Coenzyme Q10 [COQ10] - The Miracle Nutrient


Only a few nutrients have an encompassing benefit to the body. Among them is green tea, and another one is Vitamn D.

But there is one nutrient in the group, Coenzyme Q10 [COQ10], which is so vital for our health. You will see the reason why as you read on.

COQ10, which is found in every single cell in the body, is essential in creating the needed energy needed for the cells to function properly. The heart, brain, kidney, liver, and pancreas, which have the highest energy requirements, also have the most concentrations of this nutrient.


COQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant and immunity booster. Research has looked at COQ10's impact on almost everything from cancer to heart disease, proving its wide-ranging benefits. [Search Amazon.com for Coenzyme Q10]

Here are some of the ways COQ10 improves our health;

helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol
reduces chest pain
lowers the risk of a second heart attack
improves the health of diabetics
strengthens the immune system
slows the progression of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
improves fertility in men
helps relieve chronic fatigue syndrome
reduces the frequency of migraines
slows the progression of breast cancer tumors
fights gum disease
enhances overall energy

In addition, COQ10 seems to delay the aging process, according to a study which that found patients with the most COQ10, survived the longest.

COQ10 in cells, however, decreases as a person ages, leaving him/her vulnerable to cardiac disease and brain impairment. It's a must to supplement with COQ10, most especially after breaking past 50 years of age. [Search Amazon.com for Coenzyme Q10]

If you still don't have health issues, a minimum of 30 mg daily, with meals containing small amounts of fat to aid in its absorption, is recommended. If you have been diagnosed with heart disease, or diabetes, increase the dosage to at least 100 mg per day, taken in divided doses. But if you're already on statins or beta-blocker drugs, it is strongly advised that the dosage be further increased to at least 200 mg daily because said drugs interfere with the body's production of COQ10.

Don't hesitate to add COQ10 to your daily supplements, together with green tea and Vitamin D. This one small step is a giant leap toward better health, and renewed and sustained energy.
