Every cell in the body system has coenzyme q10 present. COQ10 is very important in the generation of energy because it is the nutrient envolved in the production of ATP. For example the heart muscle has 5,000 energy generators called mitochondria and each generator needs coenzyme q10 to do it’s job.
The type of coenzyme q10 found working at the cell level is ubiquinol. Until just recently the only type of supplement coenzyme q10 was ubiquinone. This unique type was so difficult for the body to absorb that it took large quantities of ubiquinone to make just a tiny amount of ubiquinol. Now however doctors have solved that situation and ubiquinol is readily available.
Statin drugs at this time are taken by millions of people globally . One of the chief side effects of statin drugs is they prevent the creation of coenzyme q10 in the body. So much so that research has now shown that statin end users can be critically deficient because of this and all statin drug takers should be taking a ubiquinol form of coenzyme q10 daily .
Coenzyme is also a powerful super antioxidant primarily at the cell level where toxins in the form of chemicals can cause extensive free radical damage. It is at the cell level where disease begins. Coenzyme q10 benefits the body as an antioxidant which can help discontinue free radical harm to both the cell DNA and the cell itself.
Supplementation is necessary because coq10 is not manufactured well by the body after the age of about 40. Natural sources are attainable in vegetables like broccoli, spinach and kale and are also located in whole grains, wheat germ and peanuts. Substantial studies show that just 150mg of ubiquinol will supply you with the same blood amount as 1,200mg of the old powder form. Most medical experts recommend about 60mg a day of ubiquinol as a preventive and as high as 1000mg for individuals who are attempting to combat a medical condition.
