Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is sometimes known as vitamin Q. It is a vitamin-like substance found in many foods & existing in every cell in the body with concentrations in the liver & heart. It plays a part in cell function & is believed to help in the treatment of obesity, diabetes & Alzheimer's disease. The body must have enough Q10 for the nervous system to function efficiently. It stimulates the immune system.

What's good about it:

• Enhances immunity
• Improves the heart muscle metabolism
• May help prevent coronary insufficiency & heart failure
• Antiaging
• Necessary for healthy functioning of nervous system & brain cells
• Boosts energy levels
• Used in treatment of gum disease

Q10 is found rich naturally in organ meats, spinach, polyunsaturated vegetable oils & fish such as tuna & sardines.
