Answer
Coenzyme Q10, a substance known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance that is found throughout foods and in our cells. Ubiquinone -- means everywhere.
It is made in the body from a protein called, tyrosine but as we get older, some of us have lower levels.
Supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 has been shown in studies to decrease blood pressure slightly in those with high blood pressure. It has also been studied for slowing dementia, and reducing angina, symptoms associated with heart failure and other symptoms associated with heart -related illnesses.
Other small studies have shown benefits in improving gum disease when Coenzyme Q10 is placed on the gums or in the mouth. It has also been studied in women with breast cancer, others with AIDS, kidney failure, miagraines, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and Huntington's disease. Other studies need to be conducted to determine if coenzyme Q10 can benefit in these areas.
