Heart attacks and congestive heart failure are the causes of most heart-associated deaths. A heart attack is a blockage of one or more of the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. This has the effect of starving the heart muscle of both food and oxygen. Consequently, portions of the starved muscle die and cannot contract to help the heart pump. Heart attacks can cause damage to the heart muscle that later can lead to heart failure. In the case of congestive heart failure, when the heart muscle is weakened by damage, disease or other factors, the heart simply cannot pump at 100% capacity. This lower output eventually creates a series of blood flow problems in the body resulting in swelling of the ankles and fluid accumulation in the lungs. People with serious congestive heart failure cannot get enough oxygen because fluids accumulate in the lungs and fill the small air spaces. Long term high blood pressure, obesity, irregular heart beat, and any other condition that unnecessarily overworks the heart can weaken it and precipitate congestive heart failure.

The heart muscle contracts approximately 70-80 times per minute in the average person, or about 3 billion beats in a lifetime. It is the only muscle that works continually throughout your life with no rest. It has to be fed and relieved of wastes constantly. This is the reason for the extensive network of blood vessels and the peculiar arrangement of the cardiac muscle fibers and nerves. It is also why this special muscle has much larger concentrations of coenzyme Q10 than found anywhere else in the body.

Co Q10 is an essential factor in manufacturing energy from glucose in every cell of the body. Since the heart consumes this energy constantly, you can imagine how important it is to have all the essential nutrients available in an organ that never rests. Without adequate coenzyme Q10, the heart cannot properly function. It simply starves for energy, and will eventually begin to fail. The symptoms of nutrient depletion always appear first where the most action is – the heart!

As we age, Co Q10 levels begin to drop and the heart muscle has to make do with less Co Q10. This creates a condition of low performance, much like an automobile trying to run on 60-octane fuel. When the muscle has insufficient energy some fibers become weak or die. Without 100% function, the most important muscle in the body becomes compromised and begins to fail, usually preceded by noticeable changes in heart activity. Congestive heart failure is always associated with the heart’s decreased pumping ability and reduced levels of coenzyme Q10.

A study of congestive heart failure patients in Texas revealed that 25% of patients treated with conventional therapy survived, whereas patients with Co Q10 added to their conventional treatment had a 75% survival rate. In a study with animals, the addition of Co Q10 was shown to increase the life span of the test subjects by 50%.

Coenzyme Q10 has been shown to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels without medications (and their potential side effects) or other dietary changes*. Lowered blood pressure keeps the heart from having to work harder to overcome resistance in the arteries. In one study, 26 patients were given 50 mg of Co Q10 twice daily for ten weeks. Their levels of Co Q10, and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, were recorded before and after the test period:

Simplexity Health’s Super Q10 is unique. Our liquid emulsion formula with companion antioxidants is a product of high value and maximum effectiveness. We use flaxseed oil that is high in omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which promote the synthesis of the “good” HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol. We add the essential oils of rosemary, fennel, ginger, and cinnamon, each of which has a health benefit of its own. Finally, we add the carotenoids lutein and lycopene which are especially active in the retina of the eye and the prostate gland, respectively.

In summation, coenzyme Q10 is remarkable—an indispensable component in cellular function. Simplexity Health’s Super Q10 is a super-enhanced form of Co Q10 formulated for your continued good health.
