Cofactor-Q-10 is a nutrient necessary to the functioning of every cell in our bodies. If body levels start dropping, so does our general health. 

Cofactor-Q-10 deficiency is common in individuals with heart dis-ease. Heart tissue biopsies in patients with various heart dis-eases showed a Cofactor-Q-10 deficiency in 50-75 % of cases.

 

Cofactor-Q-10 and Weight Loss

It has been shown at the University of Texas and the University of Antwerp, Belguim, that obese people can lose weight simply with the addition of CoQ10 to the diet. This research showed that obese people can have as much as a 50% deficiency of CoQ10 in their tissues.

People who eat a lot and yet stay slim have significantly higher levels of CoQ10 in their blood. This great nutrient can increase metabolic fuel efficiency within your cells stimulating natural weight loss.

Cofactor-Q-10 and Periodontal Health

Cofactor-Q-10 exerts its protective and strengthening action in all tissues. Working from the cellular level, it strengthens the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists believe that periodontal (gum) dis-ease is a good indicator of low levels of CoQ10 in other tissues.

The American Dental Asso., states that at least 87% of the American population has some sort of gum dis-ease. This has been shown to be somewhat related to nutrition and particularly to levels of CoQ10, which has been shown to have a good protective effect on gum tissue.

The Cofactor-Q-10 Family

There are at least 10 common C0-Qs, that is, different sized molecules from C0Q-1 to C0Q-10. The liver can utilize other C0-Qs to make C0Q10. If the liver is not functioning efficiently, body levels can be too low, especially with advancing age or if dis-ease is present.

Our internal ability to produce C0Q10 declines with age, and as we get older, we must rely more on our diet. Since most people do not eat the perfect diet we must rely on supplementation to ensure wellness.

Is C0factor-Q-10 Safe?

In tests of thousands of people, no toxicity has ever been shown no matter how high the amount.

Plants and animals get it from the soil, but we get it from the plants and animals that contain various C0-Qs. Taking a supplement, for most people, would seem to be the best way and to know you are getting adequate coverage of C0factor-Q-10.
