CoEnzyme Q10

Description Essential for statin users Cellular energy boost Protect DNA and mitochondria Neutralize free radicals Coenzyme Q 10 or Co Q10 is an antioxidant found naturally in the body. Co Q10 is essential in the manufacture of ATP, our cellular fuel.1 The process of ATP generation involves shuttling electrons through a series of specialized enzymatic steps called the "respiratory electron transport chain." Through a series of steps, electrons are carried to higher and higher levels of energy until, as a final step, that energy is captured within the chemical bonds of an ATP molecule. Co Q10 serves as an important chaperone for these high-energy electrons and helps guide them through the maze of the electron transport chain.2 Co Q10 is also a powerful antioxidant and helps regenerate vitamins C and E in the body. 3 Dr. Karl Folkers was one of the first to suggest a link between declining levels of Co Q10 and physical decline due to aging. His theory was that since Co Q10 is involved
