User's Guide to Coenzyme Q10

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY JAN 1, 2003

Series editor Jack Challem and his associates have launched the User's Guide to Nutritional Supplements series of handy references designed to demystify the many items on the market. Martin Zucker's User's Guide to Coenzyme Q10 is their most recent. Relatively unknown, the editors posit, this vitamin-like substance produced by the body is engaged in energy production and is a strong antioxidant that may strengthen against disease and enliven tissues. Available over the counter, it's touted as aiding with heart disease, guarding against cancer and other illnesses, combating gum disease and working on the nervous system and brain disorders. Additional titles in the series cover Vitamins and Minerals, St. John's Wort, Chromium and Glucosamine & Chondroitin. (Jul.)
