Co-Q10 is in the top 5 of supplements sold globally, and for good reason. Amongst its many benefits is the support it provides to the cardiovascular system
Co-Q10 Deficiency: We produce Co-Q10 naturally, but like many nutrients, we have an imbalance between our body’s needs and our natural production. One of the primary reasons for deficient levels of Co-Q10 is the consumption ofpharmaceutical drugs, because some commonly consumed medications like statins for example, knock Co-Q10 out of the body. As we age Co-Q10 is synthesised less by the body so our needs do increase
Deficiency Diseases: The list is fairly extensive, but amongst the important roles it plays are helping to reduce heart disease and cancer. It also can reduce the effect of migraines and helps us avoid tiredness and fatigue
Mitochondria and Energy: Co-Q10 is essential for the health of the mitochondria, and is also vital to the production of ATP, the energy produced within your cells that keep you alive. This nutrient should be added to a nutritional program foranyone suffering from low energy levels
Heart Disease: Co-Q10 supports healthy mitochondria throughout the body, but in particular within the heart. Heart muscle cells have a much higher concentration of mitochondria that other organs within the body - about 5,000 mitochondria per cell compared to, for example, only 1,000 to 2,000 within a liver cell. Mitochondria make up about 35% of the volume of cardiac tissue making it one of the highest concentrations within the body
Free Radicals: Co-Q10 is one of the more potent antioxidant nutrients. The process of energy production within the mitochondria creates a toxic residue which can become a harmful by-product when produced in excess. We refer to these as free-radicals, and Co-Q10 mops up and removes these from the body, preventing toxic overload. It effectively neutralizes them and in so doing promotes a healthier heart
All In 1 Product: We combine a number of antioxidant nutrients in 1 product to create a highly effective multi-nutrient. Apart from Co-Q10, ours contains: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium and Bioflavonoids
Each of these ingredients has numerous benefits, but overall:
- Antioxidants react with harmful Free Radicals to render them harmless
- Antioxidants help to prevent the damaging effects of oxidation within LDL Cholesterol
- Antioxidants counteract the increase of harmful Free Radicals produced as a result of exercise
- Antioxidants help to promote a healthy immune system
- Antioxidants promote a healthy heart

- Antioxidants help support healthy skin and vision
- Co-Q10 is needed for cell energy release in human tissue counteracting inflammation
- Antioxidants – in particular Selenium – help protect us from common cancers
