Stop The Clock!
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is also known as ubiquinone. It is similar to Vitamin E due to its powerful antioxidant qualities. This vitamin like substance stimulates the immune system and has anti-aging effects.
Sources say anyone over the age of 50 should take CoQ10 in supplement form because the amount in the body declines as we age. CoQ10 helps produce energy in all body cells and helps with good circulation. Lack of energy is often responsible for lack of exercise, especially in older people. When we regain the ability to exercise, our bodies can become stronger and healthier. Along with proper diet, people should be living much longer than they are.
Many people take CoQ10 because of its ability to fight and prevent cardiovascular disease. In Japan, over 12 million people take CoQ10 daily to treat heart disease because it strengthens the heart muscle. They also take it for high blood pressure and for enhancing their immune systems. CoQ10 also protects their duodenum and stomach lining.
The benefits of CoQ10 supplementation are amazing. People with allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems will find it helpful because it acts as an anti histamine.
Studies performed at the University of Texas showed CoQ10 to be beneficial in treating congestive heart disease and high blood pressure.
There have been excellent results with women who have breast cancer and taking high doses of CoQ10 (over 300 mg. per day). Studies are being done to find what benefits CoQ10 has in the treatment of many cancers.
One of the symptoms of a CoQ10 deficiency is gum disease. Many people with mild gum disease have resolved the problem by taking CoQ10. It may take two months before there is improvement. If the gums do not improve in this time period, a dental professional should be seen. Also, for severe gum disease, a dental professional should be seen immediately.
CoQ10 is also being used to treat people with mental problems including Alzheimer's disease. It also helps fight multiple sclerosis, diabetes, candidiasis, and muscular dystrophy.
Don't expect fast results from CoQ10 supplementation because the buildup in enzyme activity is gradual. It may take four to twelve weeks before you notice the effects, but it is worth the wait.
