Q10

Q10 (Coenzyme Q10/Lecithin) combines two active components into a single capsule. This dietary supplement may be of special benefit to middle aged and elderly people, and is also used by athletes, those who lead an active lifestyle and anyone else who requires an energy boost. One of the ingredients in this dietary supplement (referred to as CoQ-10) is a substance which occurs naturally in the body that is similar in nature to a vitamin. It also exhibits antioxidant properties.

Many people believe that it increases energy, and this may be due to its supposed important role in the conversion of food into energy. Some researchers also think that it can fight free radicals (molecules which can cause damage to cells and DNA). These free radicals may also contribute to cancer, aging and heart disease. By neutralizing these molecules, it may help to offset the harm that they can cause.

Patients affected by conditions including hypertension, periodontal disease, AIDS or other conditions may have low CoQ10 levels. Some people take substances such as this one to help with their condition, and other people merely take it for its energy boosting properties. Research has suggested possible benefits for Parkinson`s disease, improving male fertility, preventing migraines, relieving CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), improving the immune system and other conditions not listed here.
