Learning About CoQ10
CoQ10 also known as Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that the body produces to meet the energy requirement in cells with high energy demands such as the heart.
What Is CoQ10?
CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a fat-soluble substance that is similar to vitamins and it is present in almost all tissues of the body. It is very vital in the mitochondria, the energy centers of the cell, where it assists in the process of converting food into ATP, a form of energy used in the body. Also, CoQ10 works as a superoxide dismutase that puts a protective shield on the cell from free radicals.
Who Needs CoQ10?
CoQ10 is synthesized in the human body but the production decreases as a person ages, has certain diseases, or is under some medications including statins.
Those who are above 40 years old, those with heart complications, those on statins, and athletes can gain the most from taking CoQ10 supplements. Nonetheless, those who wish to improve their heart health, gain more energy, or increase the intake of antioxidants in their body should take CoQ10.
Why CoQ10?
CoQ10 has many uses; the main one is for the support of the cardiovascular system. It also helps regulate healthy blood pressure, helps increase the function of the heart muscle, and may help prevent heart failure.
Besides the cardiovascular system, CoQ10 is involved in energy metabolism, thus helping in athletics and combating exhaustion. It also has antioxidant effects that are beneficial to the skin, brain, and life span.
