Coenzyme Q-10 Feed your muscles! Coenzyme Q-10 enzyme is found in muscle cells. It is essential to the production of energy. High concentrations are needed by the heart and other muscles as well as the immune system. Natural levels decline with age. Coenzyme Q-10 has been a longtime favorite dietary supplement in Japan. Co-enzyme Q-10 is a natural nutrient in many foods and in most living cells of your body. It is required for energy production at the cellular level. Co Q-10 cannot be manufactured in the body, and must be obtained in the foods with eat. Because of modern food processing techniques, the lack of live organic foods in our diets, it is difficult for most of us to obtain adequate supplies of this vital nutrient. Co-enzyme Q-10 was first discovered in beef heart by Dr. F.L. Crane in 1957. Since then it has been intensively studied, particularly by such notables as Dr. Karl Folkers (called the "father" of CoQ), at the University of Texas and Dr. Emilie Bliznakov, scientific director of the Lupus research center. CoQ is composed of atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a unique configuration, with the number referring to the grouping of carbon atoms in the side chain. It is found in one form or another in all living cells, both plant and animal, and is necessary in the production of energy. Without it , all life would cease. Because of its vital role in energy production, extra amounts are required in the heart (up to tenfold concentration), the liver and cells of the immune system, all of which operate under constant stress. Scientific studies, often published in prestigious medical journals, such as the American Journal of Cardiology and the New England Journal of Medicine, touting the importance of Co Q-10. In Japan, up to 10% of the population regularly take CoQ10 as a nutritional supplement, prescribed by their physicians, and in the hospitals it is used intravenously.
