| CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) - CoQ10 is a micronutrient essential to all human life. It is a naturally occurring nutrient that works as a co-factor in the body’s electron transport system where all of the body’s energy is derived. CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) regulates the flow of oxygen moving in and out of the mitochondria, which are the cell’s power plants. The body’s cellular power plants can't function without CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10). Declines in CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) levels occur with advancing age and appear to be correlated with deterioration of the immune system. Supplementation with CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) could help to boost energy levels, strengthen and protect the heart and blood vessels, enhance the immune system and protect against free radical damage. Like all muscles, the heart needs adequate energy to contract, and CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) facilitates the production of that energy. In those with coronary heart disease, supplementation may reduce the frequency of angina episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that a person can perform before developing angina pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10), like the heart, are those that require the most energy. |
