Co Q10 For Your Heart Health
Do you have heart problems
or heart disease? Researchers found that in most of the cases
of heart problems, there was an associated deficiency of CoQ10.
Co enzyme q 10 for heart support
Quoting Life Extension February 2004, "In particular,
a study of heart
attack patients showed that compared to placebo, supplementation
with 120 mg a day of coenzyme Q10 reduced secondary cardiac events
by 45% and significantly reduced the number of cardiac deaths."
This is one of many sources that point to the benefits of
using Co Q10 for the heart. So lets see how much difference in
Co Q10 there might be between an ordinary chemical isolate Co
Q10 (found in many supplements) compared with the one made through
a microbial process.
However, it can be hard to to know which type of Co Q10 to
use as so many brands and types of Co Q10 are available.
Scripps Research Institute is a large nonprofit research
organization in San Diego, California. During a natural
Supplements conference there, Joseph A Vinson, PH. D. said that
he found a microbe processed form of co enzyme q10 to be three
times more bio available than a pharmaceutical form of Co Q10.
And a study done at the University of Scranton compared the
two
forms of CoQ10 and found the microbe processed form was 20 times
more powerful as a cardio protectant and antioxidant than the
chemical isolate usually found in many supplements.
Also, the study also showed that the Co enzyme q 10 isolate
leaves the body fairly rapidly, after only 6 hours, while the
studied product
using the microbe process stayed in the blood a full 24 hours
and
maintained higher levels throughout this period.
