Why is CoQ10 worth taking?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is naturally produced and found in every cell of your body, with the highest concentrations in your organs with the greatest energy demands like your heart, kidneys, lungs and liver. It works hard to protect cells against oxidative damage, which is associated with the ageing process and many age-related conditions.

Causes of CoQ10 deficiency include ageing resulting in oxidative stress, the side effects of taking statins, smoking, nutritional deficiencies like vitamin B6, and genetic defects in CoQ10 synthesis or utilisation.

Since CoQ10 production decreases with age, all adults can benefit from more of it. Supplementing with CoQ10 is extremely beneficial for areas of your body that experience oxidative damage. The brain is prone to oxidative damage due to its high fatty acid content and high oxygen demand. In a study of 420 people with heart failure, treatment with CoQ10 for two years supported their cardiovascular health.

Additionally, oxidative stress can affect muscle function and exercise performance. CoQ10 can help with this, promoting exercise capacity and decreasing fatigue.

CoQ10 is one of the most important nutrients to produce energy in your cells. GO LIFE Co-Q10 Ubiquinol 100mg is a high-potency CoQ10 supplement, supplied in the superior ubiquinol form.
