COENZYME A
Coenzyme A is produced by your body’s cells from vitamin B5. It is at the center of the metabolic process. Consider, for a moment, the meaning of the word “metabolism”. Barron’s Dictionary of Medical Terms defines it as the combined chemical and physical process that takes place in the body, involves the distribution of nutrients, and results in growth, energy production, elimination of wastes, and other body functions. As you can see, this antioxidant plays a starring role. It helps produce approximately 90% of the energy your body needs to carry out its necessary functions each day. A lack of coenzyme A could result in sore, aching muscles and a lack of energy. Your brain and your adrenal glands rely on coenzyme A to assist in production of materials they need. Coenzyme A supports your immune system, increases energy and is also responsible for beginning the breakdown of fatty acids. As wonderful as coenzyme Q10 is, this coenzyme may be even more beneficial for your body.

FACTS ABOUT
ANTIOXIDANTS
Much research has recently focused on how antioxidant vitamins may reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Antioxidant vitamins such as C, E, and beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) have potential health-promoting properties. Though the data is incomplete, up to 30 percent of Americans are taking some form of antioxidant supplement.
