Moss Nutrition: Coenzyme Q10 Select 100mg - 60 Capsules

Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance typically found in small amounts within virtually every tissue of the body where it cycles between the oxidized form ubiquinone and the reduced form ubiquinol. CoQ10 is a critical component in the reaction that produces ATP within cellular mitochondria which in turn fuels energy production in the whole body. It also protects the mitochondrial and cellular membranes. CoQ10 is more abundant in heart muscle tissue due to the high-energy demands on the heart and if levels are depleted, the heart is weakened, making it a critical supplement for supporting overall cardiovascular health. Several clinical studies confirmed it improved symptoms of congestive heart failure including oedema and heart muscle pumping strength. CoQ10 has tested effective at inhibiting the oxidation of Low-Density Lipoproteins, a key process in the development of atherosclerosis.

Neurological functions in patients with Parkinson's Disease and Bell's Palsy as well as migraine sufferers have been aided by CoQ10 supplementation. Unfortunately, innate levels of CoQ10 gradually decrease with age and with the use of cholesterol-lowering medications like statins. This reduction contributes to statin's common side effects like fatigue and muscle ache and suggests why CoQ10 supplementation is becoming common practice for these patients.
