Coenzyme Q-10 is a naturally occurring enzyme found in many foods and in most living cells of your body. It is essential for the production of energy at the cellular level. Ninety-five percent of the energy we need is produced inside each cell by the mitochondria. Coenzyme Q-10 must be present within each cell for the mitochondria to function.*
Because it is vital to our body’s production of energy, Coenzyme Q-10 is required in high concentrations by the heart, the liver and the cells of the immune system. The heart requires a constant supply of energy and, therefore, may be unusually susceptible to the effects of a Co Q-10 deficiency. Over the past 15 years, the great bulk of clinical work with Co Q-10 has focused on heart health.*1
Our body’s ability to synthesize the Coenzyme Q-10 that we require may decline in our mid-30’s. Studies show that a Co Q-10 deficiency of only 25% is a cause for concern. Correcting this deficiency supports the functions of our organs and enhances overall health.*
