I appreciated Pat Barrington's valuable post on CoEnzymeQ10. It was
interesting to see that it was also consistent (especially with regard to
her point, excerpted below, of different products' variations in
absorbability) with what I had read in the Whole Dog Journal (the article I
referred to in a recent post), and I learned additionally from Pat's
elaboration.
I wonder if Pat and other listers who use CoQ10 would be willing to share
the names of suppliers they feel produce high-quality CoQ10. There are many
sources, especially on the internet, and I'd really appreciate some guidance
before ordering! (It looks to me like Standard Process is only available to
health-care professionals?, and I'd prefer to order directly without going
through a vet.)
Thanks in advance,
Alida
<<Quality is important. There are many CoQ10 supplements available
commercially but all are not created equal. They vary in quality and
absorbability. Upon laboratory tests, many products show a very poor
dissolution rate, indicating that their bioavailability is negligible. In
order for CoQ10 to be fully effective, it must cross the cellular barrier
and raise the intracellular levels in the mitochondria (relates to the
processes of cells within the body, energy, cell nourishment). The
aforementioned is taken from literature provided by the supplier of the
supplements I use and trust.
So, if veterinarians are seeing dogs (anecdotally) who are using CoQ10 but
is a poor quality, then no wonder some would naturally assume that the
product is not beneficial. One must satisfy themselves about the sources
they use, the research behind it and the quality control standards they
meet. Quality and application matter to the result.>>
