CoQ10

CoQ10 plays a vital role in a wide range of essential bodily processes, including increasing brain health, supporting healthy blood pressure, and much more. Help support cardiovascular and cardiovascular function with Swanson CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10). *

Also known as ubiquinone, CoQ10 helps in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is the energy currency of the body. As we age, our bodies produce less and less CoQ10, and this decline seems to increase after age 40, which is an excellent time to start thinking about taking a CoQ10 supplement. Cholesterol medications (such as statins), stress, and damaging free radicals can also lower CoQ10 levels in our bodies. * Product labels may vary. The same formula. New look.

What is CoQ10?

CoQ10 is classified as an antioxidant. Some sources also refer to it as a vitamin-like nutrient because it is a critical compound used by every cell in the body. The reason it’s not technically a vitamin is simply because the body makes it on its own, unlike vitamin C, for example, which must be obtained from the diet. *

Your cells use CoQ10 as a natural energy source. It is used in the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the basic form of cellular energy that cells need to grow and stay healthy. Therefore, CoQ10 is highly concentrated in the organs that require the most energy to carry out their normal tasks. Your heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas must maintain high levels of CoQ10 to function properly. *

The CoQ10 produced by your body is stored in your mitochondria, the power plants that provide energy to every cell in your body. Mitochondria also protect cells from oxidative damage and disease-causing bacteria or viruses. CoQ10 itself is a natural antioxidant, and aside from providing a source of energy, its main role is to protect your body from oxidative damage. *

As for oxidative stress, we are talking about free radicals; those unstable molecules that can roam the body causing damage to cells and contributing to aging and disease. Considering CoQ10’s important roles in supplying energy to every cell in the body and defending against oxidative stress, it’s no wonder why low levels of CoQ10 have been studied for their possible links to certain chronic diseases. *

Why choose a CoQ10 supplement?

Some foods do contain CoQ10, but not in high enough amounts that it would provide much benefit to your overall health and wellness. Unlike vitamins, minerals, and other essential compounds, you can’t just improve your diet to increase your CoQ10 intake. This is why CoQ10, ubiquinone, and ubiquinol supplements are worth a closer look. *

The second reason is biological. As you age, your body naturally loses its ability to keep up with its ongoing demand for CoQ10. You still produce it, but not at the same rate as when you were young. Therefore, many older adults include CoQ10 as part of their supplement program simply to help fill this natural gap. *

Like many other dietary supplements, CoQ10 can also play a complementary role to other supplements you may be taking. For example, CoQ10 can help increase the absorption of other essential nutrients, optimizing the effects of these beneficial compounds that are already at work in your body. *
