Citrus-Q10 100 Citrus Flavor - 60 Tablets

Coenzyme Q10 is an essential antioxidant found naturally in the body which helps to protect against free radical damage. It has a similar chemical structure to vitamins E and K, and works by participating in oxidation-reduction reactions - just like vitamin E does. Healthy individuals can generate enough of this nutrient through their regular diet, but those with health conditions or taking specific medications may be unable to produce sufficient amounts on their own; for these people it becomes important to supplement their intake from other sources as recommended by experts such as Dr. Karl Folkers who have studied its biosynthesis using tyrosine/phenylalanine & mevalonic acid molecules present within our bodies. A complex biochemical process encompasses 15 intricate steps to ensure the respiratory chain receives proper levels of coenzyme Q10. Many enzymes, coenzymes, vitamins and minerals cooperate in a delicate dance for this essential function.

Coenzyme Q10 is an essential nutrient for the health of cells and unfortunately, an inadequate diet in many Americans results in insufficient levels. National Health and Nutrition Examination Studies show that most water-soluble vitamins, vitamin A and a number of minerals are not being consumed adequately. Additionally, even when disease states exist some food sources may not be efficiently absorbed or available to contribute to coenzyme Q10 synthesis within the body. It would appear then that dietary supplementation with coenzymes is necessary for individuals who want maximum well-being at both cellular level as well as holistically across their entire life span.

Emerging research points to coenzyme Q10 as a key player in the protection of cardiovascular health. Its versatile functions include helping maintain healthy blood pressure, nourishing heart and vascular tissues, and replenishing deficiencies caused by statin drugs. Supplementation has been shown to be beneficial for many patients.
