CoQ10 To Increase Heart Health -
CoQ10 for Heart Health
More than
40% of all deaths in the U.S.
are from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
You have a greater chance of dying from heart disease than from cancer,
AIDS, diabetes, and accidents combined.
More than 2,600 Americans die each day of CVD – an average of 1 death
every 33 seconds. One in 5 men and women
have some form of CVD.
If all forms of major CVD were eliminated, life expectancy would rise by
almost 7 years.
One of the
most – if not the most – important things people can do to improve their
overall health and life expectancy is to improve their heart health. Diet, exercise, and the wise use of dietary
supplements can improve heart health dramatically. One dietary supplement that’s extremely
beneficial to heart health is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
Q. What is CoQ10?
A. CoQ10 is a
natural, fat-soluble nutrient present in virtually all cells. CoQ10 also is known as ubiquinone. That’s because CoQ10 is ubiquitous and exists
everywhere there is life. CoQ10 is vital
to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.
ATP is the energy-rich compound used for all energy-requiring processes
in the body. Although COQ10 is produced
by the body and exists in some dietary sources, these levels may be
insufficient to meet the body’s requirements.
CoQ10 levels diminish with age and as a result of dietary inadequacies
and various disease states. Also, some
drugs, especially a group of cholesterol-lowering prescription drugs known as
“statin,” (Pravachol, Zocor, Lipitor, etc.) significantly reduce CoQ10 levels
in the body.
Q. For what health
conditions is CoQ10 used?
A. CoQ10 is
beneficial in treating and preventing CVD and conditions such as high blood
pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), angina, and congestive
heart failure (CHF). It’s been shown
that heart attacks tend to occur when CoQ10 levels are low in the body. In addition, CoQ1 ...
