How CoQ10 Affects Insulin Sensitivity Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes: A study in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences attempted to see if supplementing with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) would improve diabetics’ blood sugar control. Diabetic women were given either 100 mg of CoQ10 or placebo for 12 weeks, and at the end of the study, blood pressure was reduced in the CoQ10-treated group compared to the placebo group. Fasting blood sugar was also lower in those who took CoQ10. Lastly, insulin sensitivity was improved in the CoQ10 group. Special: Don't Buy CoQ10 at a Drugstore. Doctor Explains Why. CoQ10 is a vitamin-like substance that is produced in the body. It is not an essential nutrient unless you are taking a statin medication (or red rice yeast). That’s because statins poison an enzyme that is crucial to producing CoQ10. CoQ10 deficiency is associated with many health problems, and supplementing with CoQ10 has been shown to help with heart failure, Parkinson’s disease, migraine headaches, and statin-induced muscle aches and pains. It’s also is very safe. I routinely have patients take 100 mg to 300 mg per day, and I recommend more CoQ10 when an illness is severe. Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., editor of the Natural Way to Health newsletter, is a board-certified family physician and one of the nation’s foremost practitioners of holistic medicine. In addition to his practice, Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally to physicians and is the author of six very popular books.

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!
