Coenzyme Q-10 Benefits

Coenzyme Q-10 or Co Q-10 is a nutritional supplement with a lot of value.  It is really good for the heart, and it should be added to any person diet who either has a CO Q-10 deficiency or a Mitochondrial disorder, which is a inherited or acquired disorder that limits the energy production in the bodies cells.

However, even if you don't have these things, co q-10 can help the body with a whole bunch of other things.  In addition to helping mitochondrial disorders, co q-10 is effective in treating :

• Congestive heart failure (CHF), in combination with other medications.
• Decreasing the risk of additional heart problems in people who have had a recent heart attack (myocardial infarction).
• Huntington's disease.
• Preventing blood vessel complications caused by heart bypass surgery.
• High blood pressure (hypertension) in combination with other medications.
• Preventing migraine headache.
• Parkinson's disease. Some research shows that taking coenzyme Q-10 supplements might slow functional decline in people with early Parkinson's disease. But taking a coenzyme Q-10 supplement in people with mid-stage Parkinson's disease does not seem to improve symptoms.
• Improving the immune system of people with HIV/AIDS.
• Muscular dystrophy, an inherited disorder involving muscle wasting.

Co Q-10 has very few side effects that could include, loss of appetite or upset stomach.  But, it is pretty much a safe supplement, that can be given to children.  It is also relatively inexpensive, and can be found at most nutrition stores or some drug stores.  You should add co-q 10 to your supplement stack today!
