CoQ 10 300 Overview

CoQ10 is a lipid-soluble antioxidant which is found in every cell in the body. CoQ10 is abundant in the mitochondrial membrane and plays an important role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule of chemical energy upon which all cellular functions depend. The synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria is a multi-step series of biochemical reactions called the electron transport chain. As a coenzyme, CoQ10 is required for several enzymatic reactions required to produce cellular energy and to protect the body against free radicals produced during this process. To maintain energy production, mitochondrial CoQ10 is continuously recycled from ubiquinone, its ATP production state, to ubiquinol, its antioxidant, free radical scavenging state. After the age of 35 to 40 years, endogenous synthesis of CoQ10 begins to decline. CoQ10, an essential component of cellular energy production, has been shown to extend cell life and benefit high-energy requiring systems including the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems. Supplementation with a highly concentrated, oil-based CoQ10 enables faster recovery of CoQ10 levels for those that have increased CoQ10 requirements including: those with drug-induced depletion, increasing age, or increased tissue demands. The safety of CoQ10 at high doses has been tested in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The findings in this study showed that CoQ10 was well tolerated and safe at a high intake (900 mg/day).

Finding the Right CoQ-10

The right CoQ 10 300 is important for effective results. It is well established that CoQ 10 300 is poorly absorbed. To improve absorption, CoQ 10 300 must be dissolved and transported with a lipid carrier. CoQ 10 300 by Kairos Performance, Inc. is delivered as a highly concentrated oil-based soft gel with higher absorption than similar products on the market.

Ubiquinone (CoQ 10 300)

CoQ 10 300 plays a critical role in maintaining the body's energy production, as well supporting antioxidant mechanisms. CoQ 10 300 is vital for supporting immune, cardiovascular function and neurological health.

The body's ability to produce and metabolize CoQ 10 300 has been reported to decrease with age. CoQ 10 300 deficiency may be caused by insufficient dietary intake of CoQ 10 300, impairment in CoQ 10 300 biosynthesis, as well as excessive utilization of CoQ 10 300 by the body to protect against gene mutations and oxidative stress. The result is less cellular energy (ATP production), compromised conversion of CoQ 10 300 to the reduced form, ubiquinol, lowering protection against cellular damage and oxidation.

CoQ10 Depletion

The body's ability to produce and metabolize CoQ10 has been reported to decrease with age. CoQ10 deficiency may be caused by insufficient dietary intake of CoQ10, impairment in CoQ10 production, drug-induced CoQ10 depletion, gene mutations, and oxidative stress. HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme required for the synthesis of cholesterol and CoQ10. Cholesterol lowering medications inhibit this enzyme in order to reduce cholesterol synthesis but may also simultaneously deplete CoQ10 status. Thirteen controlled studies conducted between 1990-2004 demonstrated significant CoQ10 depletion secondary to use of statin medications used to lower cholesterol levels. These studies demonstrated a range of 19-54% decrease in CoQ10 levels in patients on statin therapy. In the event of CoQ10 depletion, supplementation can improve CoQ10 status and help maintain optimal levels in the body.

Antioxidant Protection

Oxidative stress is a condition that occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and the antioxidants required to neutralize them, leading to oxidative damage in the body. The extent of oxidative stress depends on the rate at which free radicals are generated, the level of antioxidant reserves, and the rate of repair of cellular and tissue damage that has occurred. This process has a significant impact on the body's aging process. In its role in electron transport, CoQ10 continuously goes through an oxidation-reduction cycle in order to neutralize free radicals and provide significant protection against toxic oxidative reactions in the body.

Cardiovascular Health

CoQ10 is important for all energy-dependent processes, and is especially helpful in strengthening contraction of the heart muscle. CoQ10 is also important for protection against free radical damage to the arterial vessels. In a double-blind, cross-over trial 19 patients received 100 mg CoQ10/day or placebo for 12 weeks. Compared with placebo, patients receiving CoQ10 demonstrated significant support of cardiac function and increased tolerance for physical activity. In another study, 109 patients received an average dose of 225 mg of CoQ10 per day. After a mean treatment period of 4.4 months, CoQ10 helped in maintaining healthy blood pres- sure levels in more than half of the patients. CoQ10 has been shown to be a preventive factor for reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation- a major factor for supporting healthy cholesterol levels.

Blood Sugar Balance

The electron transport chain, a biochemical pathway in which CoQ10 plays a major role, significantly impacts carbohydrate metabolism. CoQ10 has been shown to support healthy blood sugar metabolism. In a study using 39 volunteers, 39 subjects received 120mg of a CoQ10 analog for 2-18 weeks. Fasting blood sugar levels were maintained in the normal range, along with a 30% decrease of ketone bodies in 59% of patients- an indicator of healthy blood sugar metabolism.

Neurological Health

Neurons are characterized by high rates of metabolic activity and the need to respond quickly to energy demanding fluctuations in the brain. Mitochondrial alterations, leading to reduced ATP production, can promote neuronal dysfunction and degeneration via increased production of reactive oxygen species in the central nervous system. As an effective carrier with strong antioxidant properties, CoQ10 has been shown to support neurological health.
