CoQ10 - A MIRACLE NEUROPROTECTIVE ANTIOXIDANT
It was indeed a pleasant surprise to open the August 14, 2001, edition of
the prestigious journal Neurology and find the lead editorial discussing the
potential benefits of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (otherwise known as coQ10
or ubiquinone). CoQ10 is a critical nutrient involved in the production of
energy within our cells. The journal reported on two separate studies where
coQ10 was used for neurologic disorders. The first study concerned the
disease Huntington's chorea that causes un controlled movements, dementia
and ultimately death at a young age. The study was randomized and placebo
controlled and it found that coQ10 given at 300 mg twice a day showed a
trend toward slowing the decline of total functional capacity over the 30
month study. Although the results were not dramatic, keep in mind that there
is absolutely no treatment for this devastating disorder. In a second
article on coQ10, two brothers in adolescence who had developed a muscle
disorder had a resolution of symptoms when given 200 to 300 mg of coQ10
daily.
CoQ10 has been widely used in this country for various cardiac conditions,
especially congestive heart failure (CHF). There was a prospective
randomized study published last year that did not show benefit for CHF at a
dose of 200 mg a day although it was clearly pointed out that this may not
hav e been an adequate dose of coQ10. CoQ10 protects LDL cholesterol (the
cholesterol that causes heart disease and stroke if it becomes oxidized)
from oxidizing.
There is currently 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 and virtually all of the employees and
doctors at Vitacost.com take this nutrient. You should be aware that
Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (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 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.
P.S.
Considerando la probabile derivazione latina della parola "Ubiquinone",
sembrerebbe una bella fregatura, in quanto potrebbe indicare una cosa che si
trova dappertutto, cibo compreso; quindi inutile cercarla in farmacia quando
basterebbe un volgare piatto di spaghetti per farne il pieno.
