Description
CoQ10 Gel is essential to the production of energy in the mitochondria, the power plant, of every cell in the human body.
CoQ10 Gels is recognized as a miracle antioxidant.
CoQ10 supplementation has also been shown to be an effective adjunct treatment to conjunctive heart failure, angina pectoris, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, mitral valve prolapse and periodontal disease, as well as helpful in the treatment of muscular dystrophy, chronic fatigue, diabetes, allergies, weight loss, AIDS, liver problems, as a powerful antioxidant for the brain and in potentiating the immune system. Dietary supplementation of CoQ10 is recommended for all individuals. As the body ages, naturally produced CoQ10 levels decrease making it imperative to supplement the diet with CoQ10 to maintain optimal levels.
CoQ10 is fat soluble and experts recommend it be taken in soft gels which suspends the ingredient in oil for effective assimilation into the body. Numerous clinical studies show that sufficient levels of CoQ10 can strengthen the heart and elevate energy while low levels are linked to cardiovascular disease.

Additional Information
Coenzyme Q10 (also known as CoQ10, Q10, vitamin Q10, ubiquinone, or ubidecarenone) 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 Q10 refer to parts of the compound's chemical structure. Coenzyme Q10 is used by cells to produce energy needed for cell growth and maintenance. It is also used by the body as an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that protects cells from chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that can damage important parts of cells, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). (DNA is a molecule inside cells that carries genetic information and passes it from one generation to the next.) This damage may play a role in the development of cancer. 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. What is the history of the discovery and use of coenzyme Q10 as a complementary or alternative treatment for cancer? Coenzyme Q10 was first identified in 1957. Its chemical structure was determined in 1958. Interest in coenzyme Q10 as a potential treatment for cancer began in 1961, when a deficiency of the enzyme was noted in the blood of cancer patients. Low blood levels of coenzyme Q10 have been found in patients with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck. Studies have yielded information about how coenzyme Q10 works in the body to produce energy and act as an antioxidant. Some studies have suggested that coenzyme Q10 stimulates the immune system and increases resistance to disease. In part because of this, researchers have theorized that coenzyme Q10 may be useful as an adjuvant therapy for cancer. (Adjuvant therapy is treatment given following the primary treatment to enhance the effectiveness of the primary treatment.)
