Co Q-10 as an energy producing enzyme allows the body to use “Mother Nature” to keep “Father Time” at bay. Aging and energy production go hand in hand. The element of aging that results in the outward appearance and internal feeling of time passed is lack of intercellular energy production. Co Q-10 plays a vital role in that capacity on several fronts
In the realm of health and wellness we find that Co Q-10 plays a direct role in heart health even when from a pharmaceutical perspective. Two things that we know of that affect Co Q-10 levels in the body is the aging process and more importantly cholesterol lowering drugs. This class of cholesterol lowering drugs is referred to as statin drugs. The medical community, with it’s focus on all things pharmaceutical, has a tendency to overlook the fact that statin drugs negatively affect Co Q-10 production, thereby, leading to poor heart cell replication. This effect of lower Co Q-10 due to the cholesterol reducing drugs certainly put statin drugs in a bad light. Heart health is compromised by the statin drugs as the lower Co Q-10 levels reduce new heart cell quality. If the Co Q-10 levels are lower in the body then the cellular energy production is also lowered in the cells of the heart. The potential damage that is being done with this class of drugs requires a necessary and common sense approach to preserving your natural heart health by ensuring proficient levels of this all important enzyme.
We, therefore, consider Co Q10 a heart supplement and recommend taking on a daily basis if you are on cholesterol lowering drugs. Even if you aren’t a person with these statin drug issues it is still advantageous to supplement with Co Q-10 tablets to combat the lower production due to the aging process. Everyone will eventually have a Co Q-10 problem in their lifetime simply because of aging and the lack of nutritional components in are current food supply.
Co Q-10 has also proven and effective weapon against muscle aches and weakness as a result of cholesterol lowering drugs. You may want to consult your doctor and have your Co Q-10 levels checked to see if you require additional supplementation.
