Youve probably heard about coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). This nutrient is the energy switch that sparks life to all 100 trillion cells in your body. And your heart uses up to 10 times more CoQ10 than any other organ in your body. But unfortunately as you age, your bodys production of CoQ10 begins to slow down. Thats why its important for your continued heart health that you boost your CoQ10 levels.
In numerous scientific studies, CoQ10 has been shown to flood your cells with endless energy restore healthy blood pressure relieve tooth and gum problems shield your brain from memory loss repair damaged cells protect you from free radical damage and put an end to headache pain.
However, the widespread use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs also depletes your CoQ10 levelsby as much as 40 percent in as little as 14 days. Prescription drugs in this category include Lipitor®, Pravachol®, Zocor® and Mevacor®.
But supplementing CoQ10 can produce a significant improvement in your heart health. In fact, studies show that when taking CoQ10, 75 percent of patients have fewer heart rhythm disturbances, 66 percent of patients report diminished chest pain and 50 percent fewer patients suffer from a future cardiac event.
