• Promotes Neurological Health

CoQ₁₀ is a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in every cell in the body. CoQ₁₀ is abundant in the mitochondrial membrane and plays an important role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule of chemical energy upon which all cellular functions depend. The synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria is a multi-step series of biochemical reactions called the electron transport chain. As a coenzyme, CoQ₁₀ is required for several enzymatic reactions required to produce cellular energy and to protect the body against free radicals produced during this process. To maintain energy production, mitochondrial CoQ₁₀ is continuously recycled from ubiquinone, its ATP production state, to ubiquinol, its antioxidant state. After the age of 35 to 40 years, endogenous synthesis of CoQ₁₀ begins to decline. CoQ₁₀, an essential component of cellular energy production, has been shown to extend cell life and benefit high-energy systems, namely the cardiovascular, neurological and immune systems.

This CoQ₁₀ formulation is delivered in an oil-based proprietary form and includes natural vitamin E for enhanced absorption and maximum stability.

Suggested Use:

1 or more soft gel capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

COQ 10 Benefits

CoQ₁₀ Depletion

The body’s ability to produce and metabolize CoQ₁₀ has been reported to decrease with age. CoQ₁₀ deficiency may be caused by insufficient dietary intake of CoQ₁₀, impairment in CoQ₁₀ production, drug-induced CoQ₁₀ depletion, gene mutations and oxidative stress. HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme required for the synthesis of cholesterol and CoQ₁₀. Cholesterol lowering medications inhibit this enzyme in order to reduce cholesterol synthesis, but may also simultaneously deplete CoQ₁₀ status.

Cardiovascular Health

CoQ₁₀ is important for all energy-dependent processes, and is especially helpful in strengthening contraction of the heart muscle. CoQ₁₀ is also important for protection against free radical damage to the arterial vessels.
