It was in 1957 that Coenzyme Q10 was first identified, its chemical structure was determined in 1958, but interest in Coenzyme Q10 as a potential treatment for cancer began in 1961, it was as a result of the discovery that a deficiency of the enzyme was identified in the blood of cancer patients. Low blood levels of coenzyme Q10 have been identified in patients with melanoma, lymphoma lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, head, neck and cancer of the breast.
Information from studies has identified how Coenzyme Q10 works in the body to produce energy and act as antioxidant. Some of the studies suggested that Coenzyme Q10 stimulates the immune system and increase resistance to disease. Researchers are of the opinion that Coenzyme Q10 may be useful as an adjuvant therapy for cancer.
Laboratory studies of the supplement focused on describing its chemical structures and how it works in the body. Animal studies identified that it stimulates the immune system and increased resistance to disease. Coenzyme Q10 aids in protecting the hearts of animals given the anticancer drug doxorubicin, which can cause damage to the heart muscle.
Coenzyme Q10 is used by the body as antioxidant. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals. Some conventional cancer therapies such as anticancer drugs and radiation treatment, kill cancer cells in part by causing free radicals to form, here coenzyme Q10 can serve as adjuvant therapy to counter the effects of free radicals.
Coenzyme Q10 has no serious side effects, some patients have experienced mild insomnia, elevated levels of liver enzymes, rashes, nausea, and upper abdominal pain, other reported side effects includes dizziness, visual sensivity to light, headache, irritability, heart burn and fatigue.
Coenzyme Q10 is usually taken by mouth as a pill (tablet or capsule) it may also be given by injection into a vein (IV.)
