Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is the most vital nutrient of all and it is neither a vitamin, nor a mineral nor an amino acid (protein building block). CoQ10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant, present everywhere in the body. CoQ10 is absolutely essential for the production of energy in every cell of the body. 95% of the body’s energy is generated using CoQ10. Further, CoQ10 slows down aging process, enhances immune function, protects the body from destructive free radicals, extremely important to preventing and treating heart disease, diabetes, periodontal gum disease, high blood pressure, obesity and cancer. Many cardiovascular aliments benefit with CoQ10 supplementation. When administered following a coronary bypass surgery, CoQ10 reduces recovery time. CoQ10 given to people suffering from heart failure improves pulmonary function, edema, and heart palpitations. A generous dose of CoQ10 is extremely helpful in treating cardiomyopathies.
