So, what is CoQ10? CoQ10 is a fatsoluble antioxidant that naturally occurs in our body. It has been around for a long time. An oldy, but a goodie!
Antioxidants are substances that help break down free radicals, which are molecules produced in the body that cause damage. When there are too many free radicals floating around, it can cause damage to parts of your healthy body. The good news is that your body naturally produces some antioxidants (others you get from food), these antioxidants find and neutralise free radicals. So, it’s essentially a built-in defence system. One of the major roles, and why CoQ10 is so cool, is that it helps convert the food we eat into energy to power our body a…

These symptoms are a direct result of the body trying to rid itself of the bugs, typically they will last for 3-7 days.
While there are many things you can do to help with these symptoms, avoiding g…
So why then, do we suffer from disease and illness? To be honest, in most cases it’s not a design fault of the body but much more likely a result of our environment – that is things such as diet, lifestyle, daily habits, increased stress, poor sleep, pollution, suboptimal nutrients in modern foods and lack of regular physical activity.
