This essential nutrient helps build heart health and cellular strength. You may not realize that CoEnzyme Q-10 is in every cell in your body. It helps regulate the absorption and transmission of oxygen in cells. Studies show that after the age of 50 CoEnzyme levels drop by about 50%, which puts your body at risk for damage. This supplement will help protect your body’s heart, circulatory system, and cellular integrity.
Statin Drugs and Coenzyme Q10: Healthcare professionals need to be aware of the potential depletion of essential nutrients in patients taking prescription medications for longer periods of time. Specifically, there is concern that statins lower the levels of Coenzyme Q-10. There is a reduction of CoQ10 level and could compromise coronary atherosclerosis, even after a patient has reduced cholesterol levels with statin drugs.
Since many thyroid patients have problems with high cholesterol, and are taking the class of drugs known as "statins," (i.e., Lipitor, Zocor, etc.), patients should be aware of the potential risk of Coenzyme Q-10 depletion, and discuss it with their physicians.
Statin drugs are one of the most used pharmaceutical classes of products throughout the world. Lipitor® (atorvastatin) and Zocor® (simvastatin) have been ranked among the top 10 prescription drugs since 1999, with $9.2 billion in sales generated.
Clinical research has documented the benefit of these drugs for the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Other possible indications include reduction of Alzheimer disease, risk of stroke, and osteoporosis. Millions of Americans use these drugs on a daily basis, and are expected to take them for many years in order to manage elevated cholesterol levels.
Research in the field of nutritional medicine has revealed drug-induced nutrient depletions. Pelton, LaValle et al raised the issue that side effects from drug therapy may be the result of nutritional deficiencies and not be directly due to the drug itself.(1)
The potential adverse effect of statin drugs is being discussed in scientific literature, but such information is not currently documented in the PDR or other drug information databases that are used on a daily basis by physicians and other healthcare professionals. As healthcare professionals, we need to be attentive to the potential depletion of essential nutrients in patients taking prescription medications for an extended period of time.
The widespread use of statin drugs is of special concern because they can lower the endogenous levels of Coenzyme Q10, (The definition of endogenous = Originating or produced within an organism, tissue, or cell: endogenous secretions.) the naturally-occurring form of ubiquinone in humans. (Ubiquinone is widely recognized as an essential component of energy metabolism in the electron-transfer system in mitochondrial membranes.) At physiological concentrations it is also recognized as an effective lipid-soluble antioxidant. It is one of the end products of the mevalonate pathway where dolichol (a component of animal membranes) and cholesterol are synthesized. Both ubiqionone and dolichol are released by the liver cells into the blood circulation, but in much lower concentrations than that of cholesterol.
It is found that heart tissue is deficient in CoQ-10 in about 75% of all heart victims and that therapeutic effects were reported in at least 70% of all people using CoQ-10.
Your heart beats 70 times a minute, 100,000 times a day, and pumps the equivalent of 2,500 - 5,000 gallons of blood per day through some 60,000 miles of blood vessels. With each beat, blood travels as far as your big toes and back again, nourishing trillions of cells within your body. Since the demands upon your hearts' energy are so great, current research supports the supposition that heart disease may be connected to insufficient CoQ-10.
According to Dr. Roger Williams of the University of Texas: It is found that Co-Enzyme Q-10 which is a vital link in the metabolic machinery of living cells, is often deficient in the heart tissues of cardiac patients, while in the tissues of patients who's hearts are healthy (biopsy specimens), this deficiency does not exist.'
High blood pressure is known as a silent killer; because its victims often have no symptoms and it kills over 60,000 people a year in the USA and is directly related to more than 250,000 deaths in the USA from stroke and cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure contributes to conditions such as arteriosclerosis which is hardening of the arteries, and arteriosclerosis that is the cholesterol plaques on the artery walls, both of which are major causes of heart attack. By helping bring blood pressure down, CoQ-10 may significantly reduce the risk of heart at tack and cardiovascular disease.
It appears that this wonderful nutrient is not only useful for treating heart disease and high blood pressure but it can also be utilised to protect the heart from further damage, improve the effects of heart surgery, protect the heart from potentially toxic drugs, and even work as a preventative. In addition, as far back as 1975 experiments showed CoQ-10 to be effective in reversing gum disease. An amazing 30-40% of all Americans have chronic gum disease. As many as 32 million will lose teeth, face possible facial disfigurement and worse.
