Now CoQ10 Can Help You Too
Over the years of working in different health food stores, I met a great number of people that told me success stories about coq10. When they told me about the benefits of this supplement, most of the time I had to hold back a smile. I had already researched this interesting, naturally occurring substance that exist in our bodies as babies. However, I had to make sure that I listened intently to what they had to say.
I know I probably sounded arrogant in that last paragraph, but I was fortunate enough to not only work in the health food industry, but I also had a boss that encouraged us to learn more and more about the products we sold.
After a few years, I had a chance to work with a nutritionist. This was a humbling experience. She quickly taught me that all of the book knowledge I had acquired about supplements while I put my way through college was only a small part of what I needed to know.
Coq10 has many benefits for a lot of different people. Some people have found coq10 benefits to help with cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s and other ailments. Much research has been done with coq10 and it has also been shown to help energize cells in the brain. Now who couldn’t use more “brain energy” from time to time?
The older we get, the more we need additional coq10 in our bodies. When we are born, we have a good supply it, but as we age our bodies produce less. Some statin drugs like Zocor and Lipitor may also decrease the enzyme that creates coq10. This means that if you take a statin for cholesterol, it is very important to ask your doctor whether a product like Now Foods Coq10 would be a good choice for you.
