Quick Overview of CoQ10 (Ubiquinone)
CoQ10 or Coenzyme Q10 is also known as ubiquinone, so named because the stuff is found almost everywhere in the body! One of its most well-known benefits is the support that CoQ10 provides to the health of the heart and the cardiovascular system in general. Studies have shown that CoQ10 levels may indicate the survival rates of those with advanced heart disease and also support recovery from heart surgery and cardiac events.*
But CoQ10 isn’t just for the heart! CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and as such is effective and preventing oxidative damage to the nervous system which may be linked to reductions in the occurrence of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. CoQ10 has also shown promise as a support for reproductive ability, especially in older subjects, increasing fertility in both men and women. There may even be evidence that CoQ10 could reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches.*
