Top 8 CoQ10 Benefits! by Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh

This is the third of a series of six articles in which Shaklee collaborates with Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh, to jointly inspire more Malaysians to achieve better nutrition and wellness.

Who is Dato’ Dr Rajbans Singh? 

He's actually the President of Malaysian Wellness Society. I always love to listen to him on the radio early in the morning because he shared a lot of great health tips to the listeners.  

This time, I am so happy to see him appeared in the Shaklee Bulletin for the month of Feb 2018, sharing with us the top 8 benefits of CoQ10. 

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone comes in two forms: ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form, and ubiquinone, the oxidised form in which the body partially converts to ubiquinol. It exists everywhere in the body. Although CoQ10 behaves like a vitamin, its primary role serves as a catalyst in certain reactions. Thus, it is not considered a true vitamin because it is synthesised in the cells. CoQ10 is a natural supplement required for many important functions in the body. However, a lot us do not realise that CoQ10 decreases as we age which may then lead to other health implications.

Benefit #1: Energy Production 

CoQ10 acts as a catalyst in the chain of chemical reactions that create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound that yields the energy needed by cells to function. Due to Coenzyme’s role in energy production, it stands to reason that a low concentration of this substance is detrimental to health in general. CoQ10 is most abundant in organs that require a large supply of energy especially the heart, liver and immune system. 

Benefit #2: CoQ10 Antioxidant Powers 

Like a number of other vitamins, CoQ10 is an antioxidant. Similar in structure to vitamin E, another antioxidant, CoQ10 has been shown to scavenge harmful free radicals and thus may help prevent cell damage in a variety of conditions. 

Benefit #3: Parkinson’s Disease 

Early research suggests that high doses of CoQ10 might be beneficial for people in the early stages of this progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement

Benefit #4: Cardiovascular Health 

Most of the research on CoQ10 involves the heart, since this nutrient is most concentrated in that organ. CoQ10 is beneficial for heart health in many ways. It assists in maintaining the normal oxidative state of LDL cholesterol, helps assure circulatory health and supports optimal functioning of heart muscle. CoQ10 may also help support the health of vessel walls as well as help reduce blood pressure. Some research also suggests that when combined with other nutrients, CoQ10 might aid recovery in people who might have had bypass and heart valve surgeries. 

Benefit #5: Physical Performance 

CoQ10 is involved in energy production. It is believed that this supplement can improve your physical performance. Some research has also shown that CoQ10 may assist in reducing headaches / migraines as evidenced by work done at Mayo clinic. 

Benefit #6: Statin-induced Myopathy 

Statins reduce the formation of CoQ10 in the body and causes muscle weakness. Thus, taking CoQ10 supplements can help reduce the muscle weakness. 

Benefit #7: CoQ10 Benefits On Skin Health 

CoQ10 being an antioxidant aids in skin health. It also supports the health of vessel walls, hence improving blood supply to the skin. 

Benefit #8: Fertility 

CoQ10 improves sperm motility in men and by its antioxidant properties, improves blood supply. As such, CoQ10 increases fertility in both men and women. 

Though our body can produce CoQ10, the ability starts to decline around age 20 and enters a tailspin at the age of 40 and so on until age 80. That is why is it very important to supplement our body with CoQ10 everyday. 

Some of you may be thinking that you can get all these from the normal diet that you are taking everyday. But do you have any idea how much food do you actually need to consume in order to meet the standard amount of CoQ that a healthy body need? 

The recommended daily CoQ10 intake per day is 100 mg. But how much is 100 mg if we are taking it from our daily diet?

100 tablespoons of canola oil

3 kg of red meat

100 cups of boiled broccoli

3.3 kg of peanut butter

Wow! Can you actually eat 100 cups of boiled broccoli in a day? 

Shaklee CoQ10 is called CoQ-Trol. What is so special about our CoQ-trol? 

Shaklee CoQ-Trol now comes with 100 mg of CoQ10, Resveratrol (great antioxidants) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E).

Benefits of Soy Protein for Students

I used to be a student. Just like you. Most of the time, I have dilemma especially when it's near to final exams, due date for assignments is just around the corner, extreme fatigue, and was forced to join some "compulsory" activities organised by University and etc. 

Arrhhhh!! That's so annoying. 

I know exactly how that feels. 

Stress, not able to have proper breakfast, gastric, dry skin and pimples are some of the common problems faced by students nowadays.  

Now, what's the connection between soy protein with ESP and students? 

Shaklee ESP Mixed Soy Protein Isolate Powder is a delicious food rich in calcium and protein and some other minerals.  

Here are some of the benefits of ESP for students:

(1) To Boost Up Brain Memory

Peptides from soybeans may influence the immune system and hormones linked to emotion, and ultimately boost brain function, according to a new Sino-Japanese study. Soybean peptides, obtained by hydrolyzing soy protein isolate with food-processing enzymes, were associated with a decrease in adrenalin levels and an increase in dopamine levels. These results suggest that adequate supplementation with soybean peptide can be useful in healthy populations through an improvement in immune functions, stress conditions, and brain circulation.

(2) Long Lasting Energy

Students who are always active in lots of activities are encouraged to consume ESP. ESP has low glycemic index. In other words, ESP is slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised and cause a lower and slower rise in blood glucose and  provide a stable energy level. Therefore, student will feel energised for longer hours.  Go Low for High Energy! The good news is that eating low GI foods will help you with concentration, energy and make you feel fuller for longer – helping to curb those cravings to overeat.

If you wish to stay-up to burnt the midnight oil or rush for assignments, at least students will not feel tired easily.

(3) Breakfast and Healthy Instant Snacks

Breakfast with ESP is very easy. All you need is 1 minute of preparation and you are ready to grab and go to school with ESP. It makes you feel fuller for longer hours. At least you won’t start to feel hungry at 11am during class or go pitch-black due to hunger. This delicious ESP is nutritious. It has calcium, protein and other minerals to keep you body strong and healthy at all time. If you are hungry during odd hours, feel free to make yourself a nice cup of ESP drink. I have lots of nice recipe for ESP. Feel free to buzz me for more information on the recipes.

(4) Control Body Weight 

Obesity is generally defined as weighing more than 20 percent above the ideal number of pounds for your height and age. The percentage of teens that are overweight or obese has more than doubled in the last three decades. Approximately 12.5 million or 17 percent of children aged 2 through 19 are considered overweight, according to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. ESP which has low glycemic index will give a long lasting energy to students and prevent them from having sudden cravings of food. Apart of having better concentration in their studies, their body weight is in control.

(5) To Build Healthy Muscles

When students consume other supplements such as Omega and Lecithin which has the ability to burnt and break body fat, fats which have been removed will be filled and build up with healthy muscles. Body with higher muscles composition will have higher body metabolism which therefore resulted in higher calories burnt.

(6) No More Gastric

Due to busy schedule and time constraint, gastric is a very common problems among the students nowadays. Gastric pain is commonly used to describe pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen. Other symptoms typically include heartburn, bloating, belching and nausea. The root cause of the problem is in the stomache/oesophagus. There may be disturbance of gastric mucosa which can lead to acid secretion. Gastric problems can also occur when acids contact stomache nerve endings due to lack of food for digestion. ESP has the ability to neutralized the acidic condition in the stomache.  

(7) Healthier and More Beautiful Skin

One of the most common problems faced by student nowadays is acne or pimples due to stress and hormone problem especially for teenagers. Proteins are necessary for tissue repair and for the construction of new tissue. Every cell needs protein to maintain its life. Protein is also the primary substance used to "replace" worn-out or dead cells. On top of that, sufficient protein intake will give you healthier skin, nails and hair too.
