Has your "get up and go got up and went"? If so you will be interested in this latest research on CQ10.

You might say this study included a little monkey business. The subjects were thirteen male and eight female baboons. These primates were fed a variety of diets that were supplemented with different amounts of vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

The purpose of the research was to measure the effectiveness of CoQ10 and vitamin E in reducing inflammation in the body. The inflammation was measured by conducting a simple blood test of C-reactive protein (CRP).

When CRP levels were analyzed, vitamin E was found to lower levels of inflammation to an average of less than half of pre-supplementation levels. When coenzyme Q10 was added to vitamin E, CRP levels revealed a whopping seventy percent reduction in inflammation.

In the discussion of their findings, the researchers called the results "remarkable." They concluded that "co-supplementation with vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 significantly enhanced both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection."

Why is this so important? Inflammation and oxidation are two of the most important risks leading to a heart attack or stroke. The latest research indicates that they are far more dangerous risks than high cholesterol.

A high level of CRP in your blood indicates an increased risk for what your cardiologist describes as "destabilized atherosclerotic plaque." These are big words for a big problem.
