CoQ10 stories – perhaps the greatest and most essential supplement for cellular life and general health

CoQ10 stories you may hear about from time to time are perhaps the greatest untold stories regarding medical and supplement breakthroughs in a long time. It needs to be heard by everyone since your health and more importantly, your life, could depend on it. Coq10 is a natural coenzyme required by all living cells for proper cellular function. It is essential for cellular energy and supports cardiovascular function. Our body synthesizes CoQ10; however, as we grow older the ability to produce enough of this critical biochemical drops dramatically. As a result, we need to supplement this critical supplement as we age since we rarely get enough of it from the foods we eat. Foods that naturally contain significant amounts of CoQ10 include sardines, mackerel, spinach and broccoli. It would be virtually impossible to eat enough food in order to adequately supplement our bodily requirements, especially if you exercise vigorously and/or frequently. Adequate supplementation is especially important for those who place high demands on their muscles and require ample energy.

CoQ10 benefits regarding cardiovascular health is well documented in studies. It is also known to boost the immune system, treat diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer and other major health issues. It also functions as a powerful antioxidant to prevent free radical damage.

Anyone taking statin cholesterol lowering drugs should supplement with CoQ10 regardless of age. Cholesterol lowering drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor rapidly deplete bodily supplies of CoQ10. Without proper supplementation a whole host of medical conditions could result which when left untreated may lead to death.

A recent study has also shown CoQ10 to be effective against chronic inflammation of arteries and heart muscle. Other studies have also shown CoQ10 to have an effect on some cancers by slowing the growth of those cancers while not affecting the growth of healthy cells.
