Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin–like substance that is present in all human cells and is responsible for the production of the body's own energy. Food energy converts energy in each cell with the help of CoQ10. It is an important antioxidant, as it protects the cells from free radicals. Free radicals cause aging and are generated in the mitochondria; CoQ10 plays a key role in the respiratory system, and for that reason is located side-by-side with the area generating free radicals.

As we age, our bodies are not able to produce enough Coenzyme Q10, therefore a supplement can be taken to compensate. These supplements help the production of energy in all cells of the body and serve as a protection for cells from free radical damage. It is a vital supplement because this nutrient supports healthy aging. For example, cholesterol-lowering medications can deplete natural CoQ10 nutrient levels in the body, therefore, causing premature aging; supplementation of this nutrient will not interfere with these cholesterol-lowering medications and will provide the necessary energy to the cells to fight free radicals.

Aside from being an antioxidant which helps in the battle against aging, this nutrient has also:

*proven beneficial to migraine headache sufferers, although research is still being conducted;
*been studied for cancer treatment and relief from cancer treatment side-effects;
*shown that it protects the brain from debilitating diseases, such as Parkinson's;
*shown positive results in lowering blood pressure;
*helped in the recovery of cardiac arrest patients;
*shown positive results in gum disease.

Coenzyme Q10 is sold as a dietary supplement and not a drug, therefore it is not regulated by the US Food and Drug Association. Always check with your doctor before taking any medication or supplement to ensure it will not interfere with any medical condition or medication(s) you are taking.
