  2. Introduction • The purpose of this slide show is to reveal the wonder of Coenzyme Q10.

  3. Topics of Discussion • What it does • Where found • Helpful for • Are you deficient? • Best form • Amount to take

  4. What is ISOTONIX Coenzyme Q10?

  5. Coenzyme Q10 is an Advanced System For Cellular Maintenance. Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals and helps preserve vitamin E. The role of Coenzyme Q10 in energy formation also relates to how the body uses carbohydrates.

  6. Where is Coenzyme Q10 found in food? CoQ10 is found primarily in fish and meat, but the amounts in food are far less than what can be obtained from supplements. but the amounts in food are far less than what can be obtained from supplements. it would take approximately 3 pounds of sardines, 7 pounds of beef, to equal 100 mg of supplemental CoQ10.

  7. Where is Coenzyme Q10found in the body? • Virtually every cell of the human body contains Coenzyme Q10. • The mitochondria, the area of cells where energy is produced, contain the most CoQ10.

  8. Aging • As we age, our body's production of CoQ10 declines by as much as 80%

  10. Mitochondria - power plant within the cell

  11. Biochemical processes within mitochondria - a continuous cycle of ATP (energy) production CoQ10 plays an important role in these processes to transform food into the energy on which the body runs, ATP.

  12. How do you get your energy? Eat your hearts out!

  13. CoQ10 is used by the body to transform food into energy.

  14. Because the body must have energy available to perform even the simplest operation,Coenzyme Q10 is considered essential for the body's cells, tissues and organs. Even though the body has the ability to produce CoQ10, deficiencies have been reported in a range of clinical conditions.

  15. Coenzyme Q10 can improve health situations of patients with different symptoms.

  16. Coenzyme Q10 May Stave off Migraine

  17. NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 10 - Treatment with coenzyme Q10 appears to be effective in preventing migraine, according to findings of an open-label study. The investigators "utilized coenzyme Q10--an essential element of the mitochondrial electron transport chain-- as a migraine preventive because of the possible role that mitochondrial dysfunction may play in migraine pathogenesis,” lead researcher Dr. Todd D. Rozen told Reuters Health. "Coenzyme Q10 is the most extensively studied agent for the treatment of mitochondrial disorders."

  18. High blood pressure Coenzyme Q10 Improves High Blood Pressure 1/9/03 - Healthnotes Newswire—Coenzyme Q10 is an effective treatment for people with a common type of high blood pressure, according to a clinical trial published in the Southern Medical Journal.

  19. Coenzyme Q10 increases oxygenation to the heart and has been shown to prevent recurrences in people who have had a heart attack.

  20. The heart and liver contain the greatest • amount of CoQ10. • Research results show improvement of • patients taking Co Q10 with the following • heart conditions: • congestive heart failure - • that results when the heart muscle is unable to pump blood • as efficiently as is needed. • heart arrhythmias - irregular heartbeats • atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) • Angina - chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart

  21. Fibromyalgia Many nutritionally oriented physicians will suggest that their patients give this supplement a try, especially to improve flagging energy levels. This is because there are substantial coenzyme Q10 levels in muscle tissue, and depletion could well produce symptoms of fatigue.

  22. Infertility A sperm cell has a lot of mitochondria, which provide energy (ATP) for its motility

  23. Synthesis of sperm requires considerable energy. Due to its role in energy production, CoQ10 has been studied in infertile men. Preliminary research reports that supplementation of CoQ7, a related molecule, increased sperm counts in a group of infertile men

  24. Periodontal disease Healing of periodontal tissue (the gums of the mouth) may require increased energy production; therefore, researchers have explored the effects of CoQ10 supplementation in people with periodontal disease, which has been linked to CoQ10 deficiency. Double-blind research shows that people with gum disease given CoQ10 achieve better results than those given a placebo.

  25. Diabetes The role of CoQ10 in energy formation also relates to how the body uses carbohydrates. Preliminary research suggests that a close relative of this nutrient lowered blood sugar levels in a group of people with diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes have been found to have significantly lower blood levels of CoQ10 compared with healthy people.

  26. Parkinson disease Previous studies carried out by Dr. Shults, Richard Haas, M.D., of UCSD and Flint Beal, M.D., of Cornell University have shown that coenzyme Q10 levels in mitochondria in Parkinson's disease patients are reduced and that mitochondrial function in these patients is impaired. Also coenzyme Q10 can get rid of oxidative free radicals which damage nerve cells.

  27. Some cholesterol lowering drugs inhibit normal CoQ10 synthesis. Supplementation is advisable.

  28. Cancer Coenzyme Q10's antioxidant actions can be enlisted to stop the free-radical damage believed to cause certain cancers. Several small studies have shown a benefit for people with breast or prostate cancer. Other findings indicate that coenzyme Q10 boosts the immune system, possibly helping to limit the spread of cancerous tissue. Clearly more research is needed. There is some evidence of coenzyme Q (CoQ) being effective in treating some side effects of cancer treatment, e.g. heart (cardiac) toxicity from chemotherapy

  29. Weight Loss The supplement has also been shown to bolster natural weight loss by speeding the body's metabolism of fat.

  30. How much is usually taken? Adult levels of supplementation are usually 30–90 mg per day

  31. Which form of coenzyme Q10 is absorbed the best? Some research suggests that a fat-soluble form of CoQ10 is absorbed better than CoQ10 in granular (powder) form.

  32. ISOTONIX Coenzyme Q10 With Vitamin E is fat-soluble, and isotonic to all body fluids the best form to be absorbed and utilized by the body.
