Co-Enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like substance found in every energy-producing cell of the human body. It plays a major role in the production of energy with its role in the manufacturing of ATP, especially in the heart; it helps this organ beat more than 100,000 times each day. CoQ10 provides the cells with the energy they need to digest food, heal wounds and help maintain healthy muscles. In addition, CoQ10 acts as an intracellular antioxidant, helping to neutralise free radical damage and also works in conjunction with vitamin E. Statin medication is prescribed to lower cholesterol by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase, a liver enzyme as part of the melvonate pathway. Like cholesterol, CoQ10 is an end product of this pathway and, as a result of the reduction of this enzyme, the longterm use of statin drugs lead to CoQ10 depletion in the body. Supplementing with CoQ10 can assist in replenishing blood levels of CoQ10.
