Bio-Quinone Q10 Phyto™ 60 Capsules x 100 mg

Ubiquinone CoQ10 is Pharma Nord’s Bio-Quinone Q10 Vegan capsule, containing coenzyme Q10 in the form of ubiquinone in its natural identical form. This unique preparation delivers coenzyme Q10 in the active formula that is present in over 90 scientific studies to provide a consistently high level of bioavailability.

Q10 is the sparking plug for all our cells, creating the substance ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate), which is the cells most important source of energy for all our biological functions such as physical and mental activity and those dozens of energy-needing systems like Digestive and organ activities.Q10 is a vital coenzyme for our body’s metabolism. All cells in our body need Q10 to generate energy, particularly the cells of the muscular tissues. In most circumstances, the human body can produce enough coenzyme Q10 to cover our energy requirements, however, stress and modem lifestyles often deplete our energy levels leaving us tired and fatigued by the end of the day.

Supplementation with coenzyme Q10 can help replenish depleted energy levels.

At 80 your heart, lungs and spleen contain 45% less Q10 than at birth. Our liver convert Q10 from our food, but as we get older, our liver becomes less efficient due to lack of Q10.Q10 has shown, since it was discovered about 40 years ago, to be a very effective therapy for cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, hypertension, angina, ventricular arrhythmia, cancer, periodontal disease, chronic fatigue, muscular dystrophy, immune system stimulation and for use as a general energy booster. Healthy people in their 90’s have shown naturally to have high quantities of Q10, whereas people with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, are very low in Q10. An adult body contains only 2000 mg of Q10. Death may occur somewhere between a deficiency of 65% to 75%. Most people with cancer have, at the time of diagnosis, a deficiency below 70% causing a weak immune system, which cannot destroy cancer cells. The highest concentration of Q10 in the human body is found in the muscle cells of the heart, so it is not surprising that Q10 has been found to benefit those with failing hearts. Q10 does not replace lifesaving heart drugs, but it does compliment their action, and often allows drug dosage to be reduced and there is therefore less chance of adverse reactions from the drugs.

Reduce death from heart problems by half as you get older

According to a new Swedish five year trial, elderly people can reduce by over 50%, the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by taking Q10 and Selenium. The trial was reported in the respected ‘International Journal of Cardiology’, where the Heart Centre’s at Linkoping University & Karolinska University Hospital tested 443 men and women in the age group 70-88. Half took 200 mg Q10 and 200 mcg Selenium per day, the other half were given identical looking ‘dummy’ pills.Apart from a marked reduction in the death rate from cardiovascular disease in the group taking Q10 and Selenium, it also strengthened their hearts and showed a lower level of NT-pro BNP. An increase in this substance in the blood is a sign that the heart is working under pressure. Also an echo-cardiograph measurement demonstrated that the heart muscles worked far better with the group taking Q10 and Selenium.At Copenhagen’s famous Rigshospitalet University Hospital, they found over a long period, that patients brought in with heart problems, who were given Q10, often intravenously, together with a generally well known heart medicine, their hearts pump better, they were less breathless and tired, reported heart specialist Svend Aage Morlensen, who has carried out extensive research into Q10. Tests show that it extends life, lowers blood pressure and blood sugar and prevent arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

“I hardly ever find anybody dying of heart disease before their mid nineties, unless they were very low in Q10.”

Rolf Gordon

Liver

Over 40,000 people die of liver disease in the UK every year, nearly all were low in Q10. Your liver converts the lower Co-enzyme Qs into Q10, which can be absorbed by your body. Your liver needs Q10 to operate 100%.Unfortunately, Geopathic Stress weakens your liver, so it cannot produce enough Q10, which it needs to function normally, so that it can produce enough Q10. We also produce less Q10 as we get older.Healthy People in their 90s, have been found to have a high level of Q10, because they have a healthy liver, which produces enough Q10.StatinsIt is vital to take extra Q10 if you are taking statins for lowering cholesterol, as you are depleting your body of Q10, because they share the same biosynthesized pathway in your liver.An article in The Daily Mail suggested that ‘Half of women and 43% of men are taking a drug prescribed by their doctor’ And from that statistic, statins are most commonly prescribed. The problem with statins is that, besides blocking the synthesis of cholesterol, they interfere with other enzymatic processes, including the synthesis of Q10. Side effects can include muscle aches and fatigue. Many consumers therefore look for natural alternatives to lower their cholesterol!

High Cholesterol

By taking statins for lowering cholesterol you are depleting your body of Q10, as they share the same biosynthetic pathway in the liver, therefore increasing the risk of coronary heart failure. It is therefore vital you take Q10 if you are taking statins. Better take Lecithin, which is a natural product that you can get at most health shops. Taking a spoonful, morning and night has shown to be as successful as statins, with no side-effects and you have the added advantage of getting the full benefit of Q10 your body produces. Statins can also cause too low a cholesterol count, if not checked regularly, which can be very dangerous. 250 million people are now on statins worldwide! It has become normal, rather than unusual, for people over 50 to take this potentially dangerous drug.

Dental Problems

Extra Q10 can prevent periodontal diseases, which affects the tissues that support the teeth and gums, accounting for more lost teeth in adulthood than any other dental problems. This condition can cause facial disfigurement, pain, an inability to eat, leading to malnutrition and the anti-social stigma of profound halitosis (bad breath). Up to 9 out of 10 adults in the West will suffer some form of periodontal disease in their later lives and, as a result, 1 in 4 of them will loose all their teeth before the age of 60. This problem can usually be put right within months, by taking about 200 mg of Q10 per day.

Soft Gums

Extra Q10, has shown to prevent periodontal diseases, which affect the tissues in the gums that support your teeth. Soft gums, the largest cause of losing teeth, can usually be corrected within months, by taking about 200 mg of Q10 per day.

Muscular Dystrophy

Patients in scientific tests, treated with 100 mg/day Q10, 50% showed a significant improvement in increased exercise tolerance, reduced leg pain, better control of leg function and less fatigue.

Angina Heart Disease

Three double-blind controlled studies of patients with stable angina pectorals, have documented a positive effect on symptoms after treatment with coenzyme Q10. Research has shown that about 40% of people with angina, feel an improvement within 14 days of taking Q10. It appears that coenzyme Q10 allows the myocardium (=heart muscle) to better utilise the available oxygen.

Blood Pressure

Several studies have shown that any anti-hypersensitive effect is achieved with supplementation with Q10. On average, systolic blood pressure is reduced by 12-19 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 2-3 mm Hg when patients are treated with 100-200 mg of Q10 per day.

Athletes

Scientific studies conducted on top athletes, clearly show that Q10 supplements improve energy and endurance, while helping the athletes recuperate considerably faster after bouts of competition or hard training.

Have you read Pharma Nord’s Q10 book?

“We humans would not be able to breathe, move, or even think without the presence of Q10 is an essential co-enzyme that is involved in the energy turnover of all cells in the body. In fact, cells depend on Q10 in the same way a petrol engine depends on its spark plugs to initiate the entire combustion process. Without spark plugs, even the most sophisticated car would not be able to move an inch, and without Q10, a human being would have only moments to live.”
