INGREDIENTS

Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like nutrient that is vital for cellular energy production. CoQ10 is used in the electron transport chain of mitochondria, the power generators of cells. This activity leads to the production of ATP, the major form of cellular energy which is necessary for many functions including muscular activity. CoQ10 also plays a role in health as a versatile antioxidant, stabilizing cell membranes (helping to protect them from free radical damage) and contributing to their fluidity.1

Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral that is involved in many vital functions. Magnesium helps the body regulate proper fluid balance as an electrolyte. It also plays a vital role in the production of ATP, as well production of energy through glycolysis.2

One third of the body’s magnesium content is located in skeletal muscle, there it can quickly be utilized to aid in muscle contractions.3,4

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that may be synthesized in the body, using the amino acids lysine and methionine as precursors. L-Carnitine helps shuttle fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells to produce energy. L-Carnitine is largely stored (98% of the body’s total content) in skeletal muscle to quickly aid in the production of energy. Carnitine is found in the mitochondria, as it plays a rate-limiting role in Beta oxidation.5

Fumarate in this form of L-Carnitine also serves as an intermediate in the Krebs cycle, a key cellular energy-producing process.6

Together CoQ10 and L-Carnitine are key nutrients necessary to produce cellular energy maintaining an adequate nutritional support level for the cardiovascular system.1,7,8

Coq10 and L-Carnitine play roles in mitochondrial function but together they have a synergistic function in both mitochondrial energy production and antioxidant protection from peroxidation of oxygen reactive species created during the energy production.9,10
