How CoQ10 Works

Cells within the body use CoQ10 for maintenance and growth. Specifically, within the cell, it is believed that the mitochondria use CoQ10 as one of their sources of fuel and energy. This is important to understand because mitochondria themselves are considered the “powerhouse” of the cell, so if they use CoQ10 for fuel, effectively, the whole cell may rely to some degree on CoQ10 for energy and proper functioning. 

Mitochondria that are not functioning properly have, in some cases, been shown to have depleted levels of CoQ10. The result is fatigue and other issues.

CoQ10 is also found in certain meats and grains. The problem, however, if that CoQ10 does not exist within foods at the level of which is believed to be effective in treating ailments like heart disease and others.

As it stands today, Parkinson’s is still an incurable disease that affects many older individuals as well as others.   Migraines or Headaches: Migraines and or regularly occurring headaches can range from minor to major. For some, these occurrences may just be small inconveniences, but others may encounter severe, debilitating migraines on a fairly regular basis. These people may have trouble working, have trouble focusing, and experience great amounts of pain on a regular basis. The fact is, Migraines are more serious than they may initially seem.Physical or Mental Performance: CoQ10 is believed to have a positive impact on both physical and mental performance.

There you have it, CoQ10 is a naturally occurring coenzyme and antioxidant that exists and plays a vital role in the body. More and more people have begun supplementing CoQ10 as they believe the product has some impressive health benefits, including improving the appearance of the skin, improving cardiovascular health, aiding athletic performance, increasing energy, and more.
