If asthma is getting you down, it’s possible that increasing your levels of CoQ10<\/strong> could benefit your breathing as well as your energy and endurance.<\/p>\n

Coenzyme Q10<\/strong> is a natural substance found in the mitochondria of every cell. Its primary function is to assist in the production of energy at the cellular level but it is also a powerful antioxidant capable of neutralizing free radicals, which are chemically unstable molecules formed when the cells interact with oxygen and other substances.<\/p>\n

Free radicals scavenge and injure other cells, and the damage they do has been shown to play a large part in a whole host of diseases ranging from cardiovascular problems to metabolic disorders like diabetes and even age-related illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In asthma patients, the free radical damage is believed to increase and exacerbate the chronic mucosal tissue inflammation characteristic of the disease. Though research on the link between CoQ10 and asthma<\/em><\/strong> is ongoing, preliminary findings appear to not only support this theory but indicate that raising serum levels of the coenzyme could provide relief to asthma patients.<\/p>\n
