Why is Q10 Required?
As we grow older our own production of Q10 decilnes and heart disease can also deprive the body of Q101, which is why a daily supplement of Q10 can be beneficial. Twelve weeks of statins or HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors treatment lowered body initial Q10 values by 50-54%2. Statins are new safe and effective cholesterol-lowering agents. On the basis of 35 years of research by international investigators, heart failure is now knwon to be caused by a dominant deficiency of coenzyme Q101,3. In addition, Q10 is virtually free of side-effects, does not intefere with surgical treatments and does not intefere with commonly prescribed medications4.
