NutriStart Liposomal COQ10 180 ml 30 Servings

As we age our CoQ10 levels decrease, and finding a bioavailable supplement can be challenging since this nutrient has certain specific requirements for proper assimilation.

From a technical perspective, the nutrient Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, or ubiquinone) “is an electron carrier of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (electron transport chain) with antioxidant properties”.

From the layman’s perspective, CoQ10 is something many of us take to protect our hearts and to keep our blood pressure stable, or to compensate for being on statin drugs. However, when we appreciate that CoQ10 is a family of fat-soluble substances ubiquitous in animals (thus the name ubiquinone), and found in all our respiring cells (primarily in the mitochondria), we begin to appreciate that this essential nutrient may have many more benefits than the layman may assume.

Liposomal technology was pioneered for pharmaceutical drugs, and the improved therapeutic value and greatly increased delivery of liposome-encapsulated drugs and nutrients has been consistently validated scientifically. Until recently, liposomes were used exclusively by the drug industry, but now liposomes are beginning to be used for the specific oral delivery of certain dietary and nutritional supplements.

Benefits

• In those mitochondrial cells, CoQ10 “participates in aerobic cellular respiration, which generates energy in the form of ATP.Ninety-five percent of the human body's energy is generated this way.Organs with the highest energy requirements—such as theheart, liver, and kidney—have the highest CoQ10 concentrations”.

• The presence of CoQ10 in mitochondrial cells (and in other cellular membranes, and in blood plasma), along with its powerful antioxidant properties, explains why clinical studies have verified its necessity for preventing a host of diseases.

• For example, “diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia, muscular and cardiovascular diseaseshave been associated with low CoQ10 levels”. More recently, studies have discovered that CoQ10 also “affects expression of genes involved in human cell signaling, metabolism and transport”.

• If all that weren’t enough, studies are continually finding new applications for this cellular powerhouse.

For Example:

• “Twelve weeks treatment with ubiquinone improves clinical outcomes and nerve conduction parameters of diabetic polyneuropathy.”
• 
  (Polyneuropathy is the simultaneous malfunction of many peripheral nerves throughout the body.)
  “Alterations of CoQ10 content were also shown in conditions associated with male infertility…and the administration of CoQ10 may result in improvement in sperm function.”
• 
  “CoQ10 and its analogue, idebenone, have been widely used in the treatment of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders. These compounds could potentially play a role in the treatment of mitochondrial disorders, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Friedreich's ataxia, and other conditions which have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.”

As mentioned above, our CoQ10 levels are said to decline with age, but levels may also be reduced to the point where they are possible factors in disease states by genetic malfunctions, cancer, mitochondrial diseases, and states of extreme oxidative stress, and as a byproduct of using cholesterol-reducing statin drugs.
