• Supports energy production.

• Promotes healthy cardiovascular function.

• Exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

• Helps maintain already normal-range blood pressure levels.

Energy production at the cellular level is essential for life. The mitochondria play important roles and are chiefly responsible for energy production in the body. CoQ10 is a factor (coenzyme) in mitochondrial energy production and is present in all cells. CoQ10 works as an antioxidant, protecting lipids and other cell components from oxidation. It is a particularly promising cardioprotective agent. When cells age, mitochondrial CoQ10 levels decrease. But dietary supplementation has been shown to help maintain energy production and aid persons seeking proper cardiovascular function.

HOW IT WORKS Co-Q10 transports energy to the mitochondria where carbohydrates and fatty acids are converted into energy (ATP). This energy-making process fuels most metabolic processes and also serves as a precursor of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Supplementation with this coenzyme has been shown to maintain mitochondrial and cardiac functions (especially in the elderly), and support recovery after stress and surgery.

SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT Numerous studies suggest that CoQ10 may be beneficial in supporting the cardiovascular system. In populations with a high incidence of heart disease, participants had lower Co-Q10 levels compared to those populations with low incidence of heart disease. Co-Q10 may also help with maintaining normal-range blood pressure levels. Some studies have reported Co-Q10’s ability to support cardiovascular functions.
