Seniors Benefit From High CoQ10 By Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes: Scientists looked at men and women ages 65 and older in order to study the relationship between CoQ10 blood levels and physical activity and capacity in elderly people. The study, which appeared in the journal Antioxidants, reported that high CoQ10 levels were directly associated with less cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, high CoQ10 levels were found in people with greater physical activity and stronger muscle capacity. CoQ10 also showed a strong inverse relationship to sedentarism and frailty. Stronger correlations were found in women. Special: Dr. Crandall Saved His Own Heart With This CoQ10 is a vitamin-like molecule that is actually produced in the body. It is made downstream from cholesterol. Therefore, we need an adequate amount of cholesterol in the body in order to manufacture CoQ10. Drugs that lower cholesterol levels are directly associated with low levels of CoQ10, which is concentrated in the muscles, where it is needed for cell metabolism and energy production. Specifically, it is found in the mitochondria of cells, which produce energy. Deficiency of CoQ10 leads to low energy production and fatigue. Statin drugs poison an enzyme called HmG-CoA reductase. When a statin is taken, the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme is poisoned and cholesterol production declines. Downstream metabolites from cholesterol, such as CoQ10, also decline. As CoQ10 levels fall with statin use, CoQ10 will decline in mitochondria, leading to low energy production and fatigue. As CoQ10 levels in muscles fall, this will manifest as aching muscles. It should be no surprise that two of the most common side effects from taking statins are fatigue and muscle pain. Statins lower the risk for nonfatal strokes and heart attacks by about 1% for those who have no cardiac history and by approximately 3% for patients with a cardiac history. When the side effect profile of statins is reviewed, I simply cannot understand why so many people are taking statin medications. More information about statins can be found in my book, The Statin Disaster.

| Many people have heard of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), but don’t really understand the crucial role it plays in health.
CoQ10 is a natural, vitamin-like substance found in body cells, particularly in organs with higher energy needs — like the heart. All cells contain mitochondria, microscopic “powerhouses” that generate life-giving energy. CoQ10 plays a vital part in this energy production process. In addition to enhancing cellular energy production in the heart, brain, and other organs, CoQ10 provides additional benefits. During energy production, cell-damaging free radicals are formed as byproducts of this oxidation process. And as a powerful antioxidant, CoQ10 helps counteract this oxidative stress, further supporting the health of cells in the heart and other organs. Research also indicates that CoQ10 helps promote the health of the endothelium, or inner lining of blood vessels. This is important to cardiovascular health because it supports normal circulation and balanced inflammation. Aging Adults & Statin Users Need More CoQ10 Unfortunately, CoQ10 levels decrease with age. In fact, CoQ10 levels are highest in the first 20 years of life, but decline gradually after that point. By the fourth decade, CoQ10 levels may have dropped as much as 30%. Statin drugs used for cholesterol also deplete natural levels of CoQ10. Because of these issues, renowned cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall decided to work with experts at the premium supplement company Medix Select to develop the advanced formula COTREXIN® with CoQ10. Why Most CoQ10 Is a Waste of Money Many traditional CoQ10 supplements provide less than 200 mg a day of CoQ10, so they are unlikely to deliver significant cardiac benefits. In addition, typical CoQ10 is very poorly absorbed by the body. The reason most CoQ10 is poorly absorbed is because it is insoluble in water and soluble in oil. With the body being up to 60% water, most of the CoQ10 doesn’t dissolve and is excreted in the urine — literally flushed away. That’s why Dr. Crandall added BioPerine® black pepper fruit extract to COTREXIN. This patented nutrient increases absorption levels and bioavailability by up to 30%. And unlike many typical supplements, COTREXIN offers a full 200 mg of CoQ10 per daily serving of two capsules. But Dr. Crandall didn’t stop there. He added another ingredient to the COTREXIN formula. COTREXIN Includes Omega-3s for COTREXIN contains 850 mg of omega-3s per daily serving, with 650 mg of EPA and 100 mg of DHA. Scientific research has shown that omega-3s found in fish oil, including EPA and DHA, promote heart health and normal cholesterol. Omega-3s also promote normal inflammatory balance. In addition, DHA supports brain health. The Dynamic Duo for Powerful COTREXIN with CoQ10 and omega-3s makes it easy to help support the entire cardiovascular system. Try COTREXIN today!
