Can the cofactor Coenzyme Q10 lower inflammation?
Yes, by restoring cellular energy. When cell energy is low, you cannot replace needed cells fast enough for proper repair. A slowing in repair leads to inflammation. So, if Coenzyme Q10 were to speed up cell energy, you would repair faster stopping inflammation.
The slower we heal, the more likely the immune system can attack the weak area, creating an inflammation pattern. This is the beginning of autoimmune or similar inflammation patterns.
For example, someone had a physically demanding work experience, and their joints were constantly being strained. These areas require high amounts of energy to replace the worn cells at a quick rate. If cell energy is down, these high energy demand areas would become weak from a lack of new cells.
The source of joint pain is the lack of new cell creation in the joints, which are areas of higher activity in the body. Because the coenzyme Q10 levels have dropped, the joints cannot replace needed cells fast enough.
Cells in our body create coenzyme Q10, with the heart muscle having the most. It helps cells make energy. Then the brain and muscles and joints because of their high use.
The production of energy in our cells relies on all the nutrients found in a multivitamin, especially magnesium and vitamin C. Besides nutrients, the energy producers in the cell, called mitochondria, are very sensitive to too much hydrogen. Two hydrogens with an oxygen make water, and this slows down cell energy production.
This is why we test the first morning’s urine pH to see if you are acidic.
As we get older, we make less coenzyme Q10. It’s important for heart and brain health.
We use Perque Coenzyme Q10 because it is mixed with rice bran oil to ensure the highest rate of absorption. See the attachment – Perque Mito Guard below.
Also, Perque tests its products, ensuring 100% pure coenzyme Q10.
Statins lower coenzyme Q10.
A. If a medical doctor has prescribed you a statin, continue taking it and do not stop; consult your medical doctor.
B. You might want to consider adding Coenzyme Q10 Perque Mito Guard to your daily regimen.
A typical scenario is someone on a prescription for statins who is now experiencing increasing levels of joint and muscle pain.
Several years ago, I had lunch with the national sales director of a supplement company that is registered as a pharmaceutical with the FDA. He was telling me about how strict they were in testing ingredients (Perque does the same thing for testing). However, we use Perque’s CoQ10 – Mito Guard because it contains rice bran oil for better absorption, unlike this company.
They had purchased coenzyme Q10 and were testing it for purity. On testing, Coenzyme Q10 looks like a double camel’s hump, and it showed the shipment to be an exact match. But an overview test, looking from the top down, should look like a black widow spider. A small round front and a large second section, like a drawing of a pond, a small end and a big one. What they saw was two circles glued together.
Heating two non-vitamin compounds together produced the false double camel’s hump,
If things are not working as they should, there’s usually a reason.
You can test coenzyme Q10. Attached is a nutrient panel. Vibrant_Nutrient Panel
If you want a pH kit email back and I will mail one to you, it’s free. The below article discusses heart muscle increase in strength from taking conenzyme Q10.
