What does CoQ10 specifically do to support ones health?
85194
As with all supplements and nutrition, everyone is different and you should do your own research on CoQ10, but I take it because I'm vegan so may not get enough of this through my diet and some research seems to show that it helps with recovery and health from cancer and I am a survivor so I decided to take this supplement, among other things. I think getting nutrition through your diet is better, however, so this is one of only a few supplements I take. Here's a good link that gives a pretty fair summary. http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/heart-failure/tc/coenzyme-q10-topic-overview

So there are three main functions to support cardiovascular health. The first is that CoQ10 is a naturally occurring oil based vitamin like substance that participates in the ATP formation in the mitochondria (fancy way of saying it helps with cellular energy). The second action links the first and third action in that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also acts like an antioxidant in helping eliminate free radicals. The third action is the most profound for cardiovascular health. CoQ10 'prevents oxidation of LDL' which means it helps cut down on the formation of LDL. LDL stands for low density lipoprotein and since it acts as a transport molecule for fat stores to the arterial wall it can lead to atherosclerosis and hypertension. In a 362 pt meta analysis CoQ10 was found to lower systolic BP by 17 pts and Diastolic BP by 10 pts. Whenever you look at vitamins or medications you have to look at the cost/benefit. Obviously there is the cost of the medication, but more importantly CoQ10 has not been shown to have detrimental health effects, and the benefit is possibly astronomical. Hope this helps.

I have noticed how much limber my joints are. 69 years and was hurting a bit. This product which I have been taking for about 90 days now seems to have made life a little more "bouncy". Hope this helps

Go to the Mayo Clinic's page for more info. "Symptoms of deficiency include heart failure, high blood pressure, and chest pain." They've also found that it also helps with gum issues that develop as you age (dosage 200 mg / day to help with that) as well as a number of other aging problems, like macular degeneration, and cholesterol. http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/coenzyme-q10/evidence/hrb-20059019

They purchase it from the Kaneka corporation, which is the sole vender for this compound. Kaneka claims to use a yeast fermentation process to produce their CoQ10; I don't know the precise details of what they need to do to keep the Ubiquinol form stable; you would probably need to review the patent literature to get this information.

Mega is the reduced (oxidized) form of CoQ10 that your body turns regular CoQ10 into. It's more expensive, but some people feel strongly that it's better absorbed and utilized since your body doesn't have to convert it. As with most supplement claims, it's highly debatable. I have read that your body needs both forms and most people convert it as needed.You'd probably be fine with the Ultra version, but understand this now comes with 150 IU of synthetic Vitamin E. Many feel this is much less healthy than "natural" Vitamin E (one "alpha" type molecule) and Mixed tocopherols (three other naturally occurring forms of Vitamin E).

Hardly anything. ProArgi is wonderful in any combination or flavor, etc will be sure to fit your needs as it has mine. I would also recommend check with your doctor before taking any supplement dependent on your condition.

I believe it is an oil, so no, this probably difuses, dilutes, but this form is better absorbed. I really like this one and would recommend it it you have already been using CoQ10. Kirkland brand is good. I have been taking CoQ10 for years and I really like it. It is a good source of energy, it helps in tissues like your heart, eyes and gums. I like the liquid gel tabs. I have tried the capsules, but I don't think they are quite as well absorbed. Hope that helps you. The capsule with fine grains are water soluble.

I am not a doctor, but I believe it is to aid in digestion. I am very pleased with this product! I have taken it for 3 years now and reversed my bone problem.

CoQ10 comes in two forms. This is the ubiquinone form, NOT ubiquinol. I think you are looking for this. Nature's Bounty Ubiquinol, 40 Softgels, 100 mgAlso take a look through https://ubiquinol.org/blog/coq10-ubiquinol-label-confusion

From what I've read, supplements labeled as Co-Q10 are usually ubiquinone. Aside from that, I just don't know, but we've been taking either the NOW or Doctor's Best for a long time with no apparent side affects.

Sorry, I have thrown the bottle away and I don't know the answer to that. I am no longer using this product, as my doctor recommends Qunol CoQ 10 for best absorption. It would be safest for you to contact the manufacturer of either product and ask about those ingredients.

According to the label, the CoQ10 is vegan, and is gluten & dairy free. It has candelilla wax, but no beeswax.

Yes it does. If you look on the label under the Cardiovascular Blend (which is on the right rear side of the supplement facts on the bottle), the last item is Coenzyme Q10/ Ubiquinone which is CoQ10. Hope this helps

All the info I know is what's on the bottle of COQ 10 and that it was made in the USA. If you read the bottle you will know everything I know about it. I do believe it's the best C0Q 10 out there in my opinion. The photos of this bottle can show you all you need to know. I take it for my heart because my cardiologist suggested this brand of vitamins .

The photo previously shown with the enhanced mitochondrial support was incorrect. This offer is for the COQ10 without the mitochondrial support.Amazon corrected the photo to match the title.

Sorry, but I do not use the Ortho Molecular Co-Q10 so I am not able to answer your question. I use Nature Made.

Probably because it uses ubiquinone (oxidized ubiquinol.) http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/coq10-ubiquinone-ubiquinol-whats-the-difference.htm

I think you mean bowel support. This product uses probiotics, aka good bacteria, to encourage bowel health and to keep things working like they should. Pretty simple.
