihood of further
cardiac events for at least one year after the heart attack. The dosage
of CoQ10 used in the study was 60 mg twice daily.
· A
leading U.S based cardiologist has been able to slowly reduce at least
half of the blood pressure medications in his patients. Hypertension:
CoQ10 may help lower blood pressure by a small amount in some people.
· Heart
Failure: One study in patients with heart failure showed significant
improvement in functional status, clinical symptoms, and quality of
life in end stage heart failure patients who were placed on CoQ10.
· Clinical
research indicates that CoQ10, like Vitamin E, has a preservation role
in the pancreas. Over production of free radicals is a known cause of
diabetes. Power antioxidants like CoQ10 and vitamin E play a key
function in supporting and protecting beta cells of the pancreas from
harmful free radicals.
· Diabetes:
CoQ10 may be of slight benefit in diabetics. It helps improve the
function of endothelial cells lining blood vessels and may slightly
help with blood sugar control.
· Cholesterol:
Individuals on cholesterol medicines of the statin class such as
Lipitor and others, may consider taking CoQ10 supplements since statins
decrease blood CoQ10 levels.
