Coenzyme Q10
Who needs to take Coenzyme Q10?
Coenzyme Q10 is a pseudo-vitamin that is used in the natural treatment of a variety of disorders primarily related to reduced cellular energy metabolism and oxidative injury. Coenzyme Q10 can assist in preventing migraine headaches, lowering blood pressure, reducing cardiovascular episodes, slowing the progression of early Parkinson’s disease, statin-related myopathy (muscle weakness), and may help reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterol levels in people with diabetes, lowering their risk of heart disease. It may also be effective in improving symptoms in people with congestive heart failure, nerve problems caused by diabetes, Huntington’s disease, muscular dystrophy, or macular degeneration.
