CoQ10 Benefits: Five Compelling Reasons Why Women Need CoQ10

Posted on Sep 21, 2009 under Coenzyme Q10 | No Comment

Coenzyme Q10 is important for everyone, but there are some particularly compelling reasons why women need CoQ10's benefits.

A natural substance produced by the body and found in every cell, CoQ10's primary function is producing energy at the cellular level. It is also a powerful antioxidant, and as such it can prevent or repair damage done by free radicals (chemically imbalanced molecules which scavenge and damage nearby cells).

In both respects, the coenzyme is very important to women at all stages of life. Here are five ways in which it can protect female health:

- Protection against heart disease, the number one killer of women. An increasing body of clinical studies show that CoQ10 can significantly improve cardiac function and effectively reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, it has been proven to lower blood pressure, and supplementation prior to heart surgery can reduce free radical damage, lower the incidence of arrythmias, and shorten recovery time.

- May provide protection against certain forms of cancer, including breast cancer Studies dating back to the 1960s show that patients with a variety of cancers, including breast, colon, kidney, and lung cancer, have low levels of CoQ10. Ongoing clinical trials of the effect of the coenzyme supplementation on cancer patients are returning very positive results, with some patients experiencing remission and others using significantly less pain medication. Supplementation has also been shown to mitigate the negative side effects of cancer drugs.

- Reduces risk of pregnancy complications An increasing body of research by organizations all over the world is showing that supplemental CoQ10 may reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy, including high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia.

- Mitigates the symptoms of menopause The body's ability to produce coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, and supplementation could be particularly important during menopause. There is evidence that supplementation could alleviate many of the discomforts associated with menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, and loss of energy.

-Skin protection and repair The aging body's diminshed ability to produce coenzyme Q10 also means that production of collagen, elastin, and other important skin molecules are dimished. In addition, low levels of the coenzyme make the skin more vulnerable to free radical damage, which may manifest as wrinkles and brown age spots.
