CoQ Benefits
Q: What are CoQ10 benefits and do you really need another supplement for it?
A: Almost everyone has heard of coenzyme Q10, but most don’t know what it actually is. Once you understand its functions, the benefits are obvious.
CoQ10 is an enzyme which is naturally found in many cells of the body. In fact, it is found in every single mitochondrial cell – and about 95% of your body’s energy is produced by these cells, which convert sugars and fats into energy. Your internal organs (like your heart) need the most energy, which is why you will find the highest concentrations of CoQ10 here.
The Dangers of Deficiency
When there is a deficiency of this enzyme, even the basic metabolic functions of your cells are disrupted. Natural production of this enzyme declines as we age. Furthermore, the use of medications for lowering cholesterol also depletes your levels.
Whether you’re in your twenties or your eighties, there is an overwhelmingly vast amount of scientific research that points to coenzyme Q10 having a substantial impact on your health.
