I've been taking a CoQ10 supplement every morning for a while now. I started taking it after reading about all of the heart health benefits it offers. CoQ10 is one of the most widely studied supplements in history. The japanese have been using it successfully since the '70s for its ability to keep the heart healthy and protect it after surgery.

Yes, its great to know you're keeping your heart healthy but its something that happens behind the scenes. its hard to keep taking any supplement when you can't see a noticeable effect in your every day life. So what keeps me taking it every day? My energy levels are noticeably higher now. What a nice side effect of taking a CoQ10 supplement! After taking it for only a few days, you'll realize that you have more energy than you used to. I'm not talking about the jittery kind of boost you get from coffee that leaves you feeling drained two hours later. You get a nice sustained feeling of extra energy that lasts all day long. You'll have more stamina to enjoy activities too.

Let me give you a little background information about CoQ10 just so you know what it is and why it works so well to promote energy and health.

Besides helping to keep your heart healthy, CoQ10 (also known as CoEnzyme Q10 or Ubiquinone) is also a potent antioxidant and energy booster within all cells, particularly in the heart and brain. its in every cell in your body and is an essential component of the mitochondria, where it helps to metabolize fats and carbohydrates and maintain cell membrane flexibility. CoQ10 is also involved in the production of several key enzymes that are used to create ATP, which is burned by your body for energy, and in the energy transfer between mitochondria and cells. Without CoQ10, you would not be able to walk around or even raise your arm.

Your chances of getting run down due to a lack of CoQ10 rise dramatically as you age. Blood levels of CoQ10 decrease after age 21 and by the age 80 may be lower than at the time of birth. People who suffer from heart disease are likely to have abnormally low levels of CoQ10 in their body. If you take cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) they can be robbing your cells of coQ10, making your more vulnerable to the muscle-weakening side-effects of these drugs. People who take statin drugs sometimes take 100-200 milligrams of CoQ10 daily as insurance against the possibility of developing muscle pain and weakness from lack of coQ10, that can result in disability and even death,

So that's three reasons why you might want to take a CoQ10 supplement. One, its good for the heart. Two, its great for promoting enhanced energy. And three, its a powerful antioxidant that helps to fight cellular damage caused by free radicals in your body.

One other point I'd like to mention is that when choosing a CoQ10 supplement, quality is very important. The highest quality CoQ10 in the world is produced in Japan where the Japanese government oversees a rigorous 16-step manufacturing process. You'll want to make sure your CoQ10 comes from Japan so you know you're getting the absolute best quality supplement you can get.

So if you want to take CoQ10 for your heart and its proven antioxidant properties, great. But I think you'll keep taking it when you see what it does for your energy levels.
