Coenzyme Q10 Good for Your Mouth - Good for Your Health
What do periodontal (Gum) disease, obesity and congestive heart
failure have in common? Often, it's a deficiency of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Found
naturally in certain foods and similar to a vitamin, CoQ10 is produced by the
human body and found in every cell. It is essential for transforming fats and
carbohydrates into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - the energy for each cell to
carry out its functions and the energy with which the body runs. Generally,
CoQ10 boosts energy, enhances the immune system and acts as an antioxidant.
As one ages, the amount of CoQ10 produced in the body

declines rather rapidly. Many researches believe that older individuals and
people engaged in vigorous exercise may be deficient in CoQ10 and would benefit
from supplementation.
