$CAD 69.99
Co Q10 is an enzyme that is present in each cell of every living thing. It is essential to cells - ability to manufacture adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), which supplies energy. Since the discovery of this potent antioxidant in 1957, ongoing research has demonstrated its role in boosting energy and reducing the risk of developing age related diseases. Co Q10 is found in small amounts in many foods, including beef, sardines, and broccoli, but it is destroyed by cooking. When we're young our bodies manufacture a significant amount of Co Q10, but this production declines with age. Research shows that individuals with heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, and/or hypertension often have low Co Q10 levels, and that Co Q10 supplements can help to alleviate symptoms and improve health.
How it Helps
Heart health
Numerous studies have shown that patients with various heart problems can benefit by taking 100 to 200 mg daily of Co Q10. Heart disease is rated by classes, from Class I (mild) to Class IV (severe). In a study of over 400 patients with heart problems ranging from arrhythmia to ischemic heart failure, participants exhibited such notable improvements in chest pain, fatigue, and palpitations over an average of 18 months that almost 60 percent of patients improved by one class, that almost 30 percent improved by two classes, and that many were able to decrease their heart medications. In a study of over 600 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), participants received either Co Q10 (about 1 mg per pound of body weight) or placebo daily for 12 months. After a year of steady improvements in the Co Q10 group, researchers predicted that daily Co Q10 could reduce the rate of hospital admissions for CHF by 20 percent.
Heart surgery
In patients undergoing heart surgery, those receiving Co Q10 before and after surgery have not only experienced better heart function post-operatively than those receiving placebo, but have recovered from surgery more quickly and with fewer complications.
SISU Co Q10 is produced from natural vegetable sources, including sugar beets, using a proprietary fermentation process.
SISU also distributes Co Q10 Soft Gels in 30 and 60 mg dosages to be taken preventively by those at risk of heart disease, as well as Co Q10 Extra (with flax oil and Vitamin E).
Vegetarians and vegans should look for SISU CoQ10 in vegetarian capsules. As this is supplied in dry form, the vegetarian capsules should be taken with a meal containing fat to optimize absorption.
For individuals who are at risk of developing or who have Parkinson's disease, SISU distributes Co Q10 at high doses (400 mg).
Many individuals taking Co Q10 for its antioxidant and heart health properties experience significant improvement in their periodontal health (such as improvement of gum disease.)
Other studies have suggested that the ability of Co Q10 to increase available energy at a cellular level may support immune health and enhance athletic performance.
It is difficult to imagine anyone with a history of heart disease who could not benefit by taking at least 100mg to 300mg of Co Q10 daily.
