Co-Enzyme Q10

CoQ10 is present in high concentrations in your heart, brain and all your major organs. You may perhaps already know that CoQ10 helps to generate much needed energy. But its levels start dropping at the age of 20 and are reported to be lowest in stroke and heart attack victims.

By the time you’re 80, most of your CoQ10 has disappeared. And that’s bad news…

In addition to supplying energy, CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant. The “slow burn” we use for fuel damages tissues like fire burns everything it contacts. The action of CoQ10’s antioxidant power puts out this fire and protects your organs and tissues from damage.

Aside from giving your heart and brain the extra fuel it needs to keep working, it preserves them and keeps them in working order for much longer.

New research is opening up a new world of CoQ10 benefits. These include:

Blood Sugar: An Australian study found that patients with type II diabetes who took CoQ10 showed improved blood sugar control.1

Vision and Eye Health: A recent clinical trial showed adults with early macular degeneration who supplemented with a combination of CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine, and omega-3 fatty acids for one year improved their visual function.2

Allergies: Researchers in Texas found low CoQ10 levels in people suffering from rhinitis and other allergies; they believe that further studies will show that CoQ10 can manage a wide array of allergy syndromes.3

Gum Health: CoQ10 improves the gum health of people suffering from periodontal disease, and speeds tissue healing following periodontal surgery.4

Migraines: 32 patients with migraines were treated with CoQ10 daily. More than 60 percent of the patients experienced a 50 percent or greater reduction in the number of days they suffered headaches. After three months, the frequency of their migraines fell by an average of 55 percent.5
