Antioxidants & Healthy Aging

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone or CoQ10, continues to gain popularity. CoQ10 is a fat soluble coenzyme that is normally synthesized in the body. Most consumers supplement their diet with CoQ10 to help support cardiovascular health. The mechanism of action of CoQ10 occurs in the mitochondria of the cells, during the respiratory chain. Research indicates that CoQ10 may support heart health by supporting cellular energy production. Since CoQ10 is fat soluble, it is important to take it with dietary fat or in a fatty acid suspension. This product is offered in a fatty acid suspension of safflower oil, and therefore does not need to be taken with food.

Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone or CoQ10, continues to gain popularity. CoQ10 is a fat soluble vitamin-like substance that is normally produced in the body. It can be found in all cells including the cell membranes, where it protects cells from free radical damage. However, levels naturally decline with age, and may be reduced further in those managing healthy cholestrol levels as items that inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver also inhibit CoQ10 synthesis. Most consumers supplement their diet with CoQ10 to support cardiovascular and nervous system health. The mechanism of action of CoQ10 occurs in the mitochondria of the cells, during the respiratory chain. Research indicates that CoQ10 may support heart health...Full Details

Coenzyme CoQ10 also known as ubiquinone, is an important component in the energy producing systems in the body's cells. It exists in the membranes of the mitochondria from where it performs its essential function on manufacturing ATP, and generating the energy needed by the human body. Research has shown decreased levels of CoQ10 in a variety of health concerns in both animal and human studies. It is hard to obtain adequate amounts of CoQ10 in the daily diet, so many people choose to take a CoQ10 supplement to help ensure adequate health.
