Does coenzyme Q10 really cure every damn thing, from high blood pressure to autism? The short answer is "probably not." The longer answer "Most probably not." Boston Globe health answer person Judy Foreman reports that coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance that works
with other enzymes, particularly in the mitochondria, to make energy. It also acts as an antioxidant, mopping up
"free radicals" that can damage cells. She also points out that coenzyme Q10 is plentiful in foods such as beef, soy oil, oily
fish such as sardines, mackerel, and salmon, as well as nuts, whole
grains, and vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage. So? So why take a supplement when you get what you need in the food you eat? Good one.

JUDY FOREMAN …
Interesting what one can turn up if you only do a little research on her. The majority of her articles do nothing but put down natural supplements with little or no research but those from the FDA, big Pharma’s or some other association who is economically hindered by the advancement of the Natural supplements industry.
The truth is that COQ10 is vital to heart patients and is key to helping heart attack patients back to recovery.
Oh, and the studies on COQ10 are there …. just look up ‘Life Extensions’ on the internet … they document everything in detail.
Oh and by the way … ever wonder just how many patients die each year from simply taking aspirin? The answer … thousands? Don’t hear that in Judy’s column now do you?

Makes you kind of wonder, doesn’t it?
I’ve heard it has some good effects especially if a person is taking statin drugs since it replaces some of the enzymes that the statins are not supposed to take away.
