Energy & Vitality
Helps to improve stamina and endurance, and can help maintain performance as well as assist recovery following exercise.
Women's Health
Women taking oral contraceptives have lower levels of CoEnzyme Q10 and Vitamin E, and could possibly benefit from supplementation.
Heart/Circulation
CoEnzyme Q10 is a powerful free radical scavenger that may assist in maintaining peripheral circulation and reduces oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol. If you are taking cholesterol lowering medication (statin) you might consider also taking CoEnzyme Q10. Cholesterol lowering medications can reduce the levels of CoEnzyme Q10 and supplementation is recommended to maintain energy levels.
CoEnzyme Q10 is a natural vitamin-like substance that is found in all body cells, particularly in the heart muscle. It is involved with the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the basic energy unit of all cells, and declines as we age and with exercise. CoEnzyme Q10 helps provide stamina and endurance; assists maintenance of heart health - in particular heart muscle function and peripheral circulation; and assists with reducing the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (the so called 'bad' cholesterol).CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone or ubidecarenone, is an intracellular free radical scavenger, thus it functions as a powerful antioxidant. It is a naturally occurring substance which plays a critical role in the production of cellular energy, therefore is of particular importance in conditions where energy production is sub-optimal.
CoQ10's membrane stabilising effect and ability to improve tissue oxygenation makes it of specific use in cells with a high energy turnover such as nerve, cardiac, muscle and white blood cells. CoEnzyme Q10 stores decreases with ageing.
