The One Supplement I Never Miss Taking-
CO-Q10
by Melanie Segala
As a writer and
editor in the health field for many years, I’m often asked for
advice from people who want to start a supplement program.
Without question, the one supplement that’s absolutely at the
top of my list is CoQ10. I take 200 mg every morning and know
it’s working to produce energy in every cell in my body,
especially my heart.
Here’s what I mean…
Before I began taking CoQ10, I’d usually fall into a 2 o’clock
slump at work. No matter how much sleep I got the night before,
my brain felt foggy and I barely had enough energy to get
through the rest of the day. I looked forward to weekends,
simply to get more sleep. I felt like I was on my way to old
age.
That was before. But this is now…
I get 7 hours of sleep every night and have more than enough
energy to work all day, make a 50-minute commute home, do some
stretching exercises, cook dinner, and spend quality time with
my husband.
On weekends, I clean the house, run errands, make phone calls,
and look forward to our Saturday "date night." Extra sleep is
the last thing on my mind. Who’s old? Not me!
If that’s not enough, here are the other life-saving benefits
you get from CoQ10:
It’s an essential co-factor your body needs to derive
energy. You can’t survive without it.
It’s the very best "medicine" you can take for congestive heart
failure according to Dr. Al Sears. It also regulates your heart
rhythm, clears your arteries, lowers your blood pressure, and
reduces high cholesterol
It’s a powerful antioxidant that protects your immune cells from
free radical damage and even boosts their cancer fighting
ability.
It generates energy in the brain and may protect against
neurological diseases and even memory loss.
Applied topically or taken orally, it helps prevent gum disease
and tooth loss.
While people in their 20s almost always have enough of this
essential nutrient, deficiencies are common in people over 40.
And that’s one of the reasons we start feeling "old" and getting
sick.
Here’s a great story from Dr. Sears on the "miracle" CoQ10
performed on one of his patients.
A retired chorus line dancer came to his clinic for the first
time with high blood pressure — even though she was taking two
blood pressure medications and a statin drug. She felt constant
fatigue and had increased trouble with her memory. When Dr.
Sears measured her CoQ10 levels, he found it was 95% lower than
most of the population. After taking 200 mg of a CoQ10
supplement daily for two months, she was able to stop both blood
pressure medications.
Remarkably, she now maintains a normal blood pressure without
medications. She also says she feels "energized for the first
time in decades" and reports a sharper memory.
Did you notice that the woman was taking a cholesterol-lowering
statin drug? It’s part of the reason she was so dangerously
depleted of CoQ10. Cholesterol-lowering statin drugs rob you of
it. And most doctors don’t know, or don’t bother telling their
patients when they prescribe a statin. Dr. Sears advises people
who take statin drugs to supplement with at least 100 mg per day
of CoQ10.
Organ meats are the primary food sources of CoQ10. And organ
meats from grass-fed beef or wild game are the highest. They
contain ten times more CoQ10 than grain-fed animals. But how
many people eat these foods? If you’re like nearly 100% of the
population, you’re not getting enough CoQ10 from your diet.
That’s why a supplement is so important.
I hope I’ve convinced you about the power of CoQ10. Whether you
take statin drugs or not, make CoQ10 a part of your daily
nutrition program. It really is the "miracle" nutrient.
