COQ10 and Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. An informative and important article I have read on COQ10 and Breast Cancer is in the Life Extension Magazine. The research is done by the University of Miami.

Here is a short excerpt and the web link for more information:

In 2004, breast cancer accounted for about 30% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases in US women and was the second leading cause of cancer death, surpassed only by lung cancer.27 Diet may contribute to 30-50% of these newly diagnosed cases.27 Very little CoQ10 is derived from the standard American diet, so attention to nutrient-rich food is important for cancer prevention. Foods that contain the most CoQ10 include oily fish such as sardines and mackerel, liver, peanuts, and whole grains. A well-balanced diet may provide adequate amounts of CoQ10 for an already healthy person, but those with depleted levels or chronic illness may require supplemental CoQ10.

We take seriously the need for supplements and the benefits they have on our health. Please take time to read the article and the benefits of COQ10 and cancer prevention.
