Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant similar to Life Sources’ powerful antioxidant, OPC-165™. It plays a crucial role in the generating of cellular energy, is a significant immunologic stimulant, increases circulation, has anti-aging effects, and is beneficial for the cardiovascular system.

Research has revealed that supplemental coenzyme Q10 has the ability to counter histamine, and therefore is beneficial for people with allergies, asthma and respiratory disease. It is used by many health care professionals to treat anomalies of mental function such as those associated with schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. It is also beneficial in fighting obsesity, candidiasis, MS, and diabetes.

In addition to its use in fighting cardiovascular disease, coenzyme Q10 has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality in experimental animals afflicted with tumors and leukemia. Some doctors give their patients coenzyme Q10 to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

The amount of coenzyme Q10 present in the body declines with age, so it should be supplemented in the diet, especially by people who are over the age of 30. Because the RDA has not been established, taking 100 milligrams may be considered. Always seek the advice of a health care practitioner who is knowledgeable in natural health.
