Do you sometimes hear about supplements…and not really understand their function? I do and often will do some research—rather than just jump on the bandwagon and assume I need that particular supplement. I have heard about CoQ-10 for a long time and vaguely knew it had something to do with the heart, but recently I decided I needed to know more.
Mayo Clinic gives this explanation of CoQ-10:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is made in the human body. CoQ10 is needed for basic cell function. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and may be low in people with cancer, certain genetic disorders, diabetes, heart conditions, HIV/AIDS, muscular dystrophies, and Parkinson’s disease. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.
