Episode notes
CoQ10 Powers Cellular Energy
- Coenzyme Q10 sits in mitochondria and helps transform molecules into ATP for cellular energy.
- It stabilizes membranes to prevent electron leakage, so low levels cause energy loss.
Use CoQ10 For Heart Support
- Take CoQ10 or eat CoQ10-rich foods if you have congestive heart failure to reduce hospitalizations and cardiac complications.
- Prioritize sources like heart muscle, organ meats, fatty fish, and extra virgin olive oil.
LDL Transports CoQ10
- CoQ10 travels through the bloodstream bound to LDL cholesterol as its shuttle.
- Without LDL transport, CoQ10 cannot move effectively through the body.
