I was reminded, once again, over the weekend, how essential CoQ10 is to our bodies, and especially, our cells.  Every cell uses CoQ10 to perform essential daily functions:  immune support, heart support and energy production.  I am taking CoQ10 to help boost my immune system and to help fight an infection.  I gave a couple of drops of CoQ10 to a cat over the weekend, who was fighting some sort of seizure activity.  It can be used in all sorts of contexts and situations.  Please ask if you have questions! 

Manufactured in our bodies, coenzyme Q10 is a combination vitamin and enzyme that is vital to specific physiological functions. Working at the cellular level, coenzyme Q10 has been found to be an integral part of energy production through mitochondrial function. In fact, it is the catalyst that initiates the Krebs cycle, the process whereby nutrients from foods are converted to ATP. It also works in the electron transport system to ensure complete respiration from the lungs into the depth of the cells by facilitating the transport of ATP.

Practitioners have used coenzyme Q10 supplementation to support low levels of this nutrient in cases of muscle weakness and degeneration, as well as in cases of pain and chronic inflammation. It has also been used for heart conditions, as it has been known to have a relaxing effect on arteries and veins. In Japan, it has been used since the mid 1970s for heart failure based on the premise that the heart muscle itself is nourished by coenzyme Q10, which may help it to pump more forcefully.

Coenzyme Q10 is vital to energy production everywhere in the body and low levels could adversely affect many bodily functions. Energetix provides CoQ10 in liquid form using vitamin E as the carrier for easy assimilation.
