Klamath Lake Algae combined with CoQ10 and Chromium Polynicotinate make a superb food supplement that can help replace two very common deficiencies.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the human body and is necessary for the functioning of cells. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and in patients with heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels. CoQ10 is taken daily by more than 6 million Japanese and by more than 20% of the adult population of health-conscious Denmark. Most people over the age of 35-40 have CoQ10 deficiency. Obese people are up to 50% deficient in CoQ10.

essential for almost all energy production in our cells
to benefit athletic performance
involved in maintaining a healthy immune system
CoQ10 is "miracle for the hearth" as it strengthens the myocard
it is a powerful anti-oxidant
it has been found to help in gum disease

chromium nutrition is essential for the good functioning of insulin
it helps the balance of blood sugar, helps even out the highs and lows
it genuinely helps increase the burn-off of body fat
it helps with cravings, mood swings and exhaustion
it has been reliably shown to increase resistance to infection
it enhances muscle activity, strength, endurance and stamina

High blood pressure (hypertension)
Preliminary research suggests that CoQ10 decreases the blood pressure (systolic and possibly diastolic). People with hypertension have usually low blood levels of CoQ10, although it is not clear if CoQ10 "deficiency" is a cause of high blood pressure.

Alzheimer's disease
CoQ10 supplements may slow down dementia in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Angina (chest pain from clogged heart arteries)
CoQ10 may reduce angina and improve exercise tolerance in people with clogged heart arteries.

Breast cancer
Studies in women with breast cancer report reduced levels of CoQ10 in diseased breast tissue or blood. Raising CoQ10 levels with supplements might be helpful.

Cardiomyopathy (dilated, hypertrophic)
CoQ10 improves heart function (ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac index, exercise tolerance).

Diabetes
Usually, CoQ10 does not affect blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (although it may lower them), and does not alter the need for diabetes medications. However, it is useful for improving the general condition of the cells and for prevention and treatment of complications.

Drug side effects and complications
Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) may cause heart damage, which responds well to taking CoQ10. Chemotherapy drugs, such as doxorubicin (Adriamycin), are commonly used to treat cancers such as breast cancer or lymphoma. Heart damage (cardiomyopathy) is a major concern with the use of chemotherapy, and CoQ10 protects the heart.

Exercise performance
CoQ10 has good effect on exercise performance in athletes and in normal healthy individuals.

Gum disease (periodontitis)
Taking of CoQ10 by mouth or placing it on the gums leads to improvement in bleeding, swelling, and pain in the treatment of periodontitis.

Heart attack (acute myocardial infarction)
CoQ10 given to patients within three days after a heart attack may reduce deaths, abnormal heart rhythms, and second heart attacks.

Heart conditions (mitral valve prolapse in children)
There is early data to support the use of CoQ10 in children with mitral valve prolapse.

Heart failure
In some parts of Europe, Russia, and Japan, CoQ10 is part of the standard therapy for congestive heart failure patients. CoQ10 benefits people with chronic heart failure (with or without cardiomyopathy), including transplant recipients. Studies report improved heart function (ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac index, exercise tolerance).

Heart protection during surgery
The heart function after major heart surgeries such as coronary artery bypass graft or valve replacement may improve when CoQ10 is given to patients before and/or during surgery.

Increasing sperm count
The use of CoQ10 may increase sperm count and motility, thus helping for better male fertility.

Kidney failure
CoQ10 is useful in the treatment of kidney (renal) failure.

Migraine
There is fair evidence to support the use of CoQ10 treatment in migraine prevention or treatment.

Mitochondrial diseases and Kearns-Sayre syndrome
COQ10 is often recommended for patients with mitochondrial diseases, including myopathies, encephalomyopathies, and Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Several studies report improvements in metabolism and physical endurance.

Muscular dystrophies
Patients with muscular dystrophy taking COQ10 report improvements in exercise capacity, heart function, and overall quality of life.

Old age
CoQ10 levels go down after 35-40 years of age, this condition worsening with time. Therefore, people in old age should use CoQ10 supplements to increase their energy and sense of wellbeing, to improve their heart function and to prolong their life.

Parkinson's disease
There is promising human evidence for the use of CoQ10 in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Pregnancy:
CoQ10 may strengthen the muscles of the uterus thus helping the delivery. If taken during the last 3 months of the pregnancy, it may improve the energy level of the pregnant women and alleviate the symptoms connected with the late pregnancy.
