CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a naturally occurring nutrient essential for cell growth and maintenance. Aging decreases the body's ability to process and produce ubiquinol, the biologically functioning form of CoQ10. Illness, poor nutrient intake, and certain medications can result in inadequate internal production of CoQ10 to sustain optimal organ function.
Heart muscle, periodontal tissues, immune system, liver, kidney, brain, and other vital organs rely on CoQ10 for cellular energy and free radical protection. For those with a ubiquinol deficiency, supplementing with CoQ10 may provide significant health benefits.
Benefits of CoQ10 may include:
- Faster post-exercise recovery
- Fewer migraine symptoms
- Relief from statin medication side effects
- Reduced risk of heart failure
