Coenzyme Q10 - The Other Vitamin
Have you ever heard of "Vitamin Q" or "Vitamin coenzyme Q 10"? The startling fact is that coenzyme Q 10 is a vitamin essential to our very lives, yet very few of us have ever heard about it until recently. Discovered in 1957 by Dr. Fred Crane at the University of Wisconsin, Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient necessary to the functioning of every cell in our bodies. Our bodies could not survive without Coenzyme Q10. If body levels start dropping, so does our general health. Scientists have estimated that once body levels of CoQ10 drop below the 25% deficiency levels, many health problems begin to flourish, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, angina, immune system depression, periodontal problems, lack of energy, weight gain, and even early death! A 75% drop in CoQ10 levels is fatal.
