The Doctor explains - Co Enzyme 10

Co-Enzyme Q10

Co-Enzyme Q10 is a very important enzyme in the little "energy factories" of each cell called mitochondria. It is the initial enzyme that will kick-start energy production in ALL cells of our body. When Co-Enzyme Q10 is deficient, the cell's ability to produce energy is declining and as a result metabolic functions of the cell as well as the ability to eradicate the various toxins from the cell (celled free radicals) is declining. This will lead to accumulation of these toxic free radicals, causing inflammation and general cellular dysfunction. Various symptoms have been described due to this metabolic derangement such as generalized fatigue and muscular weakness, periodontal disease, eye sight decline (known as retinal disease) as well as cognitive decline.
