CoQ10

After fish oil, CoQ10 (short for Coenzyme Q10) is the supplement we recommend most for heart health. CoQ10 is a molecule that all muscle cells need to produce energy. Heart muscle is especially depended on CoQ10, as the heart beats constantly and has high energy requirements. CoQ10 production in the body often diminishes with age. This is part of why many of us experience diminished energy levels with each passing decade. It may also contribute to our risk of heart attacks as we age.

Statin drugs and many other prescription medications deplete levels of CoQ10 and may cause severe CoQ10 deficiencies in your body. If you have any heart health concerns, if you are on a statin, or if you take a number of non-statin prescription drugs talk with your doctor about adding CoQ10. CoQ10 is also a great supplement for anyone looking to improve energy levels and cardiovascular health generally. Because CoQ10 helps with energy production, it can improve the efficiency of virtually every system in your body. CoQ10 is a great supplement for men over 30 and women over 40 interested in heart health, better energy levels, and general well-being.
