Today let's cover what CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) is good for. A coenzyme is something that helps an enzyme. There are a lot of different enzymes in the body that go way beyond digestion. There are enzymes that help perform many different functions. They're proteins that are involved in all of the biochemical pathways in the body.

CoQ10 is found in every single cell in the body. It's a very powerful antioxidant, but its main job is to stabilize membranes, especially in areas of your body where you're generating a lot of energy. The membrane around the mitochondria (the energy factory) needs CoQ10. Lipoprotein membranes, as in HDL and LDL, also need CoQ10. 

When you're generating a lot of energy, you're also generating a lot of free radical damage and oxidation. CoQ10 helps to counter that. 

Statins block CoQ10. Blocking this enzyme can create a lot of side effects, especially muscle damage. If you're taking a statin, you may also want to take CoQ10. 

If you have any nutritional deficiencies, you may also be deficient in CoQ10 because it sets you up for not creating CoQ10. If you have inflammatory conditions, you may also want to take CoQ10. 

What is CoQ10 good for?
• It can help support the heart 
• It may be good for athletes that generate a lot of oxidation  
• It may be good for people who have migraines or headaches 
• It may be good for people who have inflammation 
• It may be good for people who take a lot of medication
• It could potentially help protect against cancer

Been on statins for 20 years. Not one doctor EVER told me to take this. I started it on my own. Same with Vit D and K 2. Thanks for what you do to help us all be educated!

In Germany, if a doctor prescribes you a statin drug without also prescribing CoQ10, he or she can be charged with malpractice.

Lord knows I love this man, so grateful for you🙏 PLEASE Don't change 🙏I learn soo much from you over the years

[jeffpugh]

Thanks. I started taking this a few months ago and noticed a huge difference in the pain in my lower legs. I also went no carbs. No sugar. HIIT. Taking Choline, mct, beef liver. Lots 75 pounds. Dr has taken me off all my medications and I feel great. Now I'm maintaining my healthy life and enjoying it so much. Thank you

[handiman]

You are a life saver! My medical Dr. hadn't the foggiest idea what these side effects were. After following your Healthy Keto, I've lost 44lbs, lowered blood press., reduced A1C from 8.2, to 5.9, stopped the huffing and gasping for air, reduced back pain, etc. and took myself OFF of metformin, and all statins. I told my Dr., and he told me I'm doing well! So, why the heck didn't he tell me what to do, in the first place, instead of Rx'ing me a lot of meds??? Thanks, my friend, for opening my eyes to the truth!

[celestek.]

He has such a soothing voice on top of advising you towards better health. Thank you!!!

[Donna-cckt]

Yup, I’ve taken it before and noticed the energy. Because I don’t trust media and all medicines I lapsed. But I’ve started again. It’s definitely noticeable . Thank you! Love it.

The art of putting Doc.Berg's advice into practice and achieving a good result depends on four factors. 1) Patience. 2) Discipline, 3) dedication. 4) Concentration.

When I started taking CoQ10 about 20 years ago I stopped having any bleeding from my gums when I had a cleaning. The dental hygienists are always amazed. I started at age 50 with 100mg, progressed to 200mg by 60, then to 200 AM and PM and am now on 400mg AM and PM at 71.

It’s crazy no one here is talking about “the hidden herbs” by Anette Ray…

Thank you Dr.
Blessed Sunday to all!

I was rather frightened when I realized I was deficient of this at 26!! I took and felt 3 years younger. Take this and spread the word about it. My heart and circulation are much healthier.

[jtmmmm]

I take this for endurance in low intensity cardio. Literally puts about 30% on my runs.

My dermatologist told me about Q10 and ALA over 20yrs ago..He was a good doctor.

[rextex]

CoQ10 dramatically reduced all of my allergies. I still have allergies but they are reduced to the point I can actually play with a cat and not be sick for two weeks!

[nonophat]

Been taking after my Neurologist prescribed it along with Magnesium for my vastibular migraines. Goid to know that it has so many more benefits!
