Excerpt From My "IS YOUR MEDICATION DEPLETING THE CO-ENZYME Q10 IN YOUR BODY?" Newsletter

CO-Q10 HISTORY

 

Though always working in our bodies, Co-Q10 was only first isolated and described by Dr Frederick Crane in 1957.  Dr Peter Marshall won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discoveries of the mechanisms of energy transfer in the body, part of which involved the role of Co-Q10. In 1974 the Japanese incorporated it as a prescription item into their treatment for congestive heart failure & other heart disorders. Life Extension Foundation introduced Co-Q10 to the U.S. in 1983. It later became widely available as an OTC nutrient supplement.

 

Co-Q10 has and is still being extensively studied and is now the 3rd most sold dietary ingredient in the U.S. after the Omega-3’s and multivitamins.
