CoQ10

Description

CoQ10 is an antioxidant that the body produces naturally and stores in components of the cell called mitochondria. It has associations with energy, protecting cells, and providing heart benefits. CoQ10 plays a critical role in the human body. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 also protects the cells in the body by neutralizing free radicals, which reduces oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress can cause tissue damage, inflammation, and cellular apoptosis, or cell death. Statins used for cholesterol such as atorvastatin (Lipitor), pravastatin (Lipostat), rosuvastatin (Crestor) and simvastatin (Zocor) will decrease levels of CoQ 10; thus it is highly recommended to use CoQ10 supplements every day.
Benefits:
● Cardiac (heart) cells, muscle, and cells of the liver have a significant amount of mitochondria and a very large energy requirement. CoQ10 is vital to the energy-producing processes that help maintain normal, healthy heart, muscle, and liver function. CoQ10 has been shown to support normal, healthy cardiovascular function including healthy blood pressure and efficient heart muscle contraction, as well as protection against free radical damage.
● CoQ10’s ability to enhance energy production and provide antioxidant support helps provide support for healthy neurological function as well as normal, healthy cell growth.
