The Healthy Benefits of Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 has exploded onto the health scene. This powerful

mineral has many health saving properties. It is responsible for

essential chemical reactions in your body as well as being a

dynamite antioxidant.



What's more, Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 occurs naturally in your body,

(and that's good), but unfortunately, as you age, have

nutritional deficiencies or get sick you are producing less of

this essential mineral.



And check this out...studies show that an estimated 25%

deficiency will cause serious metabolic health problems. At 75%,

death will follow and that would mean no more birthday cake for

you!



CoQ10 plays a key role in the production of adenosine

triphosphate (ATP) needed for energy production in every cell. It

also has a powerful antioxidant that helps guard against damage

from free radicals.



And that is just for starters, cardiologist Peter Langsjorn

explains "Like the vitamins discovered in the early part of this

century, CoQ10 is an essential element of food that can now be

used medically."



It gets even better...



Here are just a few of the health benefits:



Weight Loss - stimulates your bodies metabolism



Healthy Gums - suppresses gingival inflammation



Male Fertility - improves sperm mobility and protects

free radical injury



Cardiovascular - improvement of symptoms in cardiac and

congestive heart failure patients



Immune System - significantly enhances function



In various other studies CoQ10 was a tremendous benefit in

lowering high blood pressure and helped with angina and

congestive heart failure.



So you may be asking yourself, "Wow, where do I find this

stuff??" well, good news and bad news. A small amount, 10 to 20

milligrams of CoQ10, can be found in fish and organ meats of

animals. Well...that slowed me down a little! I don't like organ

meats of animals, do you? Yuck! Here is another solution. An

easily available source of this nutrient is in many high quality

nutritional systems.



Safe scientific formulated blends of vitamins and minerals

including CoQ10 are specially formulated for maximum absorption.

For adults taking Coenzyme Q10 in a supplement, the optimal

amount should be between 30 and 90 mg per day. Under a doctors

care, higher amounts may be prescribed.



Regardless of age or health almost everybody would benefit from

taking CoQ10 daily. Our health and quality of life are based on

feeling good and having healthy energy supplies.



And really people... this is so much better for your energy

levels than a cigarette and a diet soda!
