Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is the cofactor of an enzyme, which are protein substances that are needed for tissue and cell building and repair. Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant that is the main element for cellular energy, with its highest concentrations in the heart and liver.

As the body ages, it loses its ability to create adequate amounts of CoQ10, with levels declining by as much as 70-80%. Studies are being done to see if there is a relation between age-related diseases and lack of CoQ10.

Since the heart contains one of the highest areas of concentration of coq10, taking supplements to prevent a deficiency helps the circulatory system and promotes a healthier heart. 75% of heart patients are found to be deficient in coq-10. Poor eating habits, stress, and infections can deplete the body of CoQ10.

Benefits of CoQ10

Benefits of Coq10 include controlling the flow of oxygen within individual cells to help increase circulation, builds the immune system to help fight disease and infections, improving heart-muscle metabolism and lowering blood pressure. CoQ10 also may treat congestive heart failure by enhancing the pumping action of the heart.

There are preliminary studies of CoQ10 given to patient within 2-3 days after a heart attack showing reductions in death, second heart attacks and abnormal heart rhythms. Still other studies show reduced angina (chest pain from clogged heart arteries) and improved exercise tolerance with clogged arteries.

It is becoming apparent that supplements with CoQ10 are important as a person ages, to keep the body’s supply from being diminished. Always remember to consult your physician before taking this or any other supplement.
