CoQ10 Energizes
Your Cells
Research supports the use of Coenzyme
Q10 (CoQ10) supplements to improve the long term health of millions
of people who suffer from degenerative diseases associated with
aging. That's good news for your heart, muscles, brain, liver,
pancreas, kidneys, gums, skin, eyes, immune system and overall
health.
CoQ10 is a fat soluble compound best
known for its vital function in the production of energy inside
cells. It is concentrated in the part of the cell that churns out
energy, the mitochondria. CoQ10 also acts as a powerful
antioxidant.
Your Heart and CoQ10 Cardiologist,
congestive heart failure (CHF) researcher and CoQ10 expert, Peter
H. Langsjoen, MD, FACC says: "The heart muscle uses more energy
than any other organ in our bodies." Skeletal muscle, the brain,
the liver and gum tissue also consume a lot of energy. These organs
and tissues require maximum amounts of CoQ10 for the greatest
possible energy production for the best health.
What causes CoQ10 deficiency? Age is a
major factor in the development of CoQ10 deficiency. Moreover,
elderly people who take statin drugs (used to treat high
cholesterol levels) are at an even higher risk of the devastating
effects of CoQ10 deficiency. Tissue concentration of CoQ10 drops
dramatically with age. One study found:
-
Heart muscle wall 72 percent decrease
in CoQ10
-
Skin (epidermis) 75 percent
decrease
-
Adrenal Gland 47 percent
decrease
-
Kidneys 35 percent decrease
-
Liver 10 percent decrease
Should you supplement with CoQ10? After
24 years of treating patients with congestive heart failure, Dr.
Langsjoen is convinced middle aged people should supplement CoQ10
as a preventative measure.
He says it is important to tell your
doctor if you are taking CoQ10 because it has been found to enhance
the effectiveness of some medications resulting in the need for
lower doses. Dr. Langsjoen has seen patients with congestive heart
failure who supplement with CoQ10 experience a "gradual lessening
of the requirement for many cardiac medications that occurs with
the improvement in heart muscle function." He also reports no known
side effects or drug interactions among patients who supplement
with CoQ10. By using supplemental CoQ10 preventively and
therapeutically, a growing body of research shows that you can
avoid the long term adverse effects of decreased cellular energy
production and impaired antioxidant function.
ALTRUM Coenzyme Q10 (DEQ) provides 30
mg per capsule of CoQ10, a proven cell energizer to help strengthen
the heart, support the immune system, keep gums healthy and give
you renewed vitality and energy. *
ALTRUM CoQ10 is made from the best form
of CoQ10 available. It’s the highest quality source derived
from fermentation and consists only of the natural trans
configuration, the same as produced by humans. The ALTRUM CoQ10 is
a completely natural liposomic fat soluble delivery system
clinically shown to increase CoQ10 levels up to four times and is
three to four times better absorbed than chewable CoQ10
tablets.
Some therapeutic forms of CoQ10
advertise that theirs is better because they process the CoQ10 into
micro beadlets making it watersolubleto get it into the bloodstream
quickly. However, there is a cost to this type of processing: the
CoQ10 is not retained by the body as effectively. This spikes the
CoQ10 up in the blood for three to six hours, but then drops off
quicker than the fat soluble Liposomic Q Sorb form of CoQ10 in
ALTRUM.

The Liposomic Q Sorb CoQ10 used in
the ALTRUM CoQ10 is fat soluble. It is best for daily use because
it acts like a “time release” CoQ10 and is delivered
like food. Even though it takes longer to assimilate, it persists
in the bloodstream for more than 24 hours. This insures there is
always enough for the heart and other vital organs. *

The
Natural Products Association (formerly the National Nutritional
Foods Association or NNFA) has certified ALTRUM facilities as
following Good Manufacturing Practices. The facilities where ALTRUM
Nutritional Supplements are produced are regularly spot inspected
and audited by the federal and state FDAs and are GMP certified by
state agricultural authorities and are Kosher. All of the products
ALTRUM produces are considered natural food products.
