TOP ENERGY NUTRIENT & HEART SUPPORT
Essential for cellular energy production
Combined with vitamin E for enhanced delivery
Potent antioxidant defends against free radicals Description
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural energy producing nutrient involved in a wide range of body systems. CoQ10 is located in the mitochondria, tiny power plants found in every cell in the body, and effectively supports their energy producing pathways to help fuel the body’s daily activity. A potent antioxidant, CoQ10 also defends cells against harmful free radicals.
How CoQ10 Works
CoQ10 is a vital component of the energy generating process at the cellular level: it is a true coenzyme. Enzymes, which are biological catalysts, often need assistance in bringing about chemical change within the body. CoQ10 works in the mitochondrial membrane as an electron/proton donor, facilitating the process of energy production. Studies show that oral supplementation with CoQ10 will renew CoQ10 stores in cells and tissues through the mitochondria, where they enhance cellular energy production and sustainability.
Potent Antioxidant Formula
CoQ10 is also a potent antioxidant. Combined with vitamin E this formula helps protect the proteins, lipids and DNA of mitochondria from oxidation, and helps to support mitochondrial function. Vitamin E also enhances delivery of CoQ10 for faster absorption and energy support.
CoQ10 and Energy Production
CoQ10 plays an important role in generating cellular energy and works inside a cell’s mitochondria to provide the supplies necessary for energy production. CoQ10 is an electron/proton carrier that helps the mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s energy source. This is vitally important because mitochondria must continually generate ATP to support every cell in the body. CoQ10 is found in high amounts in the cells of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. Oral supplementation with CoQ10 helps maintain CoQ10 stores in these crucial cells and tissues.
CoQ10 and the Immune System
According to Robert C. Adkins, M.D., author of Vita-Nutrient Solution, CoQ10 can enhance our immune defenses. CoQ10s nutritional support of the immune system was studied by William Lee, Ph.D., who found that with a daily dosage of 60mg for three to twelve weeks, patients had significantly increased levels of immunoglobulin G, an important part of immune system function.

Coenzyme Q10 100 mg
Coenzyme Q10 is found in nearly every cell in our bodies, CoQ10 is most often described as the biochemical spark that creates cellular energy. Intensive worldwide research has confirmed that it helps energize cells in your body by improving the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). CoQ10 is especially important for your heart cell muscles. Since your heart is the one muscle that never gets a break, it greatly benefits from CoQ10.
