trunature CoQ10 100 mg - 150 Softgels

CoQ10 is a coenzyme found in all human cells. CoQ10 plays a vital role in cellular energy production and helps protect mitochondria from free radical damage. It has been studied for the role it plays in helping to maintain healthy heart function. CoQ10 may be important for people taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs because statin drugs can reduce CoQ10 levels in the body.

•CoQ10 30-400 mg is a commonly recommended daily dose and aids in maintaining healthy CoQ10 levels in the body.
• Clinically shown to support heart function.
• Important for individuals taking statin drugs to lower cholesterol.
• Helps protect mitochondria from free radical damage.

Why is CoQ10 an important supplement for statin users?

Unfortunately, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) are known to inhibit the body’s natural production of CoQ10, which is why supplementation is often recommended for statin users to help replenish CoQ10 levels. Additionally, CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with older age due to decreased ability to absorb the small amount of naturally occurring CoQ10 found in foods and due to reduced endogenous synthesis. CoQ10 levels may also decrease under certain health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and congestive heart failure. trunature CoQ10 daily supplements can help maintain and restore CoQ10 levels to help support heart function and cellular energy production.

Why is CoQ10 important in the energy ATP process?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is found in every cell in the body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. CoQ10 exists inside small organelles of the cell called mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, where it is needed to generate energy. With CoQ10’s presence in the lining of every mitochondrion, we are able to convert food energy (carbohydrate, protein and fat) into cellular energy (ATP) and keep our body functioning at its optimal level. Knowing the role CoQ10 plays in cellular energy production, it is no wonder that the highest concentrations of CoQ10 are where we need the most energy – the heart, immune system, liver and kidneys.

Which foods contain CoQ10 naturally?

In the diet, CoQ10 exists in moderate amounts in meat, poultry and fish and in 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.
