Product Details
Co-enzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone, is a vitamin-like substance present in every cell of the body. Within each cell, the mitochondria, where energy is produced, contain the most co-enzyme Q10. The heart and liver, because they contain the most mitochondria per cell, have the greatest amount of co-enzyme Q10. Thus Co-Q10 plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular health. Through its antioxidant activity,Co-Q10 scavenges free radicals, reducing oxidative stress on cells throughout the body. It protects cardiac cells, prevents lipid (fat) oxidation and promotes the regeneration of vitamin E, another antioxidant. Co-Q10 is also vital for cellular energy. Co- Q10 is required for energy production in the mitochondria of the cell where carbohydrates and fatty acids are converted into energy(ATP). This energy-making process fuels most metabolic processes. The body on its own manufactures CoQ10; however, aging and stress deplete CoQ10. Not surprisingly, most people over 50, and also those with heart disease, cancer, gum disease, or obesity, have low levels of CoQ10.
