CoEnzyme Q10

From heart problems to Huntington' s disease, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 ) could be the key nutrient you need to complete your prevention or recovery plan. Early studies on the potential therapeutic value of CoQ10 focussed on heart disease. The heart with its high-energy needs has the highest concentration of CoQ10. Congestive heart failure (CHF) was one of the first conditions to be studied using CoQ10 preparations. Clinical applications of CoQ10 in the cardiovascular area have included diastolic dysfunction, angina pectoris, hypertension, ventricular arrythmia, mitral valve prolapse and drug induced cardiotoxicity.

CoQ10 has another important function in our body as an anti-oxidant. For example, it helps protect LDL (bad cholesterol) from oxidation, thus reducing the risk of plaque formation, which can lead to cardiovascular disease. CoQ10 also interacts with other antioxidants, thus potentiating the overall effect. As this nutrient tends to be highly insoluble, it is important to look for a product in which the water solubility has been enhanced, facilitating absorption into the blood stream. If it has not been made water soluble, you will have to take a higher dose. Heart Health for Women by Carol Simontacchi, MS, CCN, Kriegel Group Publishers

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Recommended for anyone on prescription drugs for lowering cholesterol, as these drugs generally destroy the body's CoQ10, a vital metabolic activator. Unfortunately, not enough doctors inform their patients that they should supplement with CoQ10 if they are taking prescription medication to lower cholesterol. CNC Vitamost also has an excellent CoQ10 product - click here for more information.

CoQ10 by Enzymatic Therapy "It is unthinkable for me to practice good cardiology without the help of Coenzyme Q10. And, for the thousands of people with cardiac conditions so severe that they need a heart transplant, CoQ10 may be a suitable alternative that not only enhances the quality of life, but extends survival as well." - Stephen Sinatra, MD, F.A.C.C. 60 Softgels - 100 mg - Click on the Bottle To Order

HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS MAY DIFFER FOR WOMEN

While many women will have heart attack symptoms similar to those of men, such as sudden crushing chest pain and shortness of breath; some women will have atypical symptoms such as indigestion-like discomfort, vague chest discomfort or pressure, nausea or back pain. These symptoms are easy to miss, and the bottom line is a woman may not be able to tell if she is having a heart attack, and as such, these symptoms should not be ignored by women or their doctors.

Signs and Signals of a Heart Attack:

1) Vague chest tightness, discomfort, pain or a crushing radiating chest pain;·
2) Heaviness, pressure, squeezing, fullness, burning or pain that may begin in the center of the chest and spread to the neck, jaws, and shoulders;·
3) Unusual pain that spreads down one or both arms;·
4) Shortness of breath, paleness, sweating or weakness;·
5) Nausea, vomiting and/or indigestion;·
6) Feeling of extreme anxiety, fear and/or denial.
