The Role of CoQ10 in Heart Health

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance that helps generate energy in cells and has antioxidant properties. It is found naturally in the body and in foods like meat, fish, and whole grains. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and in people with certain conditions, including heart disease. Supplementing with CoQ10 may improve heart function and reduce symptoms of heart failure. It also helps protect the heart from oxidative damage. Consult with a healthcare provider before starting CoQ10 supplements to determine the appropriate dosage and ensure safety.
