Coenzyme Q 10 or ubiquinone is a vitamin critical to all cellular functioning. It acts as a catalyst for chemical reactions in each cell of our body that produces ATP, which is essential for the energy that produces cellular function. Coenzyme Q 10 is the subject of intensive scientific investigation in many areas. Researchers are testing this unique vitamin to see its affects on heartfailure, cancer, and aging. Dietary enhancement with Coenzyme Q 10 has demonstrated effectiveness by alleviating certain types of hearing loss, improving certain clinical parameters in cystic fibrosis, and preventing cell death in restorative plastic surgical procedures.
The growing clinical and scientific evidence makes Coenzyme Q 10 worthy of inclusion in any treatment regimen to improve physical function at the cellular level, and particularly for patients with CFIDS and Fibromyalgia.
