1) Top heart support and energy nutrient
2) Essential for cellular energy production
3) Potent antioxidant
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 bodys 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.
CoQ10 is a 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 promotes mitochondrial health. Vitamin E also enhances delivery of CoQ10 for faster absorption and energy support. The antioxidative action of CoQ10 has been shown in some studies to be even greater than that of vitamin E.
CoQ10 and Energy Production
CoQ10 plays an important role in generating cellular energy and works inside a cells 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 bodys 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." CoQ10's 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.

CoQ10 is found in nearly every cell in our bodies, and is an essential Coenzyme
in the product for 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. This naturally occurring antioxidant also plays a critical role in the
bodys defense system. Supplementation of CoQ10 may be especially beneficial
to people who are over 30, under stress, or may have a deficiency of CoQ10.*
