CoQMAXe
The beneficial effects of CoQ10 appear to be dose dependent. Recent clinical trials show faster and greater regression of disease with doses (300-600 mg) of CoQ10 daily.
Vitamin E is added to the MAXeGEN formula to enhance the absorption of CoQ10, an oil soluble material. enhanced absorption allows blood levels to normalize and beneficial effects to be seen much faster.
CoQ10 plays a critical role in the production of ATP, the basic energy molecule of all cells. It also functions as an antioxidant in free radical reactions. And unlike many “bargain” supplements, you won’t find Titanium Dioxide and other potentially harmful binders, fillers, and colorants in MAXeGEN’s CoQMAXe!
WHY Take MAXeGEN CoQMAXe?
Here is some interesting research on why MAXeGEN’s CoQMAXe is important:
CoQ10 Deficiency in Patients with Heart Disease, Cancer, Etc.
Research has confirmed deficiencies of CoQ10 in significant numbers of patients with: Heart Disease Hypertension Cancer Periodontal Disease Diabetes Mellitus AIDS and ARC Obesity When supplemental CoQ10 has been given to deficient patients, symptoms have improved; however, in most studies, relatively low doses (30-100mg. daily) have been used.(9) It will be interesting to see what effect higher doses of the nutrient could have on these conditions.
Significant CoQ10 Deficiency Is Seen in Most Heart Patients
|
More CoQ10 is found in the heart tissue than in any other muscle in the body. According to Dr. Karl Folkers, the “father” of CoQ10 re search in the United States, most heart patients show a significant deficiency of CoQ10. Research conducted by Dr. Folkers and confirmed by numerous other researchers around the world has shown remarkable improvement in patients suffering from congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemic disorder and angina pectoris when given CoQ10.(3,8,9)
CoQ10 has also been shown to have a stabilizing effect on heart rhythm. Dr. Folkers believes CoQ10 deficiency may even be a major cause of heart disease and prophylactic use of the nutrient could prevent many human heart problems.(7)
An eight year study (1985-1993) con firmed the success of CoQ10 therapy for 424 cardiac patients with various forms of cardiovascular disease. The dosage range of 75-600 mg. daily was primarily guided by clinical response of patients and increase in blood levels of CoQ10 to 2 mg/ml and higher. Normal is considered to be 2.97 mg/ml.(1)
A distinct connection has been observed between CoQ10 deficiencies and the elevated ratio of sodium to potassium in blood and tis sues of high blood pressure patients. With CoQ10 therapy, the ratio of sodium to potassium de creases. This action is much like the beneficial effect seen when patients re move salt (sodium) from their diets. Supple mental CoQ10 has no effect on normal blood pressure levels.(2,6)
CoQ10 is essential to life. Projections based on autopsies of diseased human hearts and biopsies from healthy hearts and other organ and tis sue samples indicate that, once internal levels of CoQ10 drop below 25% of normal disease is likely to en sue. If levels drop to a 75% deficiency, death
will probably follow as a natural course.(2) CoQ10 resembles vitamin E and vitamin K in chemical structure. Biochemically it functions much like vitamin E in that it participates in antioxidant and free radical reactions. However, CoQ10 has a special biochemical role of major importance it plays a critical role in the production of ATP, the basic energy molecule of all cells.(2)
Bioavailability Is Also a Factor
Bioavailability is also a key factor in effectiveness of CoQ10 supplements. This large fat soluble nutrient that may not be not well absorbed when taken in capsules or tablets produced by standard methods. Absorption can be enhanced by taking the nutrient along with an oily substance. To in crease bioavailability of the active substances, MAXeGEN adds fat soluble vitamin E to its 100 mg. capsules. Enhanced absorption allows blood levels of the nutrient to normalize and beneficial effects to be seen much faster.
Anti-Aging/Life Extension Seen with CoQ
10 Supplementation Al though the body can absorb CoQ10 from the foods we eat or synthesize the nutrient from other co-enzymes (Q1 through Q9), that ability de clines through the normal process of aging as do body levels of CoQ10. Res to ration of youthful CoQ10 levels through supplementation has been shown to correct many diseases associated with the aging process.(2)
Animal studies by Dr. Emile Bliznakov, scientific director of the Lupus Re search Institute in Ridgefield, CT, have shown that mean life span can be in creased by as much as 50% through CoQ10 supplementation. More importantly, the longer living animals remained more active and younger looking with bright eyes, glossy coats and healthy skin. And their more youthful appearance lasted right up to the end of their lives.(2)
Revitalizing the Immune System
Scientist now attach crucial importance to the link between the immune system and aging. A series of ex periments by Bliznakov and others show that CoQ10 supplementation can:(2,5) • Double the immune system’s ability to clear invading organisms from the blood.
• Double antibody levels.
• Protect against chemically induced cancer (fewer and smaller tumors and in creased survival times).
• In crease resistance to viral infections.
• Reduce the toxicity of immuno-suppressive drugs used in cancer treatment.
• Quench free radicals associated with arthritis and other chronic degenerative diseases.
The importance of stimulating the immune system can not be over stated. A strong immune system provides protection against many conditions ranging from colds to cancer.
