Why is coenzyme Q10 important? Also known as CoQ10, it is beneficial for cardiac health, due to its ability to energize cells within the heart and throughout the entire body. If cardiac health issues run in your family, you would do well to investigate this valuable supplement.
What is coenzyme Q10? It is a compound produced within the liver and central to the metabolic performance of all human cells. Unfortunately, production of this indispensable enzyme begins to decline as people reach their twenties. It can plummet to as low as 50% by the age of 80. For many a deficiency can be compounded by statin use, a prescription drug taken by one in ten Canadian adults.
Can you take CoQ10 if taking statins? Prescription statins can impair CoQ10 production, so daily supplementing is a proactive way to avoid deficiency. Cardiologists regularly recommend CoQ10 supplements to reduce statin side effects and support healthy cardiovascular function.
Can CoQ10 reduce migraines? Clinical studies show that coenzyme Q10 acts as a preventative measure for reducing the frequency of migraine headaches and associated nausea and vomiting. It is not a quick-fix pain reliever; it must be taken regularly over time, with benefits visible after a period of 90 days.
Is coenzyme Q10 well absorbed by the body? As coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble nutrient, our CoQ10 is blended with coconut-sourced medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to maximize absorption. Easy-to-swallow softgels can be taken with or without food, so you can take it whenever it is most convenient. Our CoQ10 is naturally fermented, gluten-free, and non-GMO.
