CoQ10 and Cardiovascular Health

CoQ10 was first identified as an energy powerhouse in 1957. It is widely recognized today as the natural treatment of choice for cardiovascular disease, including congestive heart failure, hypertension, angina pectoris and arrhythmia.

This nutrient's power lies in its influence on the synthesis of ATP - energy produced by the cells that run the many functions of the body. In addition, it exerts antioxidant power, insuring that the body is able to repair oxidative damage tied so closely to the aging process. Because the heart claims so much of the body's energy production and antioxidant power, it is no surprise that CoQ10 has a profound influence on cardiovascular health.

CoQ10 levels peak at about age 20 and fall slowly thereafter. With age, science has shown that there is an even greater decrease in CoQ10 levels in the liver and skeletal muscle.

New research is indicating that we further tax our stores of CoQ10 when we take statin drugs to lower cholesterol.

If you are taking medication to lower blood pressure or cholesterol, research indicates that taking CoQ10 may offer significant benefit. A randomized, double-blind study tested the effect of 60 mg. of CoQ10 soft gel capsules in patients with coronary artery disease who were taking medication for hypertension.

• After 8 weeks, researchers found a significant decrease in diastolic and systolic blood pressure, waist-to-hip ratio and heart rate.
• Fasting triglyceride levels, two hour plasma insulin, fasting insulin and plasma glucose levels all showed a significant decrease in the CoQ10 treated patients compared to those receiving a placebo.
• HDL cholesterol levels (good cholesterol!) were significantly increased.
• Indicators of free radical stress and lipid peroxides also decreased significantly in patients given CoQ10. This groups' levels of vitamin C, E and beta carotene showed a significant increase as well, indicating the influence of CoQ10 on the body's antioxidant defenses.

For optimal health maintenance, healthy people over the age 40 should take at least 100 mg a day of absorbable CoQ10. New Spirit's BioAvail 265 provides CoQ10 in an oil-base that in clinical tests has been shown to improve absorption 265% over the powdered form.
