Therapeutic Benefits
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential component of the mitochondria, the energy producing part of the cell, where it regulates energy production.
CoQ10, also known as Ubiquinone, is an intracellular free radical scavenger, thus powerful antioxidant. It is a naturally occurring substance, which plays a critical role in the production of cellular energy, therefore is of particular importance in conditions where energy production is sub-optimal.
CoQ10’s membrane stabilising effect and ability to improve tissue oxygenation makes it of specific use in cells with a high energy turnover such as nerve, cardiac, muscle and white blood cells.Deficiency could be a result of impaired CoQ10 synthesis due to nutritional deficiencies, a genetic or acquired defect in CoQ10 production or increased tissue demands.
The addition of fish oil not only provides essential fatty acids but also acts as a mucosal transporter to maximise gastrointestinal absorption. This achieves plasma levels of therapeutic significance.
Vitamin E, in its natural state, provides superior bioavailability, in addition to delivering antioxidant activity by inhibiting the production of free radicals.
Cautions & Interactions
Do not take while on warfarin therapy without advice from your health care professional, as it may decrease warfarin effectiveness.
Anti-hyperlipidaemics (“Statins”) – The statin drugs (eg lovastatin, simvastatin) are known to decrease CoQ10 levels, as both cholesterol and CoQ10 share the same metabolic pathways.
Doxorubicin – CoQ10 may increase the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin.
Antidiabetic medications – CoQ10 may improve glycaemic control thus medication dosage may need appropriate adjusting.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding
Because of a lack of long-term safety studies, pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid CoQ10 supplements.
Directions for Use
Adults: Take one capsule 3 times daily with food. |
