Overview
Coenzyme Q10 (coq10) was first identified in 1957. At that time it
was known as ubiquinone (from the term ubiquitous) because it is found
everywhere in nature. It is found in all plant and animal cells making it
easily obtained through the diet, but not in optimum levels. It is a catalyst
for food metabolism working in conjunction with enzymes, thus the name
“coenzyme”. Co-Q10 is essential to energy production and necessary for the
formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It functions in the transfer of
energy and oxygen between blood and body cells and also between cell
components, in other words it is essential for the body’s cells, tissues and
organs. Co-Q10 is found in the highest concentrations in cells of the heart,
liver, kidney and pancreas. Co-Q10 works together with vitamin E and may
protect it from damage. Current research indicates that it may play an
important role in prevention of various cardiovascular diseases. In addition,
research is being conducted to determine whether Co-Q10 may be useful in
supporting healthy immune function. This research is inconclusive at this time.
Our Coenzyme Q10 is available in 30, 60, or 100mg potencies.

Cautions
If you are pregnant or lactating consult a health care practitioner
