Coenzyme Q10 Protocol
Uses CoQ10, a vitamin-like compound, to support energy production in the mitochondria and protect cells with its antioxidant effects.
Overview
CoQ10 lives inside the power plants of every cell in your body - the mitochondria. It's crucial for efficiently transferring energy within these cellular engines, helping create 95% of the energy your body uses daily. CoQ10 also works as a potent fat-soluble antioxidant, defending your cells against damage from harmful molecules. Unfortunately, your body's CoQ10 production levels decline with age, and common cholesterol medications called statin medications can further deplete these levels. Your heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles contain the highest concentrations because they need the most energy to function properly.
Key Benefits
CoQ10 is crucial for cellular energy production, helping your cells convert food into usable energy. It supports heart health significantly - clinical trials show it can reduce death rates and improve outcomes for people with heart problems. CoQ10 acts as a powerful antioxidant system, protecting your cells from daily wear and tear while supporting natural repair processes. Many people notice improved energy levels and less fatigue, especially those dealing with post-viral fatigue syndromes or age-related tiredness. CoQ10 also supports brain health and may help protect against age-related cognitive decline. Take CoQ10 with fatty meals to improve absorption, and discuss with your healthcare provider if you're on blood thinners or other medications.
