Here's an excerpt from this special report...

Coenzyme Q-10 (also known as CoQ10) has been the focus of scientific study for years. Playing a crucial role in producing energy in cells, CoQ10 also acts as a powerful antioxidant, a little like vitamin E or vitamin C. Yet, despite its popularity, there are some worrying drawbacks to CoQ10 supplementation that the companies who sell it would rather you didn't hear about.

Discovered in 1957, CoQ10 is also called ubiquinone because it belongs to a class of compounds called quinones. Its name also comes from the word ubiquitous, which means, "found everywhere." That's because CoQ10 is found in every cell in your body. Some foods, notably pork and beef heart, also contain small amounts of CoQ10 [4].

As with most food supplements, trying to find independent and unbiased CoQ10 information is difficult. Because most magazines and websites are either owned or supported financially (in the form of advertising) by supplement companies, getting to the truth can be extremely difficult.

Dubbed by some as a "miracle nutrient", CoQ10 has been proposed as a treatment for many disorders, including heart disease, high blood pressure, Parkinson's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, and allergies. It's also supposed to improve your memory, boost your energy levels, enhance exercise performance, combat aging and speed up weight loss.

CoQ10 is one of many substances in the body that tend to decline as people age or develop certain diseases (such as some cardiac conditions, Parkinson's disease, and asthma). Some drugs, including certain cholesterol-lowering statins, beta-blockers, and antidepressants, can reduce CoQ10 levels in the body. Since CoQ10 levels peak around the age of 20 and decline with age, it seems logical that supplemental CoQ10 might be beneficial in older adults.

Interest in CoQ10 grew in the early 1970s when researchers found that patients with congestive heart failure had much lower levels of it in their hearts. At least 30 Japanese clinical reports describe favorable effects with intravenous or oral CoQ10. In 1974, the Japanese government approved marketing of CoQ10 for the treatment of heart failure.

However, the evidence that it works is not...
