Ortho Molecular Products COQ-10 Soft Gel Capsules, 120 Count

CoQ is a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in every cell in the body. CoQ is abundant in the mitochondrial membrane and plays an important role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule of chemical energy upon which all cellular functions depend. The synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria is a multi-step series of biochemical reactions called the electron transport chain. As a coenzyme, CoQ is required for several enzymatic reactions required to produce cellular energy and to protect the body against free radicals produced during this process. To maintain energy production, mitochondrial CoQ is continuously recycled from ubiquinone, its ATP production state, to ubiquinol, its antioxidant state. After the age of 35 to 40 years, endogenous synthesis of CoQ begins to decline. CoQ an essential component of cellular energy production, has been shown to extend cell life and benefit high-energy systems, namely the cardiovascular, neurological and immune systems. Supplementation with a highly concentrated, oil-based CoQ enables faster recovery of CoQ levels for those that have increased CQ requirements including those with drug-induced depletion, increasing age, or increased tissue demands. The CoQ-10 300 mg formulation is highly concentrated for those that need to quickly and effectively increase levels of CoQ. CoQ 300 mg is delivered in a proprietary oil-based formulation and includes natural vitamin E for enhanced absorption and maximum stability.
