FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CoQ10

WHAT IS CoQ10?

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally. Your cells use CoQ10 for growth and maintenance.

Levels of CoQ10 in your body decrease as you age. CoQ10 levels have also been found to be lower in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease, and in those who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.

CoQ10 is found in meat, fish and nuts. The amount of CoQ10 found in these dietary sources, however, isn’t enough to significantly increase CoQ10 levels in your body.

Our CoQ10 is produced through a natural fermentation process of the highly bioavailable, preferred trans isomeric form of CoQ10. Our process does not use polysorbate 80 (an emulsifier made from polyethoxylated sorbitan), undesirable flowing agents or other excipients. The natural trans-isomer of CoQ10 is the most desirable because it is identical to the CoQ10 produced by all cells in the body. CoQ10 is found in the highest concentrations in tissues with the highest rate of metabolic activity and energy demands (such as in the heart, muscle, liver, kidney and brain).
