An Example Of Nutritional Medicine
Posted: November 29th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »CoQ10 is the short name for the coenzyme Q10, also called
ubiquinone, on which there was a recent good article by Pamela
Weintraub, a senior editor at Discover. In the article, she listed a
number of good reasons for making CoQ10 an important part of your
daily routine.
In recent years, CoQ10 has gained a lot of attention as a way to
slow cardiovascular aging and heart disease. Now, there is research
that suggests therapeutic roles for CoQ10 across a range of other
illnesses, including Parkinson’s, Huntington’, and other
neurodegenerative disorders, as well as some eye conditions,
diabetes and even cancer.
Many of these treatments are experimental, but emerging research
increasingly suggests an essential role for this molecule in
sustaining health.
Recent studies suggest CoQ10 may be vital for maintaining muscle
strength, boosting energy and sharpening cognition. It’s even been
shown to prevent migraines, protect against sun damage and wrinkles
in the skin. In the practice of Integrative Medicine, supplementing
with CoQ10 is a linchpin of wellness for middle aged and older
patients.
Here’s what we know for sure, right now.
1) CoQ10 is essential for generating the cellular energy that keeps
us alive.
2) CoQ10 functions as a powerful antioxidant.
3) CoQ10 stabilizes cell membranes.
Therapeutic use of CoQ10 is best documented for diseases involving
the cardiovascular system and the heart. People with heart and
cardiovascular disease tend to be deficient in ubiquinone, with
lower levels serving as an independent predictor of mortality.
The best candidates for supplemental CoQ10 are people taking statin
drugs. Statins do lower cholesterol…but also inhibit the
production of CoQ10 by your body, as they are both produced by the
same enzyme system There can be serious side effects when you don’t
have enough CoQ10 in your system.
My special pharmaceutical grade CoQ10, Dr. Bill’s Heart Charging
Formula, delivers the goods in the most efficient way possible, as
it has been shown to be many times more absorbable than powdered
CoQ10 and therefore, more bioavailable than other brands on the

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.
With my best wishes for your optimum health,
