Deficiency: The heart uses an abundant amount of energy since it is metabolically active. Due to this, a deficiency in coenzyme Q10 effects the heart and may even lead to heart failure. Those suffering from angina, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure need increased levels of this accessory nutrient.

Common Uses: Heart complications such as cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, and mitral valve prolapse may all benefit from supplementing with coenzyme Q10. This accessory nutrient is also used for nutritional support with diabetes, muscular dystrophy, and cancer. Athletes use coenzyme Q10 to enhance their performance and it is also used to promote weight loss.

Precautions: Consult a physician if pregnant, symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, or dizziness last more than a week, or if new symptoms appear.
