Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a molecule produced by the body that helps manufacture energy in the mitochondria of cells through the electron transport chain. It is essential for survival, and low levels of CoQ10 are associated with several cardiovascular and cell energy-related disturbances.
CoQ10 is also crucial for promoting blood flow in the cardiovascular system. CoQ10 contains key micronutrients that have antioxidant roles in the body and support healthy blood lipid levels. When blood lipid levels are chronically elevated, risk of cardiovascular disturbances increase.
CoQ10 is most abundant in metabolically-demanding tissues throughout the body, specifically the heart, skeletal muscles, brain, kidneys, and liver. Being an integral part of the electron transport chain, CoQ10 assists in the synthesis of ATP—the energy currency of cells. As part of that process, CoQ10 also acts as an antioxidant by sequestering free radicals. CoQ10 promotes proper blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system by preserving the activity of nitric oxide, a molecule that dilates blood vessels and helps support healthy blood pressure. Vitamin A and vitamin E are also included in this formula as they are potent antioxidants that help support immune function, as well as eye and skin health.
