Benefits of COQ10 is a natural potent antioxidant, which protects the mitochondria and the cell membrane against free radicals and oxidative damage. Mitochondria is the power house of the cell and generates energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate) from sugar and fat. Many of the degenerative diseases of aging are referred to as mitochondrial disorders.
The ANTIAGING Institute of California has been an advocate of Anti Aging Vitamins, Anti Aging Supplements, Coenzyme Q10 and Fish oil supplements. Our recommendation is one Softgel of 100 mg CoQ10, for men and women over the age of 40, after a meal, preferably breakfast. Depending on the body’s requirement and with your physician’s suggestions you can increase the daily dose.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has recently proposed a PDQ, a study to provide accurate information on the use of COQ10 Supplements in cancer patients.
PDQ is an online database developed and maintained by the National Cancer Institute. Designed to make the most current, credible, and accurate cancer information available to health professionals and the public, PDQ contains peer-reviewed summaries on cancer treatment, screening, prevention, genetics, complementary and alternative medicine, and supportive care; a registry of cancer clinical trials from around the world; and directories of physicians, professionals who provide genetics services, and organizations that provide cancer care. Most of this information, and more specific information about PDQ, can be found on the NCI's Web site athttp://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq Also called Physician Data Query.
Purpose of This PDQ Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary for health professionals provides comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based information about the use of coenzyme Q10 as a treatment for cancer. The summary is reviewed regularly and updated as necessary by the PDQ Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine Editorial Board.
