CoQ10: The Miracle Antioxidant
By Allen S. Josephs, M.D.

I
am a big advocate for the use of the antioxidant Coenzyme
Q10
(otherwise known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone). That's why, as
a neurologist, it was a pleasant surprise to open the prestigious
journal Neurology and find the lead editorial discussing
the potential benefits of CoQ10. The journal reported on
two separate studies where CoQ10 was used for neurological
disorders.
Coenzyme Q10 is a critical nutrient involved in the production
of energy within our cells and has been widely used in this
country for various cardiac conditions, especially congestive
heart failure (CHF).Since its discovery,
studies of CoQ10's clinical value has led to widespread
use and substantiation of its benefits, such as treating
heart diseases, increasing energy levels, enhancing the
immune system, reversing gum disease, providing antioxidant
activity, and preventing certain side effects of common
drugs.*
Currently, there's even an exciting study underway with
CoQ10 in patients with early Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's
disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder
in this country (after Alzheimer's), affecting about 1%
of all people over the age of 50. Parkinson's is caused
by the death of brain cells that control movement. It is
a double-blinded, prospective, randomized study using doses
of CoQ10 of 300 mg, 600 mg and 1200 mg daily.
The study will be completed later this year and it may turn
out that high dose co-enzyme Q10 may slow the progression
of Parkinson's disease. There is strong evidence in the
medical literature indicating CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant
and may protect the neurons (brain cells) from dying.*
Coenzyme
Q10
is a miracle nutrient that I take daily and personally recommend
to my patients. The best formulation of CoQ10 that I know
of is produced by Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI).NSI
has introduced a vastly superior delivery technology for
CoQ10. Using softgel technology combined with rice bran
oil and other synergistic nutrients, NSI's CoQ10 delivers
up to 3X higher blood levels (absorption) when
compared to the same CoQ10 in other products. To promote
overall health and protection, dosages in the 10 - 60 mg
range are used. If you have cardiovascular problems, neurological
problems or need immune system support, many doctors recommend
300 - 600 mg per day.
