CoQ10 is THE essential nutrient of life!  Not only is this enzyme responsible for up to 95% of body’s energy, it acts as an antioxidant helping prevent illness and disease.  Clinical studies have indicated significant benefits for low energy, heart disease, strengthening the immune system, Parkinson’s, and several forms of cancer.

What does CoQ10 do? 

Every bodily function requires a specific amount of energy and CoQ10 is essential for the body to make this energy.  It is also a potent antioxidant (it protects the body from “rusting”).

Does my body make CoQ10?

Yes.  Produced in the body and distributed ubiquitously throughout, CoQ10 has been given the scientific name ubiquinone.  It is found in the mitochondria (powerhouse) of every cell, but is especially abundant in body cells with highest metabolic activity, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, brain and muscles. 

I heard that CoQ10 can help protect against things like cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and heart disease.  Is this true?  How does it work?

The building of proteins in the body, from muscles to hormones, requires energy.  By its role in energy production, CoQ10 helps protect the body from abnormal protein mutations that result in cancers and age related degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease.
