About This Product

Southern Synergy Coenzyme Q10. is necessary for energy production, immune function and repair and maintenance of tissues. It also enhances cell function. It is a powerful anti-oxidant. Everyone needs to take CoQ10 for cardiovascular health but especially those on blood pressure reducing drugs and cholesterol reducing drugs(Statins).

If you take blood pressure reducing drugs or statin drugs to lower cholesterol you should be taking Co-enzyme Q10, as statin drugs lower your Co-Q10 levels. We have introduced this higher dosage capsule for statin drug users. In the body, coenzyme Q10 is found in the mitochondria of cells. The highest proportion of mitochondria are found in organs that do the most work, notably the liver, muscle tissue and the heart. Mitochondria are the intracellular structures that manufacture ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the basic energy molecule of cells. Through a series of chemical reactions food is broken down to its component parts and these are combusted with oxygen to make a unit of ATP.

Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 becomes necessary when its synthesis is impaired through nutritional deficiency, when there is a genetic or acquired defect in synthesis or when there is increased tissue need due to a particular medical condition. These states all interfere with the coenzyme Q10 pathway - a pathway that results in physical energy.

Our ability to absorb or produce coenzyme Q10 deteriorates with age. The decline of coenzyme Q10 levels with time might be linked to the aging mechanism and therefore play a causative role in aging itself.

Dosage: one 90mg capsules per day.
Benefits

In 1964, Coenzyme Q10 was demonstrated to have an energizing effect on heart muscles. The heart has high energy requirements and also high concentrations of coenzyme Q10. Because natural stores drop with age, focus has turned to coenzyme Q10 as a cardiac nutrient. Levels of coenzyme Q10 have been found to be significantly lower in people with heart problems. It has been shown to support the pumping action and electrical functioning of the heart as well as normal blood pressure. This all helps maintain healthy heart function. Despite the relatively long history and excellent reputation, many clinicians and health care professionals in the US, let alone the general public, are not well informed about this wonderful nutrition. Lack of interest of large pharmaceutical companies that seek patentable and more profitable drug items as well as lack of interest of many of the health practitioners to read research reports contributed to low popularity. The situation in Europe and Japan is quite different, and Coenzyme Q10 is better known and more popular there.

Coenzyme Q10 may support cholesterol balance since it has some metabolic processes in common with cholesterol. It acts as an antioxidant which scavenges harmful free radicals, supports the function of vitamin E in the body and also helps recycle vitamin E. The antioxidant function of coenzyme Q10 may enhance its role in cardiovascular health.

Coenzyme Q10 may help improve exercise tolerance by helping muscle cells use oxygen. It may therefore be of some use to athletes wanting to maximise their performance. Coenzyme Q10 also helps control the flow of oxygen within individual cells.

The optimal functioning of the immune system relies on a number of nutrients including Coenzyme Q10. It appears to be non-toxic and well tolerated, even at high doses (100-150mg a day).

Many blood pressure drugs and cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) cause the level of Coenzyme Q10 in the body to drop. This means that if you are taking these drugs then it is particularly important that you take Coenzyme Q10 supplements to compensate even though it is highly likely that your doctor will not tell you this. You can read an article by well regarded health journalist Bill Sardi here. An interview with the principle investigator of the National Institute of Health, USA, Dr Beatrice A. Golomb, MD, PhD and the Colorado Health site, indicates that Co Q10 levels need supplementation when taking Statin drugs. Read it here.

Numerous scientific researches and human clinical trials have been performed on Coenzyme Q10, and in the year 1978, a British scientist Dr. Peter Mitchell was awarded Nobel Prize in chemistry for his study in the role of Coenzyme Q10 in cellular energy production mechanism.

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare practitioner

Caution: Should not be taken by pregnant or lactating women, unless under the supervision of a health care professional, due to a lack of studies done on this group of the population in regards to the safety of coenzyme Q10.
