Scientific Background
Coenzyme Q-10 is essential to our cell’s ability to manufacture adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), which is our bodies’ energy currency. Since the discovery of coenzyme Q-10 in 1957, ongoing research has demonstrated the importance of this powerful antioxidant in boosting energy, slowing the development of age-related diseases, and even combating gum disease. Co Q-10 is found in many foods, including beef, sardines, and broccoli. However, it is very fragile and easily destroyed by heat. The body manufactures a significant amount of Co Q-10 when we’re young, but this production declines with age. Because the heart is one of the biggest energy consumers in the human body, depleted levels of this energy-producing nutrient may be connected with declining heart health. Studies show that many people of middle age and older have slight Co Q-10 deficiencies.

How it Helps
Coenzyme Q-10
Over 100 studies have shown that Co Q-10 supplements can be helpful to people with high blood pressure and heart problems, or people who are at risk of developing heart problems. In Japan, where extensive research on Co Q-10 has taken place, it is regularly prescribed for heart patients. In Texas, several studies have demonstrated that as little as 30 mg of Co Q-10 daily can help heart patients by increasing volume of blood pumped, improving heart stamina, and diminishing shortness of breath.

Other Important Points about SISU Co Q-10
Co Q10 is naturally fat-soluble. Dry supplements should be taken with a meal containing fat, or a teaspoonful of flax oil for maximum absorption.

As it takes some time to resolve even a mild deficiency, it may take up to eight weeks of daily supplementation to observe a difference in health status.

Many early studies on Co Q-10 were directed at treating periodontal disease. Many individuals who have taken Co Q-10 for its general antioxidant properties have reported that their periodontal health has improved.

Other studies have suggested that it may improve immune health and enhance athletic performance. In fact, it is difficult to imagine anyone of age 30 or older who could not benefit from supplementation with Co Q-10.

Contraindications
Individuals taking Warfarin (Coumadin) may find bleeding times altered. Individuals with heart disease should not suddenly stop Co Q10 as a decompensation reaction may occur. Safety has not been demonstrated among pregnant and lactating women.
