Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance in every human cell. It's involved in key biochemical reactions that produce energy in cells. It also acts as an antioxidant (an"tih-OK'sih-dant). CoQ10 is naturally present in a variety of foods. Organ meats such as heart, liver and kidney as well as in beef, soybean oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts are particularly high in CoQ10.
ZENITH NUTRITION’S CoQ10 is an advanced form of CoQ10 that includes vitamin E, providing superior antioxidant protection and supporting cardiovascular health.
How does ZENITH NUTRITIONS CoQ10 Plus work?
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a potent antioxidant responsible for cellular energy throughout the body. Heart cells, in particular, have high energy demands, and therefore contain and require more CoQ10 than any other type of cell in the body. While the body produces CoQ10 on its own, levels naturally decline with age, making supplementation beneficial.
Vitamin E has been effective to promote healthy cholesterol levels. They help inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver and may actually be able to reverse arterial blockage, promoting efficient blood flow supply to the heart muscle.
Research suggests that supplementing with 100 mg to 600 mg of CoQ10 daily may help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels, contributing to overall cardiovascular health. In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect heart cells from the damaging effects of free radicals, unstable molecules in the body produced by normal body processes (such exercise and digestion) and environmental factors (such as pollution and the sun's UV rays).
Are you on statin drugs?
You should be aware that statins may lower your body's ability to produce CoQ10. This is because CoQ10 and cholesterol are both derived from the same substance, mevalonate. The purpose of statins is to inhibit the creation of cholesterol, and by extension, it suppresses the creation of CoQ10. It is important to consider adding a high quality CoQ10 supplement to your daily regimen.
