OK...so BFF-AL was telling me about this stuff that her sister told her about...COQ10. Not only does the body make it...since we need it, but evidently...so do pharmaceutical companies!! Surprise!! It's supposed to [cure, kinda] just about everything...so I checked it out.
Benefits - reducing symptoms of: Brainfog (my personal favorite); Hypertension; Cardiovascular; Parkinson's Disease; Migraine Headaches; Magnetic Field Exposure (I have no friggn' clue); Weight Loss (don't need it); Sudden Heart Failure; Angina...
Here's a snippet from one of the websites...Hmmm?? Watcha think?? Sounded good to me...till I read...
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a type of enzyme found in the cells of your body. CoQ10 is biosynthesized, that is, your body produces it naturally. It works to provide energy for organ function and is found in high concentrations in the heart and liver cells. In supplement form, CoQ10 is designed to replace or replenish the coenzyme in case of deficiency.
Coenzyme Q10 is concentrated in the mitochondria of your body's cells. The mitochondria convert matter (nutrition) into energy, and CoQ10 is needed for this function. The coenzyme also acts as an antioxidant -- it works to prevent the formation of cancer cells and boosts your immune system. Your body produces CoQ10 the same way it produces both HDL and LDL (good and bad) cholesterol.
One remarkable aspect of Co10 is its ability to drive metabolic reaction in the body more efficiently.
If you are eating well, but not losing weight; if you are working out but seem to have no energy after a few minutes; if you are over 30; if your immune system seems weaker than it should be, chances are you are Coenzyme Q10 deficient.

Well shit...so much for that.

Holy Supplement Batman!! I feel that way all the time! The only thing it doesn't do is make you grow a penis! Why take a pill and double up!!
Consequently...I ain't takin' none. I must say, though, that I was seriously impressed about that Brainfog issue...
I bought a Christmas present today. Official. The Christmas season has landed. I'm thinking I should add...'write Christmas cards/letters'...to my 'daily to-do list'. I will, after I find them. Oh hell..I better just buy some because I have no idea where they are.
Husband made me some horsehair tassels so I can make some earrings. I need to cut those antlers, too. No...I haven't cut them yet!
Rambo 3 is on...in Spanish. Do you know what's dumber than that? Pretty much nothing.
Oh-oh...is appears that we are watching COPS. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you...bad boys, bad boys... At least it's in English.
Do you know what would taste really good right now? Brownies. With pecans. Lots of them
I suppose I should wind down. It's a little after midnight...and since I don't have any brownies, I might as well go to sleep. Ho-Hum. Nite!!
