Hi Everyone,

Sheila Alexander

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while.  I am back now and I wanted to talk a little bit about CoQ10.

CoQ10.  Some may have heard of it, others may not have.  But I’m here with some information about it, to share with all of you!  CoQ10 is also known as coenzyme Q10.  When we’re young, our bodies produce it adequately, but as we age our bodies produce less and less, and it’s in every one of our cells, however production varies in different parts of the body and from person to person.  Now, lets get right down into the really important info, shall we?

CoQ10 is an important little substance, because it helps do a few things.  It helps our cell membranes remain healthy and strong, helps the mitochondria in our cells produce energy so we can keep functioning.  Doing this helps our cells divide and multiply, which in turn helps us build up our immune system to keep us healthy.  Aces to CoQ10 for that!  CoQ10 can also be consumed as part of a daily diet. High concentrations can be found in fish and meat.

Now, lets jump track a bit and I’ll talk about some CoQ10 benefits and deficiencies.  It helps ensure that our bodies is able to produce the energy we need to carry out our daily lives fighting fit and in good health. CoQ10 concentrations are highest in the heart, but large amounts are also used by other major organs, such as the liver.  CoQ10 has some powerful antioxidant properties too, helping to quickly deal with all imposing antigens that enter your body.  However, because the chemical process involved with producing CoQ10 is extremely complex, many people suffer CoQ10 deficiencies. A deficiency of CoQ10 will be reflected by the condition of the heart and other major organs. Deficiency likelihood increases with age, as does the risk of many other ailments. CoQ10 benefits are best enjoyed by the young, looking to keep their bodies healthy. Always remember to include regular consumption and monitoring during early and ongoing adulthood to reduce the risk of a Coenzyme Q10 deficiency and to help keep more serious illnesses and diseases at bay, helping you live healthier for longer.  Good news, right?  But keep in mind if you have any heart health concerns or issues, consider increasing the CoQ10 in your diet. Before taking any serious or long term diet changes or supplements, you should ALWAYS consider any potential side effects, and check for any health related warnings.  On that note, lets hear about some of those side effects.

Now we all know that any individual taking any substances (legal or otherwise), dietary supplements or herbal supplements that affect the body’s blood sugars MUST consult professional medical advice before making any changes. Otherwise, it could make things go badly or worse if they’re already bad.  So be careful!  Co-enzyme Q10 has been known to alter blood glucose levels in some rare cases.  I’m sure it also goes without saying that obviously, anyone with diabetes or hypoglycemia should consult with their health specialist (relating specifically to these conditions) before changing their diet to include increased CoQ10 consumption.  Also of note is that CoQ10 has also been known to cause lower blood pressure than usual in some patients. It is advised anyone with low blood pressure, or those taking blood pressure medication should consult medical advice before increasing CoQ10 intake so as to not exacerbates any issues.

If unrelated medication poses a possible side effect of low blood pressure, or if you are unsure whether you should increase your CoQ10 levels, seek medical advice. Better safe than sorry I always say. You want something that’s going to work with you to improve your body, not contribute to its demise, so shop safely for any and all supplements and I hope this blog post helps!
