The human body is made up of trillions of cells, each one working around the clock to make the body work in the clockwork way that it does. These trillion cells are essentially fueled by CoQ10 that acts as a catalyst for the manufacturing of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a unit of energy that ultimately feeds the cells.

As a person ages, their production of natural CoQ10 decreases. This decrease shows in the body as you age as well, you just see the effects and do not know what causes it. With the decrease of your Coenzyme Q10 production you have less energy, your skin begins to wrinkle and your blood pressure can increase.

CoQ10's main purpose is to fuel the body's cells, but it also acts as a combatant against cells that are referred to as "free radicals".

Free radicals are cells that have become unstable within our bodies. In efforts to gain stability, the unstable cells attempt to grab onto the stable cells. Instead of gaining stability by doing this, the cells cause the the other cells to become free radicals as well.

Although this instability of cells sounds like a bouncing child mistakenly pulling another child down with them - the consequences of free radicals in our bodies is vastly different. Many of these free radicals can develop into certain diseases or illnesses.

The effects of Coenzyme Q10 has become the focus of many medical trials that involve medical conditions such as:

• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Cardiovascular Illnesses
• Gingivitis
• Cardiac Arrest
• Chest Pain
• Heart Attacks
• High Blood Pressure
• Chronic Migraines
• Obesity

Coenzyme Q10, comes in a supplement version, but it can also be incorporated into your diet; however, to get the levels that a supplement supplies would be difficult. This diet would involve eating plenty of beef muscle, beef heart and eggs which contain plenty of cholesterol and saturated fats. Coenzyme Q10 can also be found in very small quantities such as spinach, a few grains, beans and specific oils.
