Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is essential for energy production and regulation, as well as helping to maintain sufficient acid balance of cells. As Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant that protects against oxidation of the body tissue and prevents free radical damage to cells and organs. But coenzyme Q10 can be synthesized by the body and found in some foods, some patients may need to take coenzyme Q10 supplements.
Cardiovascular Conditions
Coenzyme Q10 may prevent the development of plaque in arteries by preventing oxidation of the lipids leading to atherosclerosis. Prevention of atherosclerosis can help prevent a number of heart conditions, including heart failure (CHF) and myocardial infarction, or heart attack. Moreover, coenzyme Q10 can help to lower blood pressure and prevent angina by promoting blood vessel relaxation.
Mitochondrial myopathy
A number of rare genetic conditions called mitochondrial myopathies can cause defects in the mitochondria, which works to produce cellular energy. Some of these diseases can be lack of natural coenzyme Q10 …show more content…
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder causing movement disorder. Coenzyme Q10 may help reduce the development of Parkinson's disease, particularly in the early stages. Huntington's disease, an inherited neurodegenerative disease usually occurs in the mid-40, causes the movement and cognitive impairment. Coenzyme Q10 can in animal models has been shown to decrease brain lesion size and improve coordination and behavioral symptoms. Freidrichs Ataxia is also an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that feeling and movement functions are lost, and the development of cardiomyopathy. Coenzyme Q10 can help reduce cardiomyopathy and restore nerve function by improving mitochondrial
