Description
CoQ10 acts within the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells, facilitating the creation of ATP, the main fuel powering cellular functions. As we age, CoQ10 levels naturally decline, potentially contributing to decreased cellular energy and a decline in overall health.
This decline in CoQ10 is thought to be associated with various age-related conditions. Reduced CoQ10 levels have been linked to heart disease, a leading cause of death worldwide. Additionally, research suggests CoQ10 deficiency may play a role in cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Given its role in cellular energy production and its potential connection to age-related diseases, CoQ10 has emerged as a promising candidate for a longevity supplement. Studies have shown that CoQ10 supplementation can improve heart health in certain individuals, particularly those with existing heart conditions. Furthermore, some research suggests CoQ10 may offer cognitive benefits and play a role in reducing fatigue.
