Describes Q10 benefits for elderly people
Telomere shortening is a natural part of getting older. Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation at the cellular level can accelerate telomere shortening. CoQ10 supplements may help slow the process of telomere shortening.
Our cells contain a nucleus and many interesting organelles. Among the organelles in our cells, the mitochondria are especially interesting. Originally, far back in time, [...]
Coenzyme Q10 plays a central role in cell metabolism. Consequently, CoQ10 deficiency is associated with a wide range of disorders. Supplementation with CoQ10 or with CoQ10 combined with selenium reduces mortality by nearly 50% in patients with heart failure and senior citizens.
As we get older, our cells undergo altered mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to reduced cellular energy generation, increased oxidative stress, and increased systemic inflammation. CoQ10 supplementation is a therapeutic strategy to protect heart function.
As we get older, our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10. We need CoQ10 supplementation. The absorption of CoQ10 supplements varies widely, depending upon the manufacturer’s formulation. Be sure to buy a CoQ10 supplement with documented absorption and clinical efficacy.
Elderly individuals who have low Coenzyme Q10 and selenium status are at risk of cognitive decline. In the KiSel-10 Study, daily supplementation with a combination selenium and CoQ10 supplements slowed the aging process. The joint supplementation can improve cognitive function.
The aging process is, seemingly, reversible. Harvard professor Dr. David Sinclair and his Harvard University research team have been conducting experiments with mice that show [...]
Sufficient intakes of Coenzyme Q10 are increasingly important as we age. Our bodies synthesize less and less Coenzyme Q10 as we progress from middle [...]
Interesting statistics regarding life expectancy and longevity in the United States: Individuals with no chronic conditions by age 67 years can expect to live [...]
Supplementation with Coenzyme Q10 has primarily made use of the oxidized form called ubiquinone. It is the stable form of Coenzyme Q10, the form [...]
