CoQ10 Powder (110 G) 150 Servings By Metabolic Maintenance

What is CoQ10? Coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinone) is a fat-soluble antioxidant found nearly “ubiquitously” in all cells. It functions as a mitochondrial coenzyme and is essential for the production of ATP, the energy source for cellular activity. The biochemical structure of CoQ10 makes it perfectly suited to transfer electrons for ATP production and to clean up free radicals as an antioxidant [1]. Because CoQ10 supports energy production on the cellular level, it is especially important for the healthy function of organs whose cells use a lot of energy such as the heart, blood vessels, muscles, and kidneys [2]. CoQ10 production tends to decline with age, and the use of statin drugs tends to further decrease natural CoQ10 levels.   How does CoQ10 Work? Cells with high energy requirements, such as cardiac cells, are extremely sensitive to CoQ10 deficiencies, which can develop due to cardiac disease [1]. This creates a vicious cycle, as failing heart cells synthesize less CoQ10, but need it for proper function; a fact that supports the use of CoQ10 supplements to correct this deficiency. CoQ10 is also an antioxidant and has vasodilation effects, which also support its credentials as a cardiovascular aid [1]. CoQ10 inhibits LDL oxidation which is associated with the progression of atherosclerosis [2]. CoQ10 also decreases proinflammatory cytokines and decreases blood viscosity, making this an ideal supplement to support patients with either past or potential heart failure and coronary artery disease [1,2]. On another note, coenzyme Q10 has also been found to be helpful for patients with vertigo and Meniere-like syndrome by supporting the immune system [1].   What are the Suggested Uses for CoQ10?

• Support cardiovascular and neurological health by promoting cellular energy production and antioxidant activity. *
• Support immune function. *
