Coenzyme Q10 and Antibiotics
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 and Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia
Coenzyme Q10 is essential for normal mitochondrial function and is important as a lipid-soluble antioxidant and as an anti-inflammatory agent. Adjuvant use of CoQ10 supplementation can help manage rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia without any adverse effects.
Coenzyme Q10 and Liver Function
Good liver function becomes increasingly important as we get older. Daily CoQ10 supplements can reduce the serum levels of the ALT, AST, and GGT liver enzymes. Research shows Coenzyme Q10 in 100-400 mg doses seems to protect liver cells and to affect liver function positively.
Coenzyme Q10 and Multiple Sclerosis
Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation are all factors in the development and progression of Multiple Sclerosis. Adequate Coenzyme Q10 intake is needed for normal mitochondrial function, for antioxidant defense, and for protection against inflammation.
Coenzyme Q10 and Heart Failure
Annually, 6.6 million Americans are diagnosed with heart failure. Adjuvant treatment of heart failure patients with a well-formulated CoQ10 preparation improves patients' heart health and quality of life by enhancing heart muscle bioenergetics and reducing oxidative stress.
Coenzyme Q10 and Selenium and Reduced Systemic Oxidative Stress
Coenzyme Q10 and selenium supplementation of senior citizens significantly reduces systemic oxidative stress and inflammation and significantly reduces the risk of death from heart disease. The study dosage was 200 mg Coenzyme Q10 and 200 mcg selenium daily for 48 months.
Heart Failure and Coenzyme Q10 as Adjuvant Therapy
Heart failure – it sounds scary. It is scary, but the medical term heart failure does not mean that your heart stops beating. No, [...]
Combined Coenzyme Q10 and Selenium Supplementation
There is a special biological interrelationship between Coenzyme Q10 and selenium. From a cardiologist’s perspective, there is a theoretical advantage in using both substances to prevent heart disease if the patients’ intakes are sub-optimal [Alehagen & Aaseth 2015a].
Coenzyme Q10 Protects Against Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
Coenzyme Q10 protects. Herewith summaries of 2020-2021 meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of Coenzyme Q10 supplementation for protection against oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. [...]
Coenzyme Q10 and Immune Function
Coenzyme Q10 supplementation, already especially well-regarded for the prevention and adjunctive treatment of heart failure, has biological importance for immune system function [Mortensen 2014; [...]
