Co Enzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (often just referred to as CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant which protects the body from free radical damage. CoQ10 aids metabolic reactions, such as the complex process of transforming food into ATP, the only type of energy the body can use.
Virtually every cell of the human body contains coenzyme Q10. Most of it is found in the cells where energy is produced - the mitochondria. The heart and liver, because they contain the most mitochondria per cell, have the greatest amount of coenzyme Q10.
CoQ10 has been reported to be low in the blood of people with heart failure, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), and AIDS. Coenzyme Q10 levels are usually lower in older individuals.
50 mg of CoQ10 per day for three weeks has been found to relieve the symptoms of gingivitis.
CoQ10 at 50mg twice per day has been shown to reduce high blood pressure significantly.

Fatty acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats. The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet. These are called essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Fatty acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated – depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.

(The process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a saturated, solid oil, such as margarine).

Many nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids. (The terms omega-3 and omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the fatty acid molecule.) Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

EFAs are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola, sunflower and safflower oils. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil, containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts. Cold saltwater fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.

The most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Omega 6 and omega 3 oils may not be suitable for individuals taking anti-blood clotting drugs such as Warfarin, Coumarin and Heparin.

GLA (Evening Primrose Oil) may not be suitable for people suffering from epilepsy. Fish oils may not be suitable for people allergic to fish. BioCare MicroCell LipoPlex
