What is Easy-Q™?

Platinum Naturals Easy-Q™ is an advanced CoQ10 product, manufactured using Platinum Naturals award winning Omega Suspension Technology™ (OST™). Easy-Q™ is 46% better absorbed than CoQ10 in softgels and 30% better absorbed than effervescent tablets. Its potency is guaranteed by virtue of its superior stability and backed by independent laboratory testing.

What is CoQ10?

Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10 or Ubiquinone) is a vitamin-like substance that is present throughout the body. In fact, its name, Ubiquinone, means “everywhere.” It is essential for all cell tissues and organs for the production of energy.

A powerful antioxidant, CoQ10 is best known for its ability to destroy free radicals and protect against free radical damage. Some experts believe that free radical damage is the root cause of aging. For this reason it is often used in high end anti-aging creams.

“CoQ10 has been one of the most important discoveries in nutritional science within the last few decades”
- Prof. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel laureate

What does CoQ10 have to do with my heart?

Due to its high energy requirements, the heart contains the highest concentration of Co10. Over the past 15 years, research has established a definitive link between CoQ10 deficiency and cardiovascular disease, and related heart disorders (see CoQ10 Levels in Organs by Age). Specifically, studies have suggested that supplemental CoQ10 can reduce the frequency of angina (chest pain) episodes, strengthen the heart muscle, and increase the quality of life and survival rates of people with congestive heart failure.
CoQ10 deficiency may be a predictor of heart conditions. Not only has it been detected in heart failure patients, but the degree of CoQ10 deficiency is correlated to the severity of heart failure! CoQ10 has also been shown to decrease blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure, and to prevent damage to the heart caused by certain cancer drugs.

Why is CoQ10 particularly important for people taking heart drugs?

It is well known that certain drugs can interfere with CoQ10 synthesis. Of particular concern are cholesterol-lowering Statins (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors), which severely deplete CoQ10 levels to an alarming degree. The good news is Statin-induced CoQ10 deficiency is completely preventable with supplemental CoQ10 and will not adversely affect the cholesterol-lowering, or anti-inflammatory, properties of Statin drugs.

Other than cholesterol-lowering drugs, what causes CoQ10 deficiency?

At the best of times it is difficult to maintain adequate levels of CoQ10 from the diet alone, but as we age we begin to lose the ability to synthesize CoQ10 from food sources. Thus, supplementation is often recommended for people over the age of 40. Poor eating habits, stress and infection, obesity and low energy levels have also been associated with lower than normal levels of CoQ10.

CoQ10 is becoming increasingly poplular in anti-aging skin care products because of its ability to combat free radical damage. Taken internally, CoQ10 can provide the same benefit.

CoQ10 Levels in Organ by Age

This chart clearly shows the drastic drop in CoQ10 levels in the heart and kidneys by the age of 40, which is why supplementation is recommended for most people in this age group. Another reason for supplementation is that the average person gets 10 mg of CoQ10 from their diet, but it is estimated that we require 30 mg of CoQ10 daily.

I don’t have heart problems. Can Easy-Q™ help me?

Since CoQ10 is essential to the optimal function of all organs, there are many other benefits of CoQ10 supplementation. CoQ10 may be used as a migraine prophylactic, and in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, breast cancer, and gum disease. As well, CoQ10 can help improve immune function and exercise performance.

According to National Cancer Institute website (www.cancer.gov):

-Coenzyme Q10 is made naturally by the human body.
-Coenzyme Q10 helps cells to produce energy, and it acts as an
 antioxidant.
-Coenzyme Q10 has shown an ability to stimulate the immune system
 and to protect the heart from damage caused by certain chemotherapy
 drugs*.
-Low blood levels of coenzyme Q10 have been detected in patients with
 some types of cancer*.
-No report of a randomized clinical trial of coenzyme Q10 as a treatment
 for cancer has been published in a peer-reviewed, scientific journal.
-Coenzyme Q10 is marketed in the United States as a dietary supplement.

*Do not use CoQ10 if you undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatmentwithout consulting your oncologist.

GOOD NEWS FOR FITNESS BUFFS!

New research suggests that CoQ10 may play an important role in athletic performance. According to the results of four International studies, CoQ10 may improve tolerance for greater workloads, aid in the regeneration of damaged muscular tissues, and improve overall performance. In one double-blind cross-over study of top-level cross-country skiers, 94% of the athletes felt that CoQ10 supplementation helped improve their performance and recovery time!

The Platinum Difference

While there are many different CoQ10 products on the market, not all are created equal. Supplements can vary widely in efficacy and often contain unnecessary and potentially harmful ingredients. At Platinum Naturals we are committed to bringing you pure, professional-grade products at affordable prices. Here are a few of the ways we ensure Easy-Q™ is the most effective CoQ10 product available

Value-added purity – Easy-Q™ is made using Platinum Naturals’ Omega Suspension Technology™. This proprietary technology eliminates the need for excipients – fillers, binders and dyes – while providing all the health benefits of a quality essential fatty acid.

High potency – Oxygen destroys many nutrients, including CoQ10. Easy-Q™ is manufactured in an oxygen-free, nitrogen-rich environment using Licaps® Technology*. This protects the CoQ10 from oxygen damage both during manufacturing and while sitting on store shelves, to ensure optimal potency.

Better absorption – Easy-Q™ contains 100% soluble CoQ10 for improved absorption. Using Capsugel® Licap® Technology, Easy-Q™ has been scientifically proven to be at least 30% better absorbed than other popular brands of CoQ10, including softgel capsules.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) – MCT should not be confused with total triglycerides that are often measured during annual physical checkups. MCT is made up of fatty acids with 8 –12 carbons and has been used therapeutically since 1950’s in the treatment of fat malabsorption, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, weight control, and to increase exercise performance. MCT consumption can lower total triglyceride levels in the body. MCT can also provide much needed extra energy for those that are CoQ10 deficient.
