Ageing can be best described as something that occurs as a consequence of cellular processes that cause gradual loss of organ function with the passage of time. This process also increases the risk of many age-associated diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, cataracts, dementia and neurological disorders.

CoQ10 is fast emerging as a choice of supplement for doctors to treat a number of health problems.  It has been found to be effective in congestive heart failure, angina, high blood pressure, migraine, cataracts and type 2 diabetes. In fact, when it comes to heart health, CoQ10 truly shines.

Statin drugs are commonly prescribed to reduce high cholesterol; believed to be a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Statins are very effective at what they are meant to do, which is to bring your cholesterol levels down. But long-term use is known to cause some serious side effects in some statin users.

The term heart failure can be a bit confusing. Most people associate it with a situation where the heart stops beating altogether. Well, heart failure is a condition where the heart is not strong enough to pump blood with required force and as a result blood flows through the body at a slower pace. A weak heart is not able to provide enough oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs that they need to carry out their functions. Having said that, heart failure is still a serious condition that requires timely and effective management; achieved usually through medication and lifestyle modifications

CoQ10 is an important player in the generation of energy within the cells, and it is a co-enzyme found in virtually every cell of the body. Co-enzymes are non-protein compounds that support enzymes in facilitating important biochemical processes in the body. It is also known as ubiquinone, stemming from the fact that this miracle nutrient is ubiquitous – present everywhere in the body. However, it is found in particularly high concentrations in the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and immune system owing to their high energy requirements.

A 2010 study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine showed that adults with fibromyalgia (FM) are much more likely to have restless legs syndrome (RLS) than healthy people [1]. According to Nathaniel F. Watson, MD, one of the study authors, “Sleep disruption is common in fibromyalgia and often difficult to treat. It is apparent from our study that a substantial portion of sleep disruption in fibromyalgia is due to restless legs syndrome.” [2]
