CoQ10 is a cardioprotective nutrient and plays a major role in energy production. Statin drugs (cholesterol lowering) have been shown to reduce the body’s levels of CoQ10 so anyone taking these should seek out a well absorbed CoQ10 supplement. As with many other nutrients, our levels of CoQ10 also lessen as we get older.

Taking CoQ10 regularly has been shown to increase cardiac function and lower angina episodes. CoQ10 may interact with something else you are already taking and comes in many different forms and dosages. It is best for your health to consult a health professional to make sure you are taking an appropriate dose and type and to ensure there will be no interactions which could cause more harm than good.

In general CoQ10 is a very safe and effective way to nourish your heart!
