IMMUNE
SYSTEM
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is an integral part of the immune cycle. When body levels of it are raised,
the immune system can receive more help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs. However,
antibiotics do not help to rebuild the immune system. On the other hand, CO-Q-10 can
naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wider range of beneficial and
protective effects.
This vitamin like substance is found primarily in the heart muscle.
Like all muscles, the heart muscle needs adequate energy to contract, and CO-Q-10
facilitates the production of that energy. In people with coronary heart disease,
supplementation reduces the frequency of anginal episodes and increases the amount of
physical exercise that a person can perform before developing anginal pain.
Tissues that need the largest amounts of Co-Enzyme Q-10 are those that
require the most energy, such as the heart. Our internal ability to produce CO-Q-10
declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more on CO-Q-10 from our diets.
In tests on thousands of people, no toxicity has ever been shown, no
matter how high the amount that is taken.

NECESSARY
NUTRIENT
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is a nutrient necessary to the functioning of every cell in our bodies. Our
bodies could not survive without it. If body levels start dropping, so does our general
health.
Scientists estimate that once levels drop below the 25% deficient
levels, many disease states begin to flourish including high blood pressure, heart attack,
angina, immune depression, periodontal disease, lack of energy, weight gain and even early
death.
CO-Q-10
AND ENERGY
Co-Enzyme Q-10 is known as CO-Q-10 and also ubiquinone. It is a member of the quinone
cyclic compounds that may be considered a relative of some potent anti-cancer drugs.
CO-Q-10 can add or remove oxygen from biologically active molecules.
Every cell of the body contains many subcellular components called
mitochondria, which produce 95% of the total energy of the body. CO-Q-10 is an integral
part of the membranes of the mitochondria where it is involved in the production of ATP,
the basic energy producing molecule of cells.
THE
IMMUNE SYSTEM AND AGING
When immunity is low, so are the reserves of CO-Q-10. When body levels of CO-Q-10 are
raised, so is the immune potential. AIDS victims and other people with depressed immune
systems can receive some help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs, but they will not
rebuild the immune system. Mice have been shown to have a 50% extended life span by
supplementing with CO-Q-10.
Co-Enzyme Q-10 acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against free
radical damage and exerting a protective effect on cell membranes. CO-Q-10 can naturally
stimulate the immune system and result in a wide range of beneficial and protective
effects.
THE
HEART AND BLOOD PRESSURE
Tissues that require the most energy (such as the heart) need the largest amounts of
CO-Q-10. Angina is a condition where inadequate oxygen is available to the heart muscle
itself. People with failing cardiac systems have shown to greatly benefit with increased
strength and vigor when supplemented with CO-Q-10. People with high blood pressure usually
have lower levels of CO-Q-10.
CO-Q-10
AND WEIGHT LOSS
It has been shown at the University of Texas and the University of Antwerp, Belgium that
obese people can lose weight simply with the addition of CO-Q-10 to the diet. This
research showed that obese people can have as much as a 50% deficiency of Co-Enzyme Q-10
in their tissues.
People who eat a lot and yet stay slim have significantly higher levels
of CO-Q-10 in their blood. This wonderful enzyme can increase metabolic fuel efficiency
within your cells - stimulating natural weight loss.
PERIODONTAL
HEALTH
Co-Enzyme Q-10 exerts its protective and strengthening action in all tissues. Working from
the cellular level, it strengthens the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists
believe that periodontal (gum) disease is a good indicator of low levels of CO-Q-10 in
other tissues. The American Dental Association states that at least 87% of the American
population has some sort of gum disease. This has been shown to be somewhat related to
nutrition and particularly to levels of CO-Q-10, which has been shown to have a good
protective effect for gum tissue.
THE
CO-Q-10 FAMILY
There are at least ten common CO-Q's, that is, different sized molecules from CO-Q-1 to
CO-Q-10. The liver can utilize other CO-Q's to make CO-Q-10. If the liver is not
functioning efficiently, body levels can be too low, especially with advancing age or if
disease is present. Our internal ability to produce CO-Q-10 declines with age, and as we
get older, we must rely more on our diet.
IS
CO-Q-10 SAFE
In tests of thousands of people, no toxicity has ever been shown, no matter how high the
amount. Plants and animals get it from the soil, but we get it from the plants and animals
that contain various CO-Q's.
PHYTOZYME
BASE
CO-Q-10 PLUS is formulated in the proprietary Life Plus PhytoZyme base, which contains a
unique blend of over thirty natural concentrates of numerous valuable phytonutrients from
plants. When you take Life Plus products, you have the added benefit of receiving the
numerous health supporting phytochemicals and other micronutrients contained in them.
HOW TO
TAKE CO-Q-10 PLUS
There is no definite amount determined, but remember that more is needed as more energy is
required. This is especially so if extra nutritional support is needed for the immune
system, heart, weight loss or protection against degenerative disease. Life Plus CO-Q-10
PLUS tablets are packaged in bottles of 60. One to three tablets are recommended one to
three times daily.
