Co-Enzyme Q-10 in 100mg
Coenzyme Q10 functions as an intracellular antioxidant.* Due to its involvement in energy production within the cell, CoQ10 affects the function of all cells in the body, making it essential for the health of tissues and organs.* CoQ10 particularly benefits the most metabolically active cells: heart, immune system, gingiva, and gastric mucosa.* An adequate supply of intracellular CoQ10 is vital to the health of heart muscle.* CoQ10 supports normal heart rhythm and can help maintain already normal blood pressure.*
Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs decrease the body's ability to synthesize cholesterol. An unintended consequence of these medications can be a decrease in the body's ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is an essential biochemical cofactor and antioxidant responsible for energy production in cells, especially in heart cells.* A statin-induced CoQ10 deficiency is thought to be a possible explanation for the fatigue, myalgia, and exercise intolerance experienced by some individuals taking this category of medication. Because of this, many experts advise the use of CoQ10 during a cholesterol-lowering statin protocol to prevent this depletion.*
