Product Description

CoQ10 is commonly called ubiquinone because it is ubiquitous
throughout the body and found in nearly every cell. The active form of the
molecule, ubiquinol, is a fat-soluble antioxidant that supports healthy fats
such as those that make up cellular and mitochondrial membranes, as well as
both HDL and LDL cholesterol. However, CoQ10’s most important role is in
cellular respiration, the process of generating the energy (ATP) that all cells
need for optimal health. Because its role in energy production is so critical,
it is particularly important in cells with high-energy demands, such as the
heart. This helps explain why CoQ10 has shown such significant cardiovascular
support for maintaining normal blood pressure already within the normal range
and supporting myocardial health. High levels of oxidative stress often have
correspondingly low levels of CoQ10. CoQ10 is a source of antioxidant activity.
Moderate amounts, ranging from 300–600 mg per day, have been used to increase
the effects of CoQ10, help support normal fertility by maintaining ovarian and
testicular health, and help maintain cardiovascular health. Kaneka Q+ ubiquinol
provides the form of CoQ10 found in 95% of human tissues. Higher levels of
ubiquinol compared to ubiquinone are a sign of better cellular support. Kaneka
Q+ ubiquinol has also been shown to be more soluble than ubiquinone, more
effectively increasing blood levels of this nutrient so critical to energy
production. A base of organic flaxseed oil improves the solubility of ubiquinol
and has heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed oil has alpha-linolenic
acid, an oil associated with cardiovascular support.
