Background Information:
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like compound found in virtually every cell in the body—and is essential to producing the energy needed to keep trillions of cells running smoothly. This cellular energy runs many of our body’s key systems including the circulatory, immune, and endocrine systems.
Not getting enough of the right foods, aging, and using oral contraceptives and statin drugs can deplete your body of the all-important coenzyme Q10—leaving you without the energy to fight aging, heart problems, dementia, and cancer.
Fortunately, coenzyme Q10 can be created in all the tissues in the body which makes this the primary source of coenzyme Q10. But this complex process requires at least eight vitamins, several trace minerals, and the amino acid tyrosine. If the body does not get these critical nutrients from the diet, it will be unable to produce the amounts of coenzyme Q10 needed for optimal health.
Aging is another factor in coenzyme Q10 deficiency. At the age of 20, our coenzyme Q10 levels peak. By the age of 40, the body has 40% less coenzyme Q10 than at age 20 and 60% less at age 70.
In addition, statin drugs that are used to lower cholesterol come with side effects that deplete the body of necessary coenzyme Q10. While these drugs effectively block cholesterol production, they also block coenzyme Q10 production leaving the body deficient in this important compound. Birth control pills can also negatively impact coenzyme Q10 levels.
Since 1957, when coenzyme Q10 was first isolated, thousands of studies have shown proven health benefits when using coenzyme Q10—especially cardiovascular benefits. According to Stephen T. Sinatra, MD: "More than 30,000 citations on the Internet alone cite the proven benefits of coenzyme Q10 in treating a wide variety of degenerative diseases, especially clinical cardiac conditions including congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, angina (“heart cramp”), and arrhythmia, as well as other cardiological situations."
Other studies suggest that coenzyme Q10 may be useful for hypertension, improve renal function in those with chronic kidney failure, decrease the need for dialysis, and elevate coenzyme Q10 levels—as well as antioxidant protection—in cells and tissues.
Jigsaw Health CoQ10 features the most absorbable coenzyme Q10 on the market today. Its patented BioSolv technology greatly reduces particle size for better absorption in the bloodstream—which effectively raises coenzyme Q10 serum levels over other coenzyme Q10 formulas in just three weeks.
Because most people do not get enough nutrients in their diets to create coenzyme Q10, many healthcare professionals recommend using coenzyme Q10 supplements especially as you age. Jigsaw Health CoQ10 can help you get the coenzyme Q10 you need to keep your cells—and critical bodily systems—running smoothly.
