Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a compound that is naturally produced in the body. Found in every cell, CoQ10 is central in the production of energy in the mitochondria, the part of the cells responsible for the production of ATP. CoQ10 is essential for the healthy functioning of many bodily processes, including the cardiovascular system, blood pressure management, neurological health, and diabetes. CoQ10 is also part of an enzyme complex involved in many processes in the body, such as energy production, muscle contraction, and protein synthesis.
Benefits:
*Encourages ATP production and energy
*Maintains healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular functions
*Attacks free radicals and slows aging process
*Supports cognition, memory, and nerve communication
*Protects against neurological diseases
CoQ10 is very beneficial for the cardiovascular system. Heart failures are often attributed to a lack of CoQ10. By increasing energy production in the heart muscle and strengthen the heart’s pumping action, CoQ10 protects against cardiovascular health risks. CoQ10 is also able to help maintain healthy blood pressure, combating hypertension (high blood pressure), and protecting against heart disease. CoQ10 lowers blood pressure and also maintains healthy cholesterol levels.
CoQ10 is also a significant antioxidant source. Antioxidants are compounds that combat free radicals and the process of oxidation. Free radicals harm the body by adding to the development of chronic disease, like cancer and heart disease. Free radicals are cells that have lost their oxygen molecule through oxidation and attack other cells in an effort to regain an oxygen molecule. Without neutralizing free radicals, there is a potential for significant health concerns and accelerated aging. Antioxidants act by neutralizing free radicals, thereby fighting the aging process and degenerative age-related diseases.
Studies have pointed to CoQ10 as an effective defence against neurological health problems. CoQ10 plays an important role in treating and preventing neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease, as well as alleviating migraine symptoms. CoQ10 may ensure proper brain and nervous system health by protecting against damage that reduces cognitive function, memory loss, and nerve communication distortion. Distorted nerve communication can negatively influence all kinds of bodily processes.
