Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 supports our body’s production of energy and promotes healthy aging. It is found in the mitochondria of our cells, typically known as the “powerhouse” of the cell by helping us generate usable energy for our muscles. This in turn can support our energy levels and stamina during exercise.
As we age, our levels of CoQ10 tend to decline. Supplementation can help support the healthy function of our heart, brain, liver and muscles through the increased function in our
mitochondria. Many benefits can include:
● Healthy blood vessels and blood pressure levels
● Neurological support
● Skin Health
● Immune System function
● Improved Inflammatory Response
CoQ10 also plays a key role with the antioxidant, glutathione. By increasing its activity, we can better fight off oxidation and cellular damage which can have negative long term effects on our health.
Medications like statin drugs for cholesterol can potentially cause a decrease in our CoQ10 levels. For this reason, some people choose to supplement with CoQ10. This is not medical advice but food for thought if you feel inclined to ask your doctor regarding supplementation from certain medications.
The CoQ10 offered by Thorne is designed for optimal absorption so you get the most out of your supplement. Other supplemental forms of CoQ10 may not be utilized by the body as effectively. As always, check with your doctor before adding any supplement to your regimen.
