CoQ10 - For the Health of Your Heart
. . . many heart conditions have been reversed or significantly improved
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re making February “heart health” month at Beyond Health, and there’s no better supplement for heart health than Coenzyme Q10, better known as CoQ10. If you have heart problems, you would do well to take 200-300 mg a day of this wonderful supplement. This is especially true if you’re taking statin drugs, because statins deplete the body of CoQ10. Although our bodies make CoQ10, CoQ10 production drops off more and more with age. By the age of 50, anyone with a chronic disease or experiencing energy problems should start taking at least 100 mg a day.
CoQ10’s main function lies in the production of energy, so it’s needed everywhere in the body, but the need is greatest in our most metabolically active tissues, such as heart muscle. What most forms of heart disease have in common is low energy production in the heart muscle cells, leading to a condition called “energy-starved heart.” Many heart conditions have been reversed or significantly improved with 200-300 mg of CoQ10 a day. Studies have shown CoQ10 helpful with angina, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, congestive heart failure and other types of heart failure, hypertension, and both the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
In a recent study done with a group of middle-aged firefighters, all with mild to moderate 
amounts of atherosclerotic plaque in their arteries, CoQ10 and garlic together were able to reduce the progression of the disease almost 4 times better than a placebo. They also significantly reduced a measure of inflammation especially relevant to heart disease, C-reactive protein (CRP).
The men had their plaque and CRP measured. Then some were given a daily regimen of 1,200 mg of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract (the brand we sell at Beyond Health) and 120 mg of CoQ10 while others were given a placebo for one year. When plaque and CRP were measured at the end of the year, plaque progression was 4 times lower in the group taking the CoQ10 and garlic.
Imagine what you could do if you combined 200-300 mg CoQ10 and garlic with the Beyond Health lifestyle and a complete supplement program including other heart-health champions like vitamins C and E, fish oil, B-12/Folate, Acetyl L-carnitine, and Pro Rite!
There’s been a lot of confusion about CoQ10, with everyone claiming to have the best. Well, the best CoQ10 begins with a very pure CoQ10. It then needs to be mixed with the right oil for maximum absorption, micellized in the right way, and energized with co-factors that help it get absorbed not only into the bloodstream but into the cells and then into the mitochondria – tiny energy factories within the cells. Because making a supplement the best possible way is expensive, not many choose to do it. We do. Making supplements as they should be made, for the benefit of your health, is why we’re in business.
