Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like substance that was first discovered in 1956. The body naturally produces co-q10, but the amount produced tends to decline with age. Low blood levels of co-q10 have been correlated with a variety of illnesses, including diabetes, gingivitis, skin disorders, Parkinson’s disease, and many other illnesses. Co-q10 acts as an antioxidant, stimulates metabolism, and supports the cardiovascular system. Although naturally present in some foods, it is now available in a convenient supplement form!
