Product Description
CoQ10 is an important molecule that assists in generating cellular energy. The highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the hardest working cells of the body, such as the heart, liver and kidneys. Studies have shown that taking a CoQ10 supplement may help replenish the body's decreased internal production due to aging and use of certain cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins). Helps support heart function.† May be important for people taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, which can reduce blood CoQ10 levels.† #1 Pharmacist recommended Coenzyme Q10 brand* Certain cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) are known to inhibit the body's production of CoQ10, which is why supplementation is often suggested for statin users to help replenish CoQ10 levels.†2 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is found in nearly every cell in the body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells.1 CoQ10 exists inside small organelles of the cell called mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, where it is needed to generate cellular energy. With CoQ10's presence in the lining of every mitochondria, we are able to convert food (carbohydrates and fat) into cellular energy (ATP). Knowing the role CoQ10 plays in cellular energy production, it is no wonder that the highest concentrations of CoQ10 are found in the hardest working organs, such as the heart, liver and kidneys.† In the diet, CoQ10 exists in moderate amounts in meat, poultry and fish and in even smaller amounts in nuts, fruits and vegetables. Higher levels of CoQ10 can be found in organ meats like kidney, heart, and liver, while lower levels can be found paired with vitamin E in the germ of whole grains.Feature
