Health Benefits of Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 has exploded onto the health scene. This powerful
mineral has many health saving properties. It is responsible
for essential chemical reactions in your body as well as being
a dynamite antioxidant.
What's more, Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, occurs
naturally in your body, (and that's good), but unfortunately,
as you age, have nutritional
deficiencies or get sick you are producing less of this essential
mineral. Studies show that an estimated 25% deficiency of
CoQ10 will cause serious metabolic health problems.
CoQ10 plays
a key role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
needed for energy production in every cell. It also
has a powerful antioxidant that helps guard against damage
from free
radicals.
And that is just for starters, cardiologist Peter
Langsjorn explains "Like
the vitamins discovered in the early part of this century,
CoQ10 is an essential element of food that can now be used
medically."
Here are just a few of the health benefits of CoQ10:
Weight
Loss - stimulates your body’s metabolism
Healthy Gums - suppresses gingival inflammation
Male Fertility - improves sperm mobility and protects
free radical injury
Cardiovascular - improvement of symptoms in cardiac
and congestive heart failure patients
Immune System - significantly enhances function
In various
other studies CoQ10 was a tremendous benefit in lowering
high blood pressure and helped with angina
and congestive
heart
failure.
So where can you find CoQ10? A small amount,
10 to 20 milligrams of CoQ10, can be found in fish and
organ meats
of animals.
But if you’re not keen on organ meats an
easily available source of this nutrient is found
in many
high quality nutritional
supplements.
Safe scientific formulated blends
of vitamins and minerals including CoQ10 are
specially formulated
for maximum
absorption. For adults
taking Coenzyme Q10 in a supplement, the optimal
amount should be between 30 and 90 mg per day.
Under a doctors
care, higher
amounts may be prescribed.
Regardless of age
or health almost everybody would benefit from taking CoQ10
daily. Our health
and
quality of life
are based
on feeling good and having healthy energy supplies.
