CoQ10 400mg, Coenzyme Q10 30 Softgels, NOW Foods

400mg CoQ10 - our highest potency ever!

Without an ample supply of CoQ10, the body simply can't function at peak performance.
As an active contributor to all aspects of cellular function, CoQ10 has become
universally regarded as one of the most vital nutrients ever made available to
the public. This powerful antioxidant helps reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol,
and is vital to the production of energy within the mitochondria. And just as
the heart contains high concentrations of this crucial nutrient, without it we
would be unable to produce enough energy to live.



What is CoQ10 and what is it good for?

CoQ10 (abbreviated for coenzyme Q10) is a vitamin-like compound also known
as ubiquinone. Ubiquinone combines two terms that describe this substance well
- a quinone is a type of coenzyme and ubiquitous indicates it exists everywhere
in the human body, which it does. CoQ10 plays an important role in your body's
energy production and is an essential component of the mitochondria, where it
helps to metabolize fats and carbohydrates and maintain cell membrane flexibility.
CoQ10 is also involved in the production of several key enzymes that are used
to create ATP, which is burned by your body for energy, and in the energy transfer
between mitochondria and cells. Without CoQ10, you would not be alive or able
to function.

CoQ10 is also an effective antioxidant that may beneficially affect the aging
process. As we age, our body's production of CoQ10 declines by as
much as 80%. Because it is so important to energy production, and therefore
life, researchers believe that this decline may be a factor in the effects of
aging on the human body.

The highest levels of CoQ10 are found in tissues in the body that work the
hardest, like the heart, the liver, etc. Initial studies into CoQ10 found that
persons with cardiac insufficiencies had very low levels of CoQ10, and supplementation
increased CoQ10 levels. So CoQ10 is not only an effective antioxidant, but it
supports cardiovascular health as well.
