Peter Langsjoen, MD discusses why we should take Coenzyme Q10

[Vince]

If your are on Statins I believe that Vit k and Selenium should be taken as well.

Even if you're not on a statin, that's a good remediation.

Vit. K reduces the effect of plavix. Just a heads up

 

[Will Brink]

Every man on TRT should be on Coenzyme Q-10. The data on heart muscle protection is very strong.

I take 200-300mg per day of ubiquinol via LEF. It's not cheap, but seems one of the important ones, especially for aging adults and a must for anyone on statins.

What brand do you recommend?

Every man on TRT should be on Coenzyme Q-10. The data on heart muscle protection is very strong.

 

[Vince]

What brand do you recommend?

I recommend Jarrow brand, I believe in past postings that's what Nelson also uses. I use jarrow brand because of the better taste, the tab should be chewed not swallowed, let your saliva starts digesting it.

 

[Vince]

Vit. K reduces the effect of plavix. Just a heads up

Vitamin k does not interfere with Plavix it interferes with Warfarin.

 

[Nelson Vergel]

What brand do you recommend?

Most brands are good. I take capsules that have 400 mg (I take one with breakfast)

Coenzyme Q10

After heart attack, Q10 makes the blood vessels healthier

If you have survived a heart attack and do not have plans to move to a better world in the short term, supplementation with Q10 may be an interesting option for you. According to a small trial, published by Nutrition Scientists at Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2014, a daily dose of 200 milligrams Q10 makes the blood vessels of heart patients healthier.

Coenzyme Q10 and selenium on cardiovascular mortality

Specifically, the team found that the risk of cardiovascular mortality was 41 percent lower among participants who had received the supplements from 2003 to 2007. Other benefits included improved cardiac function, reduced oxidative stress and decreased fibrosis (scarring) and inflammation.

FDA Sought To Ban CoQ10

What is truly ironic is that from 1985 to 1994, the FDA made a concerted effort to completely outlaw coenzyme Q10. One of the FDA’s arguments was that because coenzyme Q10 is sold as a prescription drug in Japan, it should not be freely available to Americans as a dietary supplement.

The FDA tried to embargo imports of coenzyme Q10 from Japan and launched criminal investigations against those who promoted it in the United States.

Life Extension’s CoQ10 supplements were seized twice (and won back both times in legal actions). The FDA’s excuse for the first seizure was that the cardiovascular health claims made by Life Extension turned the coenzyme Q10 into an illegal “drug.” During the second seizure, the FDA claimed that coenzyme Q10 was so “dangerous” that it posed an “imminent threat” to the health of the American public. These allegations were of course baseless, and fortunately federal judges eventually saw through the FDA’s charade.
The sad facts were that statin drugs (approved by the FDA) were killing Americans by causing lethal coenzyme Q10 deficiencies. Instead of addressing the statin drug issue, the

FDA sought to ban CoQ10—the best antidote for statin drug toxicity.
The FDA continues to proclaim that it “protects” the health of Americans by denying “unproven” therapies. The FDA’s statements about “protecting” consumers’ health may go down in history as one of the greatest medical hoaxes of all time.

It took an enormous amount of effort by health freedom activists to derail the FDA’s efforts to deny Americans free access to CoQ10.

DragonBits, I wouldn't doubt if big Pharma had something to do with it. Another way to make big bucks prescription Co q-10.

Determination of CoQ10 in Dietary Supplements by HPLC Feb 27, 2020

NOW Foods conducted a survey on CoQ10 dietary supplements available on Amazon.com. All samples were tested by HPLC, employing a validated method for the determination of CoQ10 in dietary ingredients and finished products. The details of the survey are summarized below and are consistent with prior assays on these brands:

[Nelson Vergel]

Thank you. I wonder why theirs is not listed in the table.

 

[Vince]

Thank you. I wonder why theirs is not listed in the table.

I've always used Jarrow brand, I believe that's what Dr Langsjoen recommended for his patients. When he still had his practice. Which also was not on the list.

I think it is likely that NOW cherry-picked their results for greatest vendor-relations impact. It includes zero CoQ10 brands tested by ConsumerLab.

Coenzyme Q10

Nelson are you still taking ubiquione rather then Ubiquinol?

 

[Vince]

I've only had my Coq10 levels checked twice. Both times they were way over the top range.

Great video. Worth the 40 min.

I have taken CoQ10 for 20 years. My gingivitis went away. I also have not had a heart issue even with risks factors. I take 300 mg per day.

Lessons from the lecture:

If you are on statins, have gingivitis and reduced heart ejection fraction, take this supplement. The speaker recommends 150 mg three times per day. I take it for protection.

Try taking the reduced form called ubiquinol for better absorption. Do not take Coenzyme Q10 with vitamin E since E may lower CoQ10.

Hello Nelson, thanks for this information. I see its pretty old, but I have problems with gingivitis and just wanted to talk to you about this topic.
I feel like mine is due to different reasons, wrong cealing, no dentist also steroids, I really did a lot of things but I still have an inflammation. I will give a high quality q10 a try, did you do anything else?
