Co Q10 Benefits

Co q10 is a very popular supplement and though a bit more expensive than other antioxidants, many praise it for helping with important areas of concern including diabetes, gingivitis and congestive heart issues.

Co q 10 is found in body tissues of the heart, liver, pancreas and other organs. It is also something that decreases in our body with age.

One exciting study has been testing coq10 with people suffering from early Parkinson's disease. There was a 40 percent slower progression of the disease for those on a high dose of this supplement compared to those on the placebo.

Many Japanese physicians recommend coq10 to patients for their hearts. A UK study has found significant improvement both in the thickness of the left ventricular wall of the heart and mitral valve flow.

Researches have found that statins (medications that lower cholesterol) lower the amount of coq10 in the body and this has been discussed by experts as a concern.
