Description
- Reduce the risk of heart disease by taking 2 CoQ10 Red Softgels daily. CoQ10 RED is provided in an easy to swallow soft gel capsule with greater solubility. Nature and nurture, together with sound scientific knowledge can accurately help prevent and delay the degenerative diseases of aging
- Several studies have shown the benefits of COQ10 in cancer patients. CoQ10 may suppress the proliferation of cancer cells and boost immune factors that kill cancer cells.
- CoQ10 RED is known to improve the immune profile of the skin because of its potent antioxidant effect. Because of its ANTIAGING results on the skin, CoQ10 is added to many of the skin care products to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Taking 100 mg of CoQ10 RED orally provides a much higher concentration of soluble CoQ10 to the skin (face and the entire body). CoQ10 may be effective in therapy against psoriasis.
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors block the biosynthesis of CoQ10 in the body. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ 10) or ubiquinone is essentially a vitamin or vitamin-like substance. Vitamins are defined as organic compounds essential in minute amounts for normal body function acting as coenzymes or precursors to coenzymes. They are present naturally in foods and sometimes are also synthesized in the body. CoQ10 likewise is found in small amounts in a wide variety of foods and is synthesized in all tissues. The biosynthesis of CoQ10 from the amino acid tyrosine is a multistage process requiring at least eight vitamins and several trace elements. Coenzymes are cofactors upon which the comparatively large and complex enzymes absolutely depend for their function. Coenzyme Q10 is the coenzyme for at least three mitochondrial enzymes (complexes I, II and III) as well as enzymes in other parts of the cell. Mitochondrial enzymes of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway are essential for the production of the high-energy phosphate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), upon which all cellular functions depend. The electron and proton transfer functions of the quinone ring are of fundamental importance to all life forms; ubiquinone in the mitochondria of animals, plastoquinone in the chloroplast of plants, and menaquinone in bacteria.
- Recent studies have shown the neuro-protective benefits of CoQ10 on brain cells and possible effect in the prevention of Parkinson's disease. Brain cells of Parkinson's patients have a specific impairment that causes the disruption of their mitochondrial function. Researchers found in one study that CoQ10 levels in Parkinson's patients were 35% lower than age-matched controls. This deficiency caused a significant reduction in the activity of enzymes that are critical to the mitochondrial function of the brain cells.
CoQ10 is a natural potent antioxidant, which protects the mitochondria and the cell membrane against free radicals and oxidative damage. Mitochondria is the power house of the cell and generates energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate) from sugar and fat. Many of the degenerative diseases of aging are referred to as mitochondrial disorders
