Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
What Is It?
The essential nutrient Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a
necessary component of cellular energy production. It is a
component of the mitochondrial electron transport
system in cells, which supplies energy required for all
physiological functions.*
Uses For CoQ10
Support For Cellular Energy Production: CoQ10 is a core
component of cellular energy production and respiration,
shuttling electrons down the electron transport chain to
produce the key energy-rich molecule adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). It provides support to all cells of the
body, and is especially supportive of tissues that require
a
lot of energy, such as the heart muscle, periodontal tissue,
and the cells of the body’s natural defense system.*
Cardiovascular Support: By enhancing energy levels, and
promoting cellular and tissue health, CoQ10 provides
optimal nutritional support for the cardiovascular system.
Numerous clinical studies suggest that CoQ10 supports
healthy blood flow and heart muscle function.
Furthermore, it acts as an antioxidant, providing
cellular protection from free radicals, helps to maintain
the
integrity of vitamin E, and promotes healthy lipid metabolism.*
What Is The Source?
CoQ10 is obtained naturally by
fermentation from microorganisms.
CoQ10 also contains hypoallergenic plant fiber (pine
cellulose).
