Healthe. Nutrition Assessing Supplements (NAPSA)—Sometimes, a healthy diet alone can’t provideall the nutrients you need. Explains nutritionist Keri Glassman, best-selling author of “The New You (and Improved!) Diet,” CoQ10 is essential for heart health. It’s found in oily fish, meat, whole grains, certain vegetables, and olive, canola and sesameoils. Certain nutrients are hard to get from food alone. Having a headsup on the type of nutritional supplementto take is important. There’s not enoughofthis vital nutrient in normal portions, how- ever. Also, Glassman says, there’s a significant difference between conventional CoQ10 andits preconverted Ubiquinol form. “Ubiquinol, the natural active form of CoQ10, is a substance pro- duced in the human body until around age 30,” she explains. Glassmantells clients there’s a time and place for supplements and recommends that anyone over 30 take the Ubiquinol form of CoQ10. Optimal Ubiquinol levels help support cardiovascular, neurological and liver health. It’s the strongest knownlipid-soluble antioxidant and may help counter unwanted side effects of statin drugs.
