Coenzyme Q10�is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of healthy living cells. CoQ10�is also the vital catalyst in the creation of energy that cells need for life. Without coQ10, the chain of cellular energy is broken and without energy, cellular life ceases. CoQ10�levels decrease with age and are even lower in patients with chronic diseases. Prescription drugs including statins may also lower CoQ10�levels, yet they can be increased by supplementing with CoQ10.
