FITS Coenzyme Q10 capsules 100 mg 30 pcs

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a compound that normally occurs naturally in the energy-producing center known as the mitochondrion. CoQ10 is involved in the creation of an important molecule, ATP. ATP is the cell's main source of energy and powers many biological processes, including muscle contraction and protein production. CoQ10 also works as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that scavenge free radicals, damaging compounds that alter cell membranes, modify DNA, and even cause cell death. Free radicals are believed to cause aging and promote several health disorders such as heart disease or cancer. Antioxidants like CoQ10 can neutralize free radicals and so can reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause. The benefits of CoQ10 come from the following two properties. First, CoQ10 is an important fat-soluble antioxidant that can uniquely protect the cell's energy-producing organelle known as the mitochondrion from damage caused by free radicals. Second, CoQ10 is an important component in all cells of the body for energy production. Although CoQ10 is also found in animal and plant cells, various food products do not provide it in sufficient amounts.

Benefits of coenzyme Q10:

• The most important application of CoQ10 is the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and related disorders affecting the heart, including atherosclerosis.
• Reduces the frequency of angina episodes and strengthens heart muscles and increases quality of life and endurance in those suffering from heart failure.
• CoQ10 has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure.
• Doctors have used CoQ10 to treat breast cancer and to support the health of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
• One of the potential benefits for diabetics is that CoQ10 can help with insulin production.
• CoQ10 has been used to treat muscular dystrophy and gum disease with good results. Both diseases are associated with CoQ10 deficiency.
• Patients with Parkinson's disease may benefit from taking CoQ10.
• Obesity can be associated with CoQ10 deficiency.
• CoQ10 has been associated with increased sperm count, improved sperm motility, and increased chances of conception.
• Also important is the fact that CoQ10 can protect against the side effects of medications such as beta blockers and some antipsychotics.
• CoQ10 levels are usually lower in people with high cholesterol than in people of the same age. In addition, certain cholesterol-lowering medications (such as atorvastatin, cerivastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin) appear to decrease CoQ10 levels in the body.
• CoQ10 may help prevent certain heart damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs (adriamycin or other athracycline drugs).
