Co-Q10 is a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in every cell in the body. Co-Q10 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, Co-Q10 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 Co-Q10 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 Co-Q10 begins to decline.

Co-Q10, 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.

The CoQ-10 formulation is delivered in an oil-based proprietary form and includes natural vitamin E for enhanced absorption and maximum stability.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Ubiquinone (CoQ10)

The large body of evidence supporting Co-Q10 supplementation has been embraced in virtually every corner of the medical and scientific community. Perhaps named for its vast presence in the body, ubiquinone (Co-Q10) contributes to energy production and good health. Because of the immense energy demands of the heart, Co-Q10 has the ability to promote cellular energy production and offers wide-ranging cardiovascular support.

Finding the Right CoQ10

The right CoQ-10 is important for effective results. To improve absorption, Co-Q10 must be dissolved and transported with a lipid carrier. This formulation is delivered as a highly bioavailable, oil-based soft gel.
