The spark for releasing energy from foods.
CoQ10 is responsible for releasing energy from food and is a key factor in energy metabolism. CoQ10 supports cellular energy production by helping to promote ATP, the body's primary storage source of energy. The body makes CoQ10 from food shifts such as fish oils, meat organs and whole grains and is enhanced by vitamin E. Body levels of CoQ10 are influenced by ageing, stress, illness, drugs and physical activity.
In-depth summary:
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like compound also called ubiquinone. It is an essential component of cells and is utilised by the mitochondria in the normal process of energy production. This safe and non toxic product has been consumed my millions of people worldwide for over 20 years.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has long been considered an essential nutrient for cardiac health because of its role in boosting cellular energy. When CoQ10 is orally administered, it works its way into the cells' mitochondria (the cells' powerhouses) where it helps to convert fats and sugars into energy. Thus, scientists have focused on its critical role in heart function. But, further studies have identified CoQ10's other important role: as a neuroprotective agent.*
The brain also needs a tremendous amount of energy to function properly. And, since CoQ10 is one of the most efficient mitochondrial energy enhancers, it is logical to expect that this energy-enhancing nutrient could play a role in brain function.*
It is a fact that CoQ10 diminishes with age. This means mitochondrial energy decreases accordingly, leading to what is now being referred to as "mitochondrial disorders" or simply put, sub-optimal health, as cellular energy and function are compromised.*
Rockland Q10 is Pharmaceutical grade, the highest quality available. This Co Q10 is produced exclusively in Japan through a natural fermentation process.
