Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10
30mg 120 vegetarian capsules

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. While dietary measures and exercise play an important role in preventing heart attacks, a general resistance to lifestyle alterations suggests that a fortifying substance is needed to keep the heart functioning properly. Research indicates that substance may come in the form of a nutrient called Coenzyme Q10, a naturally occurring molecule similar in structure to vitamin K.

Its presence assists with the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), upon which all cellular functions depend. In addition, Coenzyme Q10's antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties prevent cellular damage resulting from normal metabolic processes. Large concentrations of CoQ10 are packed into the heart muscle cells, which have a high-energy requirement.

Coenzyme Q 10 supports neurological, cognitive, immune and cardiac health, including healthy blood pressure levels.  It is also a powerful antioxidant. Coenzyme Q10 is one of the best researched dietary supplements in the world. 

Humans make Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10) in the body, but levels decrease with age and with lifestyle choices that compromise nutrition status. The best food sources of CoQ 10 are organ meats, foods not commonly consumed today.   People with chronic health and immune conditions tend to be low in CoQ 10. Research has shown that supplementation improves levels of CoQ 10 in the body, and levels decline when supplementation stops.

Co Q10 improves the body's ability to produce cellular energy (cellular respiration) in the heart of energy production; the mitochondria. As an antioxidant, CoQ 10 also helps reduce damage from free radicals in the body.

CoQ 10 supplementation is a practical choice to support heart, immune, cognitive and neurological health over the lifespan.  In particular, talk with your healthcare practitioner about supplementing with CoQ 10 if you are taking cholesterol-reducing agents because research indicates that CoQ 10 levels can decline in these individuals. 

In healthy humans, CoQ 10 is most concentrated in the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas because the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas have high cellular demands for CoQ 10*.
