The Connection Between CoQ10 and Heart Health

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally, however levels of CoQ10 in your body decreases as you age. Also, CoQ10 levels get affected when taking cholesterol lowering agents such as statins. CoQ10 has potential benefits that include protecting against free radicals, helping fight fatigue, enhancing the immune and nervous system, protecting against free radicals, helping with bleeding gums/gingivitis, it contains antioxidants, and may improve heart function.

Nutritional tip- when taking CoQ10 it should be natural CoQ10 chewable and dissolve in cheeks (buccal absorption) where the absorption is 300% greater than swallowing a capsule.
