Dr. Adam Propper, D.C. Recommends Co-Enzyme Q10 – Ubiquinol

CoEnzme Q10 is a co-factor the fights free radicals and restores energy balance to the body. It is a celebrated nutrient and essential for overall cardiovascular function and muscle function. For those who take Statin drugs for high cholesterol it is a must. Statan drugs block CoQ10 and can result in weakened muscle function. The Heart muscle which relies on large continuous production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) for power, has the highest concentration of Mitochondria in the body. Mitochondria are the energy factories of the body and produce ATP. They rely on CoQ10 for production of ATP. Statins inhibit this metabolic process and can result in muscle pain and cramps. CoQ10 also helps regualate cholesterol levels. Ubiquinol is what is called the reduced form of CoQ10. It is available at any good health food store and is the best available form of the Co-enzyme used today.
If you take Statins it is a must that you take CoQ10. Consult your doctor about CoQ10.
