Boosts Cellular Energy Production - Boosts Cellular Energy Production*
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like nutrient found in the human body. Essential to life, Co Q10 works at the cellular level to produce energy for metabolism in the form of ATP.*1,2 Co Q10 serves as a vital link in the "electron transport chain," which is the final step in the production of ATP in the mitochondria of cells.
Without an adequate supply of Co Q10, cells can become energy-deficient, slowing down a number of critical cellular processes. When cells are nourished with optimal levels of Co Q10, tissues, organs and systems function properly.
• Strengthens and Protects the Heart*
The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body. Because of its high energy requirements, the heart needs Co Q10 at all times. The highest concentration of Co Q10 in the human body occurs in heart muscle tissue. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in heart function with oral administration of Co Q10.3,4,5 Studies are increasingly showing an ability of Co Q10 to improve energy production in heart cell mitochondria by bypassing defective components in the respiratory chain, as well as to protect heart tissue from the effects of chronic oxidative stress.14
• Supports Immune Function*
When the immune system goes into battle for us, immune cells need large amounts of energy to carry out their defensive functions. Co Q10 is required for this energy to be available. Experimental research on animals has shown that Co Q10 enhances immune functions such as the activity of phagocytes, and antibody production.6
• Antioxidant protection*
Co Q10 is a versatile antioxidant.* The reduced form of Co Q10, ubiquinol-10, has been found to protect LDL against peroxidation by free radicals more effectively than vitamin E.* Co Q10 stabilizes membranes,* thus protecting them from free radical damage.7,8,9 In addition, studies have shown that CoQ10’s potent free radical scavenging properties extend to brain ti ...
