CoQ10 is found naturally in every cell in the body. It is a fat soluble vitamin that is an antioxidant and vital for energy metabolism. Since CoQ10 levels may deplete as we get older or we do not get enough of this vitamin from our diets, we strongly encourage our patients to take CoQ10 daily, especially if they are taking statin drugs. Adequate levels of CoQ10 can improve cardiovascular health, increase energy levels, boost the immune system and may lower high blood pressure.

It is thought to produce the benefits of the “French Paradox”.
