CoEnzyme Q10

Did you know that taking prescription medicines for lowering cholesterol could actually deplete the body of an incredibly important nutrient?

That nutrient is Coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is an essential and natural compound that helps the cells in our bodies produce energy. It is especially abundant in the heart. The heart contains a huge number of energy-producing cells called mitochondria, and its here that CoQ10 is found.

In addition to creating energy, CoQ10 also helps preserve the power of certain nutrients, like Vitamin E, and works with these nutrients to prevent accumulation of oxidized cholesterol. Studies are constantly demonstrating how well CoQ10 does for supporting people with heart disease.

Its especially useful in patients with heart-muscle disorders. One study showed CoQ10 to produce as good a result as standard drug therapy for angina, but without any side effects. Having an ample supply of CoQ10 also helps aid in weight loss. Maybe its because CoQ10 helps metabolize fat for energy.

That’s a lot of great benefits.
