Contains Pure Coenzyme Q10 — A Naturally Occuring Antioxidant

Coenzyme Q 10 (also known as vitamin Q 10 or ubiquinone) is a compound that is made naturally in the body. A coenzyme is a substance needed for the proper functioning of an enzyme, a protein that speeds up the rate at which chemical reactions take place in the body. The Q and the 10 in coenzyme Q 10 refer to parts of the compound's chemical structure. Coenzyme Q 10 is used by cells to produce energy needed for cell growth and maintenance. It is also used by the body as an antioxidant. Coenzyme Q10 is found in most body tissues. The highest amounts are found in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. The lowest amounts are found in the lungs. Tissue levels of coenzyme Q10 decrease as people get older.

Naturally Occuring Antioxidant

Up until recently, no one heard much about coenzyme Q-10, but that doesn’t diminish its importance to your body. Life Plus’ Co-Q-10 Plus is specially formulated to help you maintain proper coenzyme Q-10 levels in your body. Coenzyme Q 10 is an important naturally-occurring antioxidant that is necessary for cellular energy production. The more energy you burn, the more coenzyme Q-10 your body needs from your diet. In addition to being an important antioxidant, it is also critical to maintaining a healthy cardiac system, supporting healthy gums, and is an integral part of your immune system. Some studies indicate that it may assist in helping you control your weight. Although our bodies naturally produce coenzyme Q-10, as we age we need to obtain more and more of our coenzyme Q-10 from our diets. In order to ensure that you have sufficient coenzyme Q-10 in your daily diet, include Co-Q-10 Plus as part of your regular nutritional supplementation routine.

Integral To The Immune System

Coenzyme Q-10 is an integral part of the immune cycle. When body levels of it are raised, the immune system can receive more help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs. However, antibiotics do not help to rebuild the immune system. On the other hand, Co-Q-10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wider range of beneficial and protective effects. Tissues that need the largest amounts of Coenzyme Q-10 are those that require the most energy, such as the heart. Our internal ability to produce Co-Q-10 declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more on Co-Q-10 from our diets.

Essential Nutrient

Coenzyme Q-10 is a nutrient necessary to the functioning of every cell in our bodies. Our bodies could not survive without it. If body levels start dropping, so does our general health. Scientists estimate that once levels drop below the 25% deficient levels, many disease states begin to flourish including high blood pressure, heart attack, angina, immune depression, periodontal disease, lack of energy, weight gain and even early death.

Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of Co-Q-10. Angina is a condition where inadequate oxygen is available tot he heart muscle itself. People with failing cardiac systems have shown to greatly benefit with increased strength and vigor when supplemented with Co-Q-10. People with high blood pressure usually have lower levels of Co-Q-10. It has been shown at the University of Texas and the University of Antwerp, Belgium that obese people can lose weight simply with the addition of Co-Q-10 to the diet. This research showed that obese people can have as much as a 50% deficiency of Coenzyme Q-10 in their tissues. People who eat a lot and yet stay slim have significantly higher levels of Co-Q-10 in their blood.

This wonderful enzyme can increase metabolic fuel efficiency within your cells - stimulating natural weight loss. Coenzyme 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) disease is a good indicator of low levels of Co-Q-10 in other tissues. The American Dental Association states that at least 87% of the American population has some sort of gum disease. This has been shown to be somewhat related to nutrition and particularly to levels of Co-Q-10, which has been shown to have a good protective effect for gum tissue. †
