The Many Benefits of Coenzyme Q10

If you're like most people, you probably haven't heard of coenzyme Q10. But this vitamin-like compound plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, and its levels have been found to decline with age. CoQ10 is found throughout the body, but is especially concentrated in the heart, liver, and kidney. It works with vitamin E as a potent free radical scavenger in cell membranes and within blood vessels. Years of scientific research have shown that CoQ10 helps to maintain a healthy heart and vascular system. Lets explore some of the many benefits of this important nutrient.

The Benefits of CoQ10 for Heart Health

The heart is a muscle that never takes a break – it pumps blood 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So it's no wonder that the leading cause of death in the United States is cardiovascular disease.* Because CoQ10 is so concentrated in the heart muscle, it plays an important role in supporting heart health.* Numerous clinical studies have shown that CoQ10 can help to support healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range.* It has also been shown to promote healthy endothelial function – which is important for maintaining healthy blood vessels.* In addition, CoQ10 has antioxidant properties that can help to protect the LDL cholesterol from oxidation – a process that contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).*

CoQ10 and Brain Health

While most people think of CoQ10 as being good for heart health, its benefits don't stop there. This important nutrient also plays an important role in brain health – specifically in energy production and mitochondrial function.* Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of cells because they produce 90% of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) – which is the main source of energy for cells.* A clinical study published in Neurochemistry International found that supplementation with CoQ10 improved symptoms associated with age-related cognitive decline.* Another study published in Brain Research showed that administration of CoQ10 improved cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease after just 12 weeks.*

In Summary:

As you can see, there are many reasons to consider adding a CoQ10 supplement to your daily routine. If you're interested in learning more about how this important nutrient can benefit your health, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider.
