Coenzyme Q10
Health Benefits
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced in our body naturally. It
is a source of energy in cells. Coenzyme Q10 is also a strong
antioxidant.
Recent studies suggest, that CoQ10 helps to reduce LDL
cholesterol, which is believed to plays a role in developing
atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries).
Another study suggests, that CoQ10 has an ability to lower
systolic blood pressure. However more controlled clinical
studies are needed to demonstrate consistent benefits of taking
Coenzyme Q10 to lower the blood pressure.
CoQ10 may help people with Parkinson's, Huntington's disease
and other brain disorders to reduce the symptoms. Coenzyme Q10
has been shown promising results to slow the functional mental
decline.
A few studies has shown, that Coenzyme Q10 has positive
effect on people with diabetes. However, it is effective
only for small number of diabetic symptoms, not all of them.
