CoQ-10 is a nutrient produced by the “energy factories” in your cells called mitochondria. Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally-occuring compound found in every cell in the body. Coenzyme Q10's alternate name, ubiquinone, comes from the word ubiquitous, which means "found everywhere. The mineral [[selenium]] is essential for the body's natural production of Coenzyme Q10."
*cholesterol-lowering drugs -- actually deplete your body’s natural CoQ-10. Statins block production of cholesterol in the liver, where CoQ-10 is also manufactured. Without sufficient CoQ-10, statins can cause liver damage ... irregular heartbeat ... muscle weakness ... leg cramps ... heart attack and stroke (the two potentially fatal conditions that statins are supposed to prevent).
