CoQ10: Enjoy your life with a healthier heart 

Who Needs CoQ10?

CoQ10 is a dietary supplement that has gained popularity because of its potent benefits in heart and immune health, and is widely discussed in health literature [1]. However, many people are still not getting enough of this vital nutrient. If you are over 40 and feel that your body is “off”—you may not have a sufficient supply of CoQ10 in your body.

CoQ10 is present in some foods, but in small amounts. You may be able to get a sufficient amount of CoQ10 through a balanced diet, or you can supplement it. Keep in mind that your body’s natural production of CoQ10 decreases as you age, and such a deficiency can lead to health complications.

Health Benefits of CoQ10 

• Promotes healthy heart function[2]
• Has a strong antioxidant effect[3]
• Boosts the immune system [4]
• Promotes energy[5]
• Maintains healthy blood pressure[6]
• Helps in maintaining cholesterol levels [7]
• Supports brain performance [8]
• Maintains dental health [9]

CoQ10 in the Body

CoQ10 is present in every single cell in the human body, supporting cell maintenance, cognitive function, and cell growth. It is an energy carrier for your cells and aids your body in efficiently producing energy, so you don’t feel like you’re running on an empty battery. In addition, many studies have demonstrated that CoQ10 can protect your body from free radicals.[10]

What are Free Radicals?

Free radicals are rogue molecules that steal electrons from other stable molecules, which may cause harm to your body. They can come from the things in the environment, such as pollution and ozone, and can also be created through metabolic processes in our own bodies. These molecules can have a devastating effect in the long run, because when cells are damaged through free radicals and are not properly repaired, the aging process is accelerated[11].

CoQ10 as an Antioxidant

CoQ10 has a powerful antioxidant effect that can protect your cells throughout the body, protecting you from damages caused by oxidative stress and free radicals. Researchers have found that CoQ10 therefore has an important effect on our immune function. The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 can safeguard our DNA from oxidative damage and play an important part in maintaining our metabolism.

CoQ10 and Heart Health

Many studies have demonstrated how CoQ10 can especially promote heart health. A study done by the University of Texas Medical Branch that included 424 heart patients in a span of 8 years added CoQ10 to their medical regimen. There was a significant statistical improvement in overall heart function, with no side effects noted.[12] CoQ10 supplementation can increase energy to the heart and may support healthy blood pressure.

Other Uses for CoQ10

Recent studies show that CoQ10 can be used as a support therapy for many other conditions, as well as promoting recovery from surgery. For further reading on this topic see the links below:

Conclusion

CoQ10 has been shown to have many health benefits. It is linked with cellular energy production that may give you a boost in vitality and has been clinically shown to promote heart health. CoQ10 may also improve brain function. Adults at every age may enjoy the health benefits of CoQ10 supplementation, particularly those who are feeling the effects of aging.
