No doubt you’ve heard of CoQ10’s health benefits, especially
concerning the heart. In fact, many researchers believe that
CoQ10 can help with heart-related conditions due to how it
improves energy production in cells, prevents clot formation and
acts as a powerful antioxidant. Studies have found CoQ10
particularly helpful in avoiding heart failure, swelling in the
legs, labored breathing due to fluid in the lungs, subsequent
heart attacks and chest pains as well as high blood pressure and
high cholesterol levels. CoQ10 isn’t found only in the heart,
though. It’s actually found everywhere—in every cell—in the
body. In general, coenzymes such as CoQ10 assist enzymes in
digesting food, performing other bodily processes and in
protecting the heart and skeletal muscles. To review, the body
produces CoQ10, and although your body requires it for cell
growth and maintenance, CoQ10 levels decrease as you age,
particularly in areas such as the heart and liver. Truth be
